Later he admits this is impossible and he means “near net zero.” He also admits that wind and solar will not work because they are intermittent and battery backup for them is too expensive. He argues we emit 51 billion tons of CO 2-equivalent greenhouse gases per year and must reduce this to zero. These are the two problems he is addressing poverty and the fear of some catastrophe caused by our greenhouse emissions. He reminds us that income, health, and prosperity are all dependent upon energy consumption, the more energy we consume, the better off and healthier we are. He then warns us that if we keep on living the way we do, the impact of all of this will be catastrophic.įollowing this, Gates explains that over 800 million people in the world do not have electricity and cook and heat their homes with wood or other combustibles. He begins his book with the assertion that “To stop the warming and avoid the worst effects of climate change-and these effects will be very bad-humans need to stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.” He continues that every country will need to change its ways and every activity in the modern lifestyle involves releasing greenhouse houses, so every person must change. Bill Gates just published a new book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.

I tried to create some interesting lighting in the background without distracting for the worm dude. I chose a pose that would intimidate like a Roman Caesar. I wanted dramatic light and eventual chose these unusual variations of typical colors that would be used. I didn’t want anything else distracting from Leto II. I placed a figure in the foreground to add scale. The cover above is a favorite and burned into my brain. City on Caladan -House Atreides Cover Art. So this is what came out of my memory and imagination. I don’t remember details well and chose not to research it first. The last time I read GEOD was around 1996. I love the character and love how people envision him. Wikipedia I wanted to create my contribution to all the various god emperors. “Leto’s peace” has kept the universe quiet for that time, and the entirety of human society has become an audience for him. He is almost invulnerable to physical damage only his face is susceptible to injury, and his single greatest weakness that he shares with the sandworms, an intense vulnerability to water, is a secret. A little more than 3,500 years have passed, and in God Emperor of Dune, Leto is now almost fully transformed into a sandworm. I have enjoyed reading other novels about the last Romanovs and I thought I would find this one equally interesting. One Sentence Summary: This novel had the potential to be astonishing, but I found it slow, poorly written and let down by sketchy characterisation. But will the strength of their love be enough to save Anastasia from a violent death? But even while the rebels debate the family’s future with agonizing slowness and the threat to their lives grows more menacing, romance quietly blooms between Anastasia and Sasha, a sympathetic young guard she has known since childhood. Ousted from the imperial palace when the Bolsheviks seize control of the government, Anastasia and her family are exiled to Siberia. For Anastasia Romanov, life as the privileged daughter of Russia’s last tsar is about to be torn apart by the bloodshed of revolution. Based on recent discoveries about the brain that give us deep insights into the children we care for, what they need, and how to discipline them in ways that foster optimal development, this book offers a 'relational' approach that builds on children's innate desire to please their parents and get along well with others. What do you do? No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with such tantrums, tensions, and tears - without causing a scene. Or you get a call from the headteacher's office for the third time this month. Or one of your kids threatens a younger sibling. A breakfast bowl gets thrown across the kitchen, splattering milk and cereal all over the wall. The pioneering experts behind the bestselling The Whole-Brain Child now explore the ultimate child-raising challenge: discipline. But was I what was right for her? I know it was a fucked up way to think after I’d already taken her innocence and I felt like a bastard for even going there, but was any of this what she needed? That was the one fact that kept going through my head over and over again. I tried reminding myself of all the reasons the two of us were a bad idea, but somehow tonight, with the taste of her still fresh on my tongue and burnt into memory, I wasn’t having much luck. Now that the smoke had cleared I saw all the reasons why I shouldn’t have taken her. How could I have been so stupid so careless with her? I shouldn’t have taken her now when she was so vulnerable. Her daddy finally came and got her after I’d cleaned her up, but even with her gone the feelings were still there. Well fuck, what now? I moved around my house like a blind man. I didn’t need to say anything, she knew what was going on knew that something had changed, had shifted between us, and things would never be the same again. I grabbed her up from the mattress and held her close against my heart. When we were both back to normal and I could breathe again, the enormity of what we’d just shared hit me. And when my balls tightened and shrunk back against my body, I didn’t think twice about emptying my seed inside her, not the way I’ve always been careful not to all my life with any other. When I felt her tighten around me and her liquid heat scorched the skin of my cock, I felt like I’d accomplished something amazing. Intellectually precocious and wildly unconventional in her behavior, Andrea had a love-hate relationship with her mother, whom she adored but by whom she felt repudiated. Nevertheless, she lived until 1991, when she died, aged seventy-six. The move, which displeased her, was necessitated by the chronic ill-health of Andrea’s mother, Sylvia, the child of immigrant parents from Hungary, who suffered from a heart disease that resulted from a bout of rheumatic fever contracted in childhood, and who therefore spent frequent periods in hospital or bed-ridden at home. Cherry Hill, which was virtually all-white and, in Dworkin’s view, intellectually arid. The normal pleasures of childhood street play and friendships which she enjoyed in her first-and what she called her “true”-home in a row of brick houses were interrupted when she was ten years old, with the family’s move to Delaware City, a.k.a. Andrea Rita Dworkin, who alleged that “I used everything I know-my life-to show what must be shown, so that it can be faced,” was born on September 26, 1946, in Camden, New Jersey, which she described as a “wild, hard, corrupt city,” but one in which the schools were racially and ethnically mixed. and the sleazy machinations of Phelan's other children and their lawyers to negate Phelan's will, readers will wonder which is the real jungle never has Grisham revealed so nakedly his contempt for the legal profession. But as Grisham crosscuts from Brazil to D.C. Nate's experiences there prove nightmarish, including fierce storms, a plane crash, dangerous animals, hunger and, finally, dengue fever, which nearly kills him. The illegitimate daughter to whom the firm's client, tycoon Troy Phelan, has left his entire $11 billion fortune, Rachel is a missionary-physician tending Indians somewhere in Brazil's Pantanal region. attorney who, winding up his fourth rehab stint in 10 years, is asked by his firm to find one Rachel Lane. The novel also features the usual attorney hero and legal action, but Grisham confounds expectations by sweeping readers into adventure in the Brazilian wetlands and, more urgently, into a man's search for spiritual renewal. A traditional gangbuster Grisham opening-in which an aged billionaire outfoxes his greedy heirs by signing a bombshell will, then jumps to his death-gives little clue how this seductive tale will develop.
