She is the Honorary Chair of the Council of Canadians and of the Washington-based Food and Water Watch. Maude Barlow is the international bestselling author of 19 books, including the bestselling Blue Water trilogy. Concluding with a step-by-step guide to making your own community blue, Maude Barlow’s latest book is a heartening example of how ordinary people can effect enormous change. Barlow recounts her own education in water issues as she and her fellow grassroots water warriors woke up to the immense pressures facing water in a warming world. Today, Paris, Berlin, Bern, and Montreal are just a few of the cities that have made themselves Blue Communities. With its simple, straightforward approach, the movement has been growing around the world for a decade. The Blue Communities Project is dedicated to three primary things: that access to clean, drinkable water is a basic human right that municipal and community water will be held in public hands and that single-use plastic water bottles will not be available in public spaces. In her newest book, Whose Water is it, Anyway? Taking water protection into public hands, she explores the how the Blue Communities Project gives people tools they can use to protect water. Maude Barlow, bestselling author and activist, explores the urgent need for water protection in a world that is running out of fresh water. It also describes earlier systems that enabled virtualization despite the lack of architectural support in hardware.Īs is often the case, theory defines a necessary-but not sufficient-set of features, and modern architectures are the result of the combination of the theoretical framework with insights derived from practical systems. The first half of the book provides the historical perspective of the theoretical framework developed four decades ago by Popek and Goldberg. Virtualization is still possible when the instruction set architecture lacks such support, but the hypervisor remains more complex and must rely on additional techniques.ĭespite the focus on architectural support in current architectures, some historical perspective is necessary to appropriately frame the problem. This book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines, and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them.

I gave Unbecoming 4 stars and Evolution 4.5 stars. Speaking of, here’s my review of ‘The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer’ & ‘The Evolution of Mara Dyer’ by Michelle Hodkin. It is a full extension of those first 3 books. So don’t think you can read this as a standalone trilogy. Noah’s story picks up right where the Mara story ends. “The first time I heard her, I never wanted to listen to anyone else.” The only part that I can confidently say pertains to this story is that secrets are revealed and their damage may be irreparable.Ī Warning: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t read the Mara Dyer trilogy. That’s great but I also (personally) didn’t feel like they adequately fit the books they represented either. In keeping with the super vague book descriptions that the Mara Dyer trilogy had, you can see that this one doesn’t give much away either. Mara Dyer is the only one he trusts with his secrets and his future.Īnd both are scared that uncovering the truth about themselves will force them apart.

First, let me introduce you… Cover pic from Goodreads Learn more about him, how he thinks, how he really feels for Mara. But I fell in love with Noah Shaw and really wanted to get inside his head. They wanted to stick with the happy ending they received with The Retribution of Mara Dyer and that’s okay. Some weren’t anxious for this trilogy to come out. Agent: Jenni Ferrari-Adler, Union Literary. Revisionist fairy tales are nothing new, but Adelmann’s are elevated by accomplished prose and wry humor. In the background is a running commentary about the power structure of narratives (“Morals create a labyrinth of rules geared toward blaming the victim,” says Bernice, quoting a woman who later became one of Bluebeard’s victims). Adelmann’s retelling of “Rumpelstiltskin” is particularly good it involves Raina, the oldest of the group, and includes a stunning revelation during one of Will’s sessions of an imp-human sex scene. Then there’s Ashlee, a “survivor” of a Bachelor-esque dating show and Ruby, who as a child was swallowed by a wolf. Ruby, once devoured by a wolf, now wears him as a coat. Bernice grapples with the fallout of dating a psychopathic, blue-bearded billionaire. Everything was great until Bernice discovered his secret habit of imprisoning and murdering women in his mansion. Genre: Author: In present-day New York City, five women meet in a basement support group to process their traumas. First up is Bernice, who was whisked into a whirlwind romance with a tech billionaire nicknamed “Bluebeard” for his blue-dyed beard. Every Friday evening, they meet in a YMCA rec room to drink coffee and share their experiences. Six women, all public figures, join a mysterious group therapy experiment facilitated by the handsome if preternaturally bland Will. Adelmann’s funny and poignant debut novel (after the collection Girls of a Certain Age) invokes classic and modern fairy tales to portray a group of traumatized women. “Hold on tight for an intriguing, adrenaline-pumping ride.

Between 1980 and the present day, American political opinion seemed to move decidedly to the right with an occasional swing to more moderate positions. The beginning of the twenty-first century also brought a new threat of worldwide terrorism, engaging the U.S. On the foreign policy front, the United States welcomed the end of the “Cold War” but found affiliation with the Soviet Union (later Russia) difficult as the countries’ interests remained at odds. Through the late twentieth and early twenty-first century the United States wrestled with a myriad of social and economic problems due to changes in demographics and technological innovation. This philosophy espoused a significant reduction in government regulation, diminished social welfare spending, and increased military spending to resurrect the American people from the economic malaise of the 1970s. The election of 1980 (the “Reagan Revolution”) signaled the completion of a movement toward “new conservatism” started in 1968.
