Among these developments, the American shale boom has had the most profound impact on the abundance of natural gas, reducing gas prices and changing the flow of international gas trades.ĭue to the rise in natural gas production from unconventional resources, the United States` energy landscape has transformed significantly in the past decade. With the US shale boom, the growing LNG trade, and the emergence of new gas-producing states, natural gas has become an abundant commodity, and its supply is no longer constrained to regional markets. Over the last decade, the global gas market has experienced significant transformations that greatly impacted traditional gas relations and geopolitics worldwide. Pooya believes both supporters and opponents of fracking will find this book interesting in understanding the alternative viewpoint. In this review, she looks at a book that explores the American shale gas revolution. Our first book review has been written by Pooya Hoseinpoori, a researcher in energy system modelling and policy making at Sustainable Gas Institute, Imperial College London. ‘A nuanced overview of successes, barriers and lessons learned from the American shale gas revolution.’

Their misadventures will soon turn into a fight for survival as the inevitable release of the most powerful youmu, Beyond the Boundary, approaches. Eventually, Akihito also manages to convince her to join the Literary Club, which houses two other powerful Spirit World warriors, Hiroomi and Mitsuki Nase.Īs the group's bond strengthens, however, so does the tenacity of the youmu around them. From then on, the two form an impromptu friendship that revolves around Mirai constantly trying to kill Akihito, in an effort to boost her own wavering confidence as a Spirit World warrior. In a panicked state, she plunges her blood saber into him only to realize that he's an immortal being. One day, while deep in thought on the school roof, Mirai comes across Akihito Kanbara, a rare half-breed of youmu in human form. As such, Mirai is tasked with hunting down and killing "youmu"-creatures said to be the manifestation of negative human emotions. Mirai Kuriyama is the sole survivor of a clan of Spirit World warriors with the power to employ their blood as weapons. He is big, bearded and wonderfully jovial. Harris' friend and literary agent Morton Janklow said of him: "He's one of the good guys. He currently lives in South Florida with his long-term partner Pace Barnes, a publishing editor, and has a summer home in Sag Harbor, New York. Harris remains close to his mother, Polly, and reportedly calls her every night, no matter where he is, and often discusses particular scenes from his work with her. Fellow novelist Stephen King has remarked that if writing is sometimes tedious for other authors, to Harris it is like "writhing on the floor in agonies of frustration", because, for Harris, "the very act of writing is a kind of torment". They had one daughter, Anne, before they divorced in the 1960s. At Baylor University he met and married a fellow student named Harriet. Little is known about Harris's personal life as he avoids publicity and has not given an interview since 1976. 'This BOOK!!! MZ, you truly are incredible.

No one writes slow burn like Mariana Zapata and her millions of fans agree! Now at sixteen, Grace finds herself in trouble once again. She's spent the past three years in therapy, with even her grandfather declaring the death was merely an accident and Grace is not the credible witness she believes she is. But Grace knows her mother was murdered, she remembers the man with the scar on his face and the gunshot that ended her mothers life. She hasn't seen her grandfather in three years, since her mother died in what is being called a tragic accident. With her father now serving, Grace finds herself back in Adria at Embassy Row, where she'll now be under the care of her Grandfather, the United States Ambassador. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand like dominoes and one wrong move can make them all fall down. And if she doesn't stop it, Grace isn't the only one who will get hurt. Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door, who is keeping his eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. The thing is, nobody else believes her and there's no one she can trust. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay. Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three certain things. Before she died, Harriet had claimed credit for three shows of contemporary art that had been the biggest sensations of the previous decade, sending the critics into a tailspin, since no one had even thought to connect the three shows before. Intrigued by her story, and by the explosive scandal surrounding her legacy, he begins to interview those who knew her, hoping to separate fact from fiction, only to find himself tumbling down a rabbit's hole of personal and psychological intrigue. "When Professor Hess stumbles across an unusual letter to the editor in an art journal, he is surprised to have known so little about the brilliant and mysterious artist it describes, the late Harriet Burden. Review: I, like many others, first read Jonathan Livingston Seagull as an assignment in a high school literature class. Others may watch, they may admire our resolution or despise it, but our one freedom is to love and to choose to live every day of our lives as we wish.” It’s a reminder, this little fable, that the path for us to follow is already written within. Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a story for readers who know that somewhere there’s a higher way of living than scuffling the tracks of others a story for someone who yearns to fly. “The learning curve of a highly motivated seagull goes on steeply off the top of any graph, and now and then there were students who overcame limits so perfectly that they disappeared, as Jonathan had, from the face of an earth too limited to contain them.”īook Jacket Synopsis: “This book is a song for spirits who have lived so long and so quietly by themselves. As the protests in other countries spur talk of a larger revolution in Hungary, Csilla must decide if she believes in the promise and magic of her deeply flawed country enough to risk her life to help save it, or if she should let it burn to the ground. But her carefully laid plans fall to pieces when her parents are unexpectedly, publicly exonerated. Now Csilla keeps her head down, planning her escape from this country that has never loved her the way she loves it. Before Csilla knew things about her father's legacy that she wishes she could forget. Before her parents were murdered by the Soviet police. But that was before the Communists seized power. During WWII, the river kept her family safe when they needed it most-safe from the Holocaust. In the middle of Budapest, there is a river. “A haunting, beautiful read that centers queer Jewish characters.” - BuzzFeed Escape Into Young Adult Science Fiction/FantasyĪ tumultuous tale of the student-led 1956 Hungarian revolution-and an all too timely look at the impact of Communism and the USSR in Eastern Europe-set in a fabulist, colorless post-WWII Budapest from Sydney Taylor Honor winner Katherine Locke. The Higgs Boson is in fact an excitation, an all-pervasive field known as the Higgs field. Another source of inspiration was the Higgs Boson – also known as the ‘the God particle’ – the fundamental particle discovered in the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. In developing his theory of Dust – he likes to talk of it as a process of discovery rather than creation – Pullman drew inspiration from dark matter, the equally mysterious substance that is predicted by our best scientific theories but which we have thus far not been able to observe directly. At the centre of the His Dark Materials trilogy is the mysterious substance known as ‘Dust'. What is perhaps most captivating is how Pullman draws on cutting-edge developments in science to tell his story. The violent dogmatism of the Magisterium mirrors the rising tide of nationalism the Gyptian children severed from their daemons might serve as a metaphor for the scars of a decade of austerity. The alternative reality of Lyra Belacqua’s Oxford, with its airships and daemons and gateways to other worlds, is so strange and yet somehow so familiar. The BBC/HBO dramatization of Philip Pullman’s magnum opus His Dark Materials has been one of the televisual highlights of the year, if not the decade.
