Tesla is fascinating character who is dealing with both PTSD and ongoing physical challenges from an accident in her past. The book has obvious nods to The Thin Man (more the film than the novel, I think), which were a delight for this reader. Kowal's latest novel is a fun mash-up of a sci-fi and noir-ish mystery novel. Now Tesla has to figure out who actually committed the murder so that she can free her husband from security and actually get back to their honeymoon. Traveling on the luxurious cruise liner Lindgren from the Moon to Mars, the honeymoon is going swimmingly right up until someone is murdered in front of Tesla and Shal is taken into custody as the most likely suspect. Tesla Crane, celebrated inventor and heiress, is on her honeymoon with her spouse, retired private detective Shal Steward, along with her support dog, Gimlet.

Feathers is a captivating and beautiful exploration of this most enchanting object. And they have inked documents from the Constitution to the novels of Jane Austen. They have decorated queens, jesters, and priests. They silence the flight of owls and keep penguins dry below the ice. Applying the research of paleontologists, ornithologists, biologists, engineers, and even art historians, Hanson asks: What are feathers? How did they evolve? What do they mean to us? Engineers call feathers the most efficient insulating material ever discovered, and they are at the root of biology's most enduring debate. In Feathers, biologist Thor Hanson details a sweeping natural history, as feathers have been used to fly, protect, attract, and adorn through time and place. Yet their story has never been fully told. They date back more than 100 million years. Feathers are an evolutionary marvel: aerodynamic, insulating, beguiling.

In this special eBook version, experience OBSIDIAN, ONYX, and OPAL as told by Daemon Black… As the two cultures fused to form modern European society, women and the goddess were made subservient to males and their warrior gods. The Old Europeans were matriarchal agriculturists who lived without weapons, worshipped the Living Goddess and sanctified life and the earth. That expanded from the Russian steps into homelands of Old Europe and suppressed their culture with force. Her work showed that the Kugan culture was a Proto-Indo-European pastoral patriarchal warrior society that rode horse, built forts, worshipped male warrior gods and weapons. Marija Gimbutas was a professor of archaeology at UCLA and internationally known for her research into ‘Kurgan” and “Old Europe” culture. This book was Marija Gimbutas last work, it a synthesis of her work on the religion of the Living Goddess before and after patriarchal Europe. The book is about the time, when God was worshipped as female in Europe and Asia Minor, between 7000 B.C.-3000 B.C., her violent suppression by male gods and its effects on today’s society. |
