![]() ![]() Farmlands lie fallow and the soil is contaminated by toxins. Once the safest, most prosperous place on earth, the United States is now a lawless, scantly populated wasteland. Rich in its understanding of America's history and ethos, it is a paean to the human spirit. THE PESTHOUSE is Jim Crace's most compelling novel to date. Confronted by bandits rounding up men for slavery, finding refuge in the Ark, a religious community that makes bizarre demands on those they shelter, Franklin and Margaret find their wariness of each other replaced by deep trust and an intimacy neither one has ever experienced before. ![]() Tentatively, the two join forces and make their way through the ruins of old America.

When they returned to England, Speke rushed to take credit, disparaging Burton. Two years in, deep in the African interior, Burton became too sick to press on, but Speke did, and claimed he found the source in a great lake that he christened Lake Victoria. They would endure tremendous hardships, illness, and constant setbacks. Speke was a young aristocrat and Army officer determined to make his mark, passionate about hunting, Burton’s opposite in temperament and beliefs. He was also mercurial, subtle, and an iconoclastic atheist. Burton spoke twenty-nine languages, and was a decorated soldier. ![]() Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke were sent by the Royal Geographical Society to claim the prize for England. At the same time, European powers sent off waves of explorations intended to map the unknown corners of the globe-and extend their colonial empires. ![]() In the 19th century, there was a frenzy of interest in ancient Egypt.

What emerges from his analysis is that social snobbery is everywhere in the bourgeois world. Bourdieu bases his study on surveys that took into account the multitude of social factors that play a part in a French person’s choice of clothing, furniture, leisure activities, dinner menus for guests, and many other matters of taste. In the course of everyday life people constantly choose between what they find aesthetically pleasing and what they consider tacky, merely trendy, or ugly. Distinction is at once a vast ethnography of contemporary France and a dissection of the bourgeois mind. France’s leading sociologist focuses here on the French bourgeoisie, its tastes and preferences. Pierre Bourdieu brilliantly illuminates this situation of the middle class in the modern world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Adin Tredeger, an authority on antique erotica, is flying home to San Francisco following the purchase of a very rare manuscript on behalf of his university.

They transport you to another world, engage your emotions, speak to your soul and leave a lasting impression on your heart. There are some books that touch you in a way that most others don’t. Oh and the fact that I just can not write a review that does justice to it. The story caught me hook, line, and sinker and the only bad thing is that it had to end. It was simply perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing about it, even if I could. I am in love with Edmund, I am in love with Juliana, I am in love with everything, every last little thing, about this book. This was one hundred percent a “can’t put it down” book, it was an “I’m totally and utterly in love with both main characters” book, along with a “why did it have to end?” book. However I would read them every single time if they were as captivating and wonderful as The Alpha of Rickett Hall.
