![]() ![]() Since then I have been back to Cambridge to read the seven volumes of Reginald Skelton's Discovery Journals, and his sledging diaries, more times than I can keep track of but every time something new catches my attention. The archivist, Bob Headland, apologised for the terrible noise of the construction work, which he feared would frustrate any attempt to concentrate, but all I could hear was the sound of the Discovery's bows scrunching through the pack ice and the howl of the Antarctic wind as the ship fought to hold her own in the teeth of storm force Southerly squalls off Coulman Island. Directly outside the window in front of my desk was the building site which was to become the bright, airy Shackleton Memorial Library. By then into my fifties, seated in the library at the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) in Cambridge, I began reading the Antarctic journals of Reginald Skelton, not yet out of his twenties, who had been chosen as Scott's chief engineer on the Discovery Expedition. Forty two years after his death we had, in a sense, changed places and I was getting the full story. I was only ten when he died in 1956 and he never, as far as I can remember, told me anything about his time in the Antarctic. Reginald Skelton Was Chief Engineer, And Offical Photographer To Captain Scott's Discovery Expedition My memories of my grandfather are of an old, but still fit and upright, man who had a deep gravelly voice and chuckled a lot. ![]()

![]() Even with such high profile gigs, it’s been a long road for Lysette and for “Monica,” for which she first auditioned in early 2017. Most audiences will recognize Lysette from her breakthrough role as Shea in the groundbreaking series “Transparent,” or opposite Jennifer Lopez in “Hustlers,” where her casting was a major boon for trans representation in a studio movie. Delivering both gravitas and levity as the central character in “Monica,” she’s finally given the chance to shine. ![]() Whether she’s seen in a sleek compact, a glancing rearview, or a profile in patina, there’s no such thing as too much Trace Lysette.

There is an easily-read Table of Contents. Suggested bibliographies for further reading are noted at the end of the book. This text is efficiently organized with the commentary following the text. This would be easy for a Classicist to do, but the casual Latin learner would have difficulties. It would be up to the instructor to break the readings up into segments. The 299 lines of the Latin text itself are fully provided with no breaks. Gildenhard offers the same high quality, academic approach to her comments, bibliographies, and interpretative essays. Translation, the goal of most Latin textbooks, is straightforward. Gildenhard's study questions are thought provoking and assist the student/reader in understanding the world of Aeneas and his time in Carthage. Gildenhard's study questions encourage readers in a class to discuss The Aeneid's relevancy in the modern world. The Latin is separate from the commentary, which makes updates easy to implement, should they ever be necessary.

Blight has spent the better part of his scholarly career pondering Douglass’ odyssey. Blight captures the many sides of this complex man. In one of the year’s most impressive biographies, Yale historian David W. Self-taught, Douglass was blessed with abundant literary gifts that he showcased in hundreds of articles and a series of classic autobiographies. With an almost unmatched rhetorical firepower, Douglass mounted a devastating critique of slavery, its psychological effects on both master and enslaved, and its dire meanings for the Republic. ![]() Born Fredrick Bailey in 1818 on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to a slave woman and a white man whose identity remains unknown, Douglass made a daring escape from captivity in 1838, settled in the North - he lived in Rochester for many years - and quickly emerged as a star orator and ferocious abolitionist. Frederick Douglass’ journey from slavery to freedom to renown is one of the astounding stories of 19th-century America. ![]() ![]() ![]() They were driving to a beach at first then he realised when the pegasus landed it had one if his friends from the camp he goes to on his back, Percy is a half blood which means that he is half god half mortal and his dad is Poseidon, the god of the sea, the camp is where half bloods go to train and stay away from monsters as the half bloods have different scent to monsters so they attract them meaning lots of monsters would get ub their way but the camp has a special border created by zeus, in hob our of his daughter who died he also made a tree which holds the border, if the tree died the border fades, because of the border the camp is safe for people like Percy, when your There you can either only go for the summer or stay the whole year, Percy goes during summer but every summer is a new adventure for him.

Much of the action is observed rather than experienced by the protagonists, but the impact it has on them is deeply felt. I rarely write GR reviews, but I almost didn't pick this up because of some of the reviews I've seen, so I wanted to add my five stars. ![]() |
