No one should be left in the hole in the middle of the Doughnut, falling short on the essentials of life, ranging from food and water to gender equality and having a political voice. The Doughnut’s social foundation, which is derived from the social priorities in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, sets out the minimum standard of living to which every human being has a claim. For far too long now, the damages done in the drive for growth have been parked as externalities to be dealt later. The Doughnut Model is an integrated approach that combines circular economy, planetary boundaries and also adds the social justice needs to it. The chase behind utility, efficiency and growth have sidelined some of the fundamental moot points that need to be brought to the core like an unpaid care economy where women take up the humongous burden of looking after their families for no pay, environmental externalities and the raging wealthy disparity. Ignoring the power of the collaborative commons in the economy inevitably has led to ignoring some of the most disruptive, dynamic elements of the economy.

There are many books on the list that are synonymous with the science fiction genre and the first one I will be talking about is The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. The list is in no specific order but what came to my mind first. A Clockwork Orange by by Anthony Burgess, 1962.Fahrenheit 451 by by Ray Bradbury, 1953.Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, 1990.Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, 1864.

By Philip K.The Best Science Fiction Books of All Time Therefore, “Zami” is not only a historical record of Lorde’s life, but also a challenging queer statement to the world. She reflects upon how things in our own personal lives can have political and social meaning to them in the world around us as well. It recounts intricate and fascinating details of her personal life and her feelings towards certain events and people. “Biomythography” is the new genre Lorde invented for this book because it has elements of biography, myth, and history all in one. “Zami: A New Spelling of My Name”, is a 1982 biomythography written by Audre Lorde that chronicles her life from growing up with immigrant parents in Harlem, NY to flourishing as a revolutionary black, lesbian woman and discovering the gay scene of New York City. Stephanie Plum?) that just keep going and going and going and I'd so much rather the author just wrap them up and satisfy us with the answers. And, yet, I appreciate Colleen's choice to limit the number of Gardella Vampire books because there are some series (Umm. In fact, I seldom read series books and eventually tend to abandon a series, but I never grew weary of Victoria, Max and Sebastian. I absolutely loved the characters, the setting, and the taut action scenes. I was, too, but I flipped through the first book when I saw it in my local bookstore because Colleen was one of the early visitors to my blog (so I had to at least read a bit to see if I thought I'd like it) and The Rest Falls Away passed my flip test with flying colors. Booklogged made a comment that she's not a romance reader and was initially hesitant about picking up a vampire romance. Oh, man, am I ever going to miss this series. Signet Eclipse - Paranormal Historical Romance “Underworld” begins right where “Abandon” ends, with Pierce stuck in the “Underworld” with John. I was hoping and expecting the novel to capture that sexy eeriness depicted on the cover, which is both eye-catching and beautiful.

Skyanne couldn’t wait to get her hands on “Underworld,” but in some ways, it didn’t quite live up to her expectations, though she’d still recommend the book. She recently read “Underworld,” the sequel to Meg Cabot’s “Abandon” that explores and reimagines the myth of Persephone and Hades. Today’s post comes to us from Skyanne, a huge fan of YA novels. Hodge spun a unique twist on the classic story, Little Red Riding Hood.įirst, I want to compliment on this book’s cover. It’s so so so so SO good!! I loved it from beginning to end. Inspired by the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Crimson Bound is an exhilarating tale of darkness, love, and redemption.ĭamn.

Ten Rules for Marrying a Duke is a fun and sexy historical romance that follows Arabella Bromley and Silas, the Duke of Whittsley as they enter into a marriage contract and find more than they ever bargained for. And the only thing that could ruin their plan is the one thing they never planned on: love.ĭisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links, including Amazon, and I may earn a small commission, at no cost to you, if you purchase through my links. Like long, scorching kisses and ensuring they’re both exquisitely satisfied. They have one year to achieve their goals and ten iron-clad rules to keep them on track. And that’s where he can’t quite resist Arabella’s distinctly outrageous plan: if he saves her family, she’ll give him an heir. Unfortunately, a sense of mischief doesn’t excuse a high-ranking noble from family duty-especially where it concerns producing a son. The Duke of Whittsley has an ungentlemanly tendency to disregard the rules. But in order to carry off her plan, Arabella needs a duke… and she has just the rakish fellow in mind. Now Arabella is desperate to restore her family’s ruined reputation to favor amongst the ton. Synopsis: Bookish Arabella Bromley never gave a fig for society’s rules-until her sister ran off with a man below her station. Zone is the anti- Schindler’s List and Glazer the anti-Spielberg. Things like good, evil, and atrocity are all depictable within Spielberg’s composition and contained within the edges of the frame. Spielberg’s film prioritizes moral legibility Amon Göth’s wickedness and Oskar Schindler’s purity are painted with absolute clarity. Perhaps the most famous visual representation is Schindler’s List. Composed mostly of static long shots and little narrative, the film reveals a compartmentalized existence, where delicate images conceal the absolute barbarity just beyond their homelife.Īs a quintessence of unfathomable amorality, The Holocaust has received countless artistic treatments to the point where most are banal retreads. This is the core of English filmmaker Jonathan Glazer’s latest film The Zone of Interest, an experimental representation of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his family’s placid domestic life, a single barrier separating their estate and Höss’ deathcamp. No film has a didactic imperative, but actually recognizing “evil” means reckoning with how it postures itself as the opposite: as something tame, respectable, or even pretty. Historically, even the most vile and selfish specimens of this species are cloaked in some shred of contradiction, whether sincere or constructed as deflection. I’m drawn towards films that depict the humanity (simulated or otherwise) amongst the most morally depraved. Sweet without being cloying, these Brambly Hedge books are the perfect selection for the child who enjoys animal fantasy, and is somewhere between the early picture-book stage, and independent chapter-book reading.
