She created the soundtrack for Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. Winifred Phillips is an award-winning composer for video games, television, radio and film. Moreover, I understand that my music can help them create the game they want to create." ―Winifred Phillips. "When I started out, I was in such awe of the people who make games While my respect for the members of game development teams has only grown over the years, I now understand that they all struggle daily to achieve their artistic goals, just as I do. Besides while the Great War between Great Britain and Germany had been ongoing for years, there was a tacit agreement that neutral and commercial vessels were not fair game.ĭespite an announcement from the German embassy which ran in the New York Times on May 1, 1915, warning that commercial vessels were vulnerable to attack in waters encompassed in the war zone, no one paid much attention. It was fully capable of ramming and destroying a smaller ship. It’s size alone was daunting its image would scare off most warships that were smaller and barely faster than the swift steamship. Just like the Titanic before it, the Lusitania was considered to be virtually unsinkable. However being an ocean liner for passengers wasn’t to be the reason why it became an important part of world history. While some of Britain’s private steamships had been converted for the war, the Lusitania had no connection whatsoever with the war or wartime maneuvers. This splendid example of man’s advancements in shipbuilding was a commercial vessel that carried passengers and cargo. It was called the “magnificent ship” standing seven stories from dock to bridge and consuming coal at a rate of 140 tons a day while just standing still. “Dead Wake” by Erik Larson tells the story of a fabulous steamship, the Lusitania. Life is about balance and I needed a bit of fluffy romance in my life. I had a couple of books left on my monthly TBR but they were all war-related or quite serious looking and I wasn’t really in the mood for that. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.īut the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Unfortunately apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. He’s a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he’s never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship…and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. Now that his dad’s making a comeback, Luc’s back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he’s never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Luc O’Donnell is tangentially–and reluctantly–famous. Success may also have obscured how ambivalent she was, how often on the cusp of identities. Their marketing triumph – in which Jansson enthusiastically participated – has overshadowed her other achievements as a painter, novelist, short-story writer, anti-Nazi cartoonist, and designer of magazine covers. The tales of amiable troll creatures have been taken to generations of hippy hearts their pear-shaped faces have adorned a million ties. Her illustrated Moomin books, which began to be published just after the second world war, brought her phenomenal acclaim and devotion. Klovharun encapsulates something of Jansson’s originality as an artist and writer – and her human presence. The island meant “privacy, remoteness, intimacy, a rounded whole without bridges or fences”. For 18 years she and her partner Tuulikki Pietilä spent long summers there, heading out from Helsinki as soon as the ice broke in April, leaving only in early October. It has scarcely any foliage, no running water and no electricity. Klovharun in the Finnish archipelago is tiny – some 6,000 sq metres – and isolated, “a rock in the middle of nowhere”, according to Jansson’s niece, Sophia. I n 1964, when she was in her 50s, the Moomin creator Tove Jansson settled on her dream island. Luckily, though “mermaids are a bit sensitive,” they are also “very forgiving,” and the three spend the rest of the day frolicking in the sea with a host of whimsical and colorful sea animals. “Benji felt terrible.” He realizes that his words have hurt the dugong and he apologizes. On a double-page spread showcasing her wide gray body, flippers, and short snout, she proclaims, “I am a beautiful mermaid!” Bel is quietly supportive, but when Benji continues to point out all her dugong parts and calls her a sea cow, his negativity finally penetrates, and she bursts into tears. Not only does the sassy sea mammal take umbrage with being called “it,” she also corrects Benji’s initial assumption. The dugong, however, has a differing opinion. When Benji and Bel spot an unusual creature on the beach one morning, Benji knows exactly what it is: a dugong. The opening epigraph by the late Ottoman poet and novelist Ahmet Rasim (1884-1933), “the beauty of a landscape resides in its melancholy,” sets the mood for the entire book. Distilled through Pamuk’s memory, the story of Istanbul is recounted as it relates to the author’s own life. Pamuk’s Istanbul might disappoint those looking for a guidebook, as he does not fill his book with a conventional history of the city, nor does he equip the reader with a list of tourist attractions and landmarks. The city plays a leading role once again in Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk’s autobiography, Istanbul: Memories and the City, where the author construes his identity through interactions with the city. Istanbul, that cosmopolitan city of empires, featured in the itineraries of many travelers, an exoticized setting for numerous famed works of world literature, consistently amazing its visitors as much with its history as with its stray cats and dogs. You can read additional entries, as they are published, linked at the conclusion of this post. Editor’s note: Istanbul is the Metropolis of the Month for September. It’s also a book that’s unlike other Dean Koontz books written. Especially if the reader considers that this book is written with a bit of humor in it. In our opinion, we feel that every reader should give this book a read. However, we feel that true fans of this author are probably going to want to give this book a try. Readers who aren’t already Dean Koontz’s fans might be turned off by this book a little bit, especially with the macabre way that it’s told. Yes, we understand that the story sounds weird, and at times it gets even weirder, but it’s also a story that’s filled with so many twists and turns, the reader will be on the edge of their seats. In the story, Rudy’s father predicts five terrible days that he will have to face, the information he relays to his son before he dies, and then Rudy meets an unhappy clown that believes aerialists are out to get him. It starts with Rudy Tock and his wife Madelain going to the hospital to have their son, a chain of events is begun that will change their lives, and the lives of their family forever. Some people are turned off by this tale that’s full of shocks and surprises and characters that are unique, to say the least. Our favorite book by Dean Koontz is Life Expectancy, and we have to say that it’s a book that is a bit controversial among his longtime readers.
