but quite possibly, portentously, its very last. In this, the maiden voyage through Terry Pratchett's divinely and recognizably twisted alternate dimension, the well-meaning but remarkably inept wizard Rincewind encounters something hitherto unknown in the Discworld: a tourist! Twoflower has arrived, Luggage by his side, to take in the sights and, unfortunately, has cast his lot with a most inappropriate tour guide-a decision that could result in Twoflower's becoming not only Discworld's first visitor from elsewhere. In truth, the Discworld is not so different from our own. a flat world sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. The first novel in the hilarious and irreverent Discworld series from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.Ī writer who has been compared to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams, Sir Terry Pratchett has created a complex, yet zany world filled with a host of unforgettable characters who navigate around a profound fantasy universe, complete with its own set of cultures and rules.

Open the book to any random page, and you will likely find some mention of God or even a reference to Scripture. I suppose we must be branching out now, because Joel Osteen’s Your Best Life Now is decidedly not one of those. After all, the pattern here at 9Marks has been that we review Christian books. Someone might legitimately raise the question why we are reviewing this book. Well before it became trendy for TV series to give modern voices to historic figures like Russian empress Catherine the Great and Romantic poet Emily Dickinson, we had Beaton’s “ Hark! A. But the pattern has repeated and repeated and I fell in step with it, without even thinking about it and without really questioning what would happen.” It might seem like it’s a singular story. “Out migration has been happening for work here, in Nova Scotia, in the Maritimes for over 100 years,” says Beaton, whose grandfather worked on the harvest trains, which during the early 20th Century would transport Eastern Canadians out west to harvest Prairie wheat by hand. Published by her long-time press, Drawn & Quarterly, “Ducks” illustrates how Beaton followed in the steps of many trapped in a “have-not” tourism-focused economy that has suffered from decades of government neglect. In 2005, the 21-year-old recent arts grad from Mabou followed the path of “goin’ down the road,” well-trodden by generations of Cape Bretoners and other Atlantic Canadians, and took a job in the oilsands in Fort McMurray, hoping to pay off her student loans. This book investigates the complex relationship between funerary treatment and wider social dynamics through a contextual analysis of human skeletal remains and associated mortuary data from Voudeni, an important Mycenaean (1400-1050 BC) chamber tomb cemetery in Achaea, Greece. This book presents new perspectives and challenges for all archaeologists with interests in maritime connectivity. Combining archaeological, geoarchaeological and anthropological approaches with ancient texts and network theory, he demonstrates the application of this scheme in several case studies. He offers a complete template of conceptual and methodological tools for recovering small worlds and the communities that inhabited them. Dr Tartaron argues that local maritime networks, in the form of 'coastscapes' and 'small worlds', are far more representative of the true fabric of Mycenaean life. These long-distance relations have been celebrated and much studied by contrast, the vibrant worlds of local maritime interaction and exploitation of the sea have been virtually ignored. By all accounts a seafaring people, they enjoyed maritime connections with peoples as distant as Egypt and Sicily. Tartaron presents a new and original reassessment of the maritime world of the Mycenaean Greeks of the Late Bronze Age. You know that feeling of, ‘Just don’t have the energy to do anything’ well, this certainly perks up the spirit and sends those frown lines on a bit of a holiday.
