In a series of enlightening and wide-ranging discussions, all published here for the first time, Chomsky radically reinterprets the events of the past three decades, covering topics from foreign policy during Vietnam to the decline of welfare under the Clinton administration. Now, in Understanding Power, Peter Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky’s recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Erin Jones Wesley.Įrin, please share your story with us. ![]() ![]() ![]() She started with a couple of books in the series known as ‘The Emperor’s Edge’ and then she wrote a book called ‘Encrypted’. So, in around 2009, she decided to finish up some novels that she had been tinkering with. However, Buroker soon realized that this was unsatisfying for her: her imagination had a much wider scope, and she wanted to be able to tell her own complex and engaging stories in print. In fact, she states that one of the reasons why she found marketing an appealing career at first is because she thought that it would consist in telling people stories about different products and how they would improve their lives. Throughout her varied and exciting life, Buroker had almost always written down little stories. In addition, Buroker was once upon a time a US army soldier. Before she became established as a novelist, Buroker had many jobs, including working in fast food restaurants, being a lifeguard, and working as a marketer and blogger. This eclecticism reflects the interesting life of the author. In addition, there is a substantial admixture of sci fi elements in many of Buroker’s works. ![]() Her books definitely have elements of fantasy in them, for example, but this is also enmeshed with an interest in the world of steam punk. Lindsay Buroker is an author who writes across many genres. ![]() ![]() ![]() Or you can purchase the FOREVER BOUND anthology that includes: BOUND BY BLOOD, BOUND IN DARKNESS, BOUND IN SIN, and BOUND BY THE NIGHT.

Little Charlie Bucket thought all his dreams had come true when he was invited to visit the amazing factory of the marvelously mad chocolatier, Mr. But that’s not to say it doesn’t have its own sweet, far-out charm! First published all the way back in 1964, the original has since been adapted to film no less than three times (in ’71, ’05, and ’17 ) and has its own video games, musicals, and even an opera! Even more amazing, one of its main characters has become so synonymous with chocolate and madness-always a dangerous combination, no matter how you slice it-that it even inspired an entire candy brand for real-life confectionery corporation, Nestlé ! How in that name of all that is scrumdiddlyumptious can a sequel top that? Well. But in this case, I think the problem lays not in that the sequel is necessarily bad, but that its predecessor is just too good. Some relish the chance to revisit their favorite characters and join them on new adventures, while others would rather cherish the memories they already have and not risk tarnishing them. Though there are exceptions to the rule, sequels have a really bad habit of making audiences roll their eyes, foam at the mouth, or heave a brokenhearted sigh. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is an ownvoices book and you can tell. I really liked the focus on the formative years of identity, and how being in that stage of your life where you're trying to find yourself is complicated so much by also trying to understand your queer identity. I related to them both a lot, but also felt quite Seen because it's really rare to have queer friends in books. I always say queer people travel in packs and the friendship between the two really resonated with me. The friendship between Mark and Kate was my favourite thing about this. Kate is in love with a girl she barely knows, and Mark is in love wish his best best friend Ryan who may or may not know. They run into eachother in the city one night and realise, over one wild night, that they do have some things on common. You Know Me Well follows Kate and Mark, who sit next to eachother in class and never talk. I read it pretty much in one sitting and enjoyed all of it so much. I loved the friendship between Mark and Kate, a lesbian and gay character and just how this whole book played out. ![]() To be honest, this was the exact kind of queer book I needed and I didn't even realise that until I read it. This book had the most iconic mlm/wlw solidarity and I am HERE FOR IT.
