![]() ![]() Evanovich fans will find this closer in style to the Stephanie Plum novels." - Booklist A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon can stop it. Through the streets of Washington, D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. ![]() What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country. At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight. Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with mega-bank Blane-Grunwald. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law. Good thing he's also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he'd probably be homeless. Emerson Knight is introverted, eccentric, and has little to no sense of social etiquette. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Janet Evanovich, bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series, teams up with Emmy-winning writer Phoef Sutton for a brand-new series of mysteries featuring Emerson Knight and Riley Moon, a dynamic duo with instant and undeniable chemistry. ![]() ![]() Despite Perlstein’s claim to CBS News’ Bob Schieffer, in a video introduction to these media enhancements, that these clips “complete” the book, a hard-copy reader of Nixonland probably would not lose much, if anything, from skipping this enhanced version. ![]() Others, which Perlstein described in the text, are illuminating: for example, a segment on Stokely Carmichael’s introduction of the establishment-quaking phrase “black power” to the national discussion during an angry demonstration in Mississippi, and Walter Cronkite’s meticulous detailing of what was then known of the Watergate scandal, before Watergate had even become a household word. Some of these replace and augment the coverage in Perlstein’s book based on NBC or ABC reports. ![]() The videos, few longer than two minutes and most considerably shorter, cover race riots, anti-war demonstrations, assassinations, the war in Vietnam, the chaos of the 1968 Democratic convention, presidential speeches to the nation and so on. This enhanced e-book version replaces the photos illustrating the book with more than 30 contemporary video clips scattered throughout, all made available by CBS News. In its hardcover format, Nixonland succeeded in telling the complicated story of the 1960s partly through a deft use of narration based on the medium most Americans relied on in that turbulent decade: network TV news reports. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Back when I was still living in Tokyo (circa 2004-9), Shinjuku was one of my main stomping grounds ( the film school I was attending is located nearby in Takadanobaba ), so these lovely illustrations of the area definitely brings back a lot of great memories and nostalgia for me. The backdrop of the film is set primarily in locations around Shinjuku (in particular Shinjuku Gyoen), one of the busiest areas in central Tokyo. A total of 140 pieces are showcased in this book, together with a small collection of select storyboards, character and color design sheets and more. Which this book delivers, and then some the background art pieces are nothing sort of stunning. A picture book was released back in 2013, which I reviewed here, but only a proper, dedicated art book can do justice to the sheer volume of art created for the film. It is unclear why this art book is only now published, some 8 years after the movie’s release, but I’m nonetheless elated that it is. The Garden Of Words (Kotonoha No Niwa/言の葉の庭) is a 2013 animated film by Makoto Shinkai of Your Name / Weathering With You fame. ![]() ![]() These days, this is because I do not want to be in any way responsible for the embarrassing farce called the British Government. I regret to say this didn’t stop me from voting.īut in the years since I have usually decided that it was better for everyone, including me, if I stayed away from the ballot box. I was one of the very first to vote at 18, in the 1970 General Election, and I thought then – as I think now – that I was far too young and inexperienced to have a say in how the country was governed. ![]() Highly-democratic Taiwan, by contrast, does not let you vote till you are 20. You can vote at 16 in Scotland, too, and look where that has got them. ![]() ![]() Why do people think that, the more of us who have the vote, the more democratic and free a country will be? In Cuba, you can vote at 16, but only for the grisly Castro regime. ![]() ![]() Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions.īut perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world-the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners.
