It was published in hardcover by Shasta in 1957, followed the same year by this abridged Ace Double edition…. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised… It is another “fix-up”, though a fairly coherent one, comprising five novelettes first published in Astounding in 19. I approached Empire of the Atom with some caution. van Vogt’s Empire of the Atom and Space Station #1 by Frank Belknap Long. But over at his website Strange at Ecbatan, Rich Horton has piqued my interest in a 1957 Ace Double, pairing A.E. It’s been a month or two since I’ve been able to make time for some classic pulp SF. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Later that year, a pamphlet selling Patagonia's virtues was written and distributed back home, by another Welshman, Hugh Hughes. Hughes' promises of a land much like Wales were somewhat overstated. They were offered land by an Argentinian minister, despite the region already being occupied by an indigenous tribe. In 1862, he travelled to Patagonia's Chubut Valley, accompanied by Welsh Liberal politician Sir Love Parry-Jones (whose home estate, Madryn, would give its name to the port in which the settlers landed). The idea of creating a remote utopia away from the influence of the English language became his obsession.Ī Caernarfon-born publisher and printer named Lewis Jones felt the same way. ![]() Jones, knew how hard it was for the Welsh language to thrive in its motherland. One non-conformist minister from Bala who had moved to Ohio, Michael D. Pouring scorn on Welsh speakers, and advocating punishments like the Welsh Not (a piece of wood given to children who spoke Welsh in school, often hung around their necks), it prompted waves of migration from Wales to America. An 1847 parliamentary report on Welsh education (later known as The Treachery Of The Blue Books) made matters worse by making disparaging comments about the Welsh language. In early 19th century Wales, Welsh speakers, many of them non-conformist Christians, felt they were being persecuted for their language and culture. ![]() ![]() We invited a group of artists, scholars, and critics to respond. ![]() ![]() Addressing multiple, intersecting histories of exploitation and expropriation, and exploring possibilities for their reparation and restitution, Azoulay disentangles the power structures in which we are implicated while eschewing easy escapes or disavowals.Īzoulay’s text is a complex one, ranging fields and posing difficult questions in a multi-form book that spans seven thick chapters. Ariella Aïsha Azoulay’s new book, Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism, is a magisterial call to reorient our relations to objects, archives, art, and plunder. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nicola Cornickīoth an experienced historian and a highly esteemed author, Nicola Cornick writes genre-bending romances with all the immersive attention to detail that you’d expect from someone who studied history! Another great series by Milan begins with The Duke Who Didn’t, a well-written multicultural romance with characters you’re sure to fall for as you read. You can’t go wrong with Milan’s seven-book The Brothers Sinister series, which kicks off with The Duchess War, a slow-burn romance between quiet wallflower Minerva Lane and the handsome duke she’s been trying to avoid. The reading community is certainly grateful for the change in career paths, as Milan’s novels are filled with well-written romance and chemistry that’s off the charts. Writing historical romances wasn’t Courtney Milan’s first career choice - from receiving a graduate degree in theoretical chemistry to graduating from law school, she now spends her days writing full-time. Her most popular novels include The Duchess Deal, the first in a four-book series, and regency rom-com Romancing the Duke. ![]() ![]() Currently residing in Southern California, Tessa Dare lives with her husband and two kids, spending her days working on new writing for her dedicated readers. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice. ![]() Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.

This is a book both timeless and timely, burnished with anger but tempered by wit, and ultimately a hard-won offering of hope - a sometimes inconvenient, but nonetheless indispensable account for all of us, Indian and non-Indian alike, seeking to understand how we might tell a new story for the future In the process, King refashions old stories about historical events and figures, takes a sideways look at film and pop culture, relates his own complex experiences with activism, and articulates a deep and revolutionary understanding of the cumulative effects of ever-shifting laws and treaties on Native peoples and lands. ![]() Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other. The Inconvenient Indian is at once a “history” and the complete subversion of a history-in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian” in North America. ![]() |
