![]() ![]() It’s a fairly complex star and only grows in complexity with the discovery of not one, but two more layers of dust rings. It’s about 440 million years old - which is about halfway through its lifespan, reported The New York Times. Through previous imaging, scientists knew that an outer ring surrounded the hot star, but for the first time, the JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument showed three levels of dust that span more than 14 billion miles away from the star - which is “150 times the distance of Earth from the sun,” per NASA.īoth NASA and the European Space Agency contributed to the finding of the rings and the image captured.įomalhaut is a star located in the Piscis Austrinus constellation with its own asteroid belt.

Punk Paradox: A Memoir - Greg Graffin's Book Ships Ī historical memoir and cultural criticism of punk rock's evolution, by the legendary singer-songwriter of Bad Religion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her judgment on that momentous period of social upheaval and dislocation is thus informed essentially by the experiences of three generations of her family. The affective power of the narrative derives from its close relation to the Chinese Revolution and its aftermath-or, rather, from the author’s skilful location of her story within the larger historical context of an emergent modern China. Jung Chang-or ‘Zhang Rong’ in the standard pinyin used by the author for many of her characters-offers a very moving and compelling family story. And yet at times the author’s attitude jars, in a sense that strongly brought home to me the way in which each of us produces a determinate social meaning out of our own experience. I confess that I was on occasions moved to tears by the book-either out of feelings of empathy or as a result of unspeakably sad thoughts and emotions. footnote * The author, someone of my own age and background, was born in 1952 to a Communist family, and like myself became a Red Guard and was sent to the countryside for some years to work. The significance and integrity of this first-hand account of the lives of three women in twentieth-century China-the author, her mother and grandmother-so vividly written and ambitious in scope, are beyond question. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Like I said he is an absolute manwhore and of course she is a virgin. It is a forced marriage trope that is done through a business contract. ![]() Plotwise it also wasn´t anything special. (This is the part of the review where spoilers come in so please be aware of that!) Even Saint and Ariadne claim to hate each other. Also why does everybody in this series hate each other so much? There is always hate between at least four characters in each book. Ariadne has one friend that is in exactly two scenes over the whole span of the book. The side characters, again, were barely there. ![]() In my opinion there was not really any chemistry. The two have a bit of sexual tension but that was about it for me. Of course she is the virgin to his manwhore, because how else would it be. Saint is pretty much an arrogant ass, praising himself over course of the whole book that he would be absolutely amazing and sex with him would be heaven. On one positive note, Ariadne was quite a sweet FMC, she seems like a nice girl, but I have to say also pretty naive. Here I was, hoping that this book would be better than the first one.Let me tell you, I have some emotions too for this book, and it ain´t good ones. This is a two POV book, told by the POV´s of Saint and Ariadne. "My chest burned as emotions swelled again. ![]() ![]() ![]() And Laney is going to show them just how true.

She's not looking for new friends, but they find her: charming, handsome Armin, the only guy patient enough to work through her thorny defenses-and fiery, filterless Blythe, the bad girl and partner in crime who becomes closer than a sister. ![]() College is her chance to start with a clean slate. If Laney could erase that whole year, she would. Mentally ill, messed up, so messed up even her own mom decided she wasn't worth sticking around for. It began with one moment of weakness, one stupid gesture for a hopeless crush.
