The Man is a 1905 Victorian novel by Bram Stoker, best known for Dracula.[1] A typical Gothic novel, it features horror and romance. The Man has also been published as The Gates of Life.
An astonishing real-life whodunnit and investigative exposé, Brave New Humans reveals the uncomfortable realities of assisted reproduction and its very human fallout.Journalist Sarah Dingle was twenty-seven when she learned that her identity was a lie. Over dinner one night, her mother casually mentioned Sarah had been conceived using a sperm donor. The man who'd raised her wasn't her father; in fact, she had no idea who her father was. Or who she really was.As the shock receded, Sarah began to investigate her own existence. Thus began a ten-year journey – digging through hospital files, chasing leads and taking a DNA test – that finally led to her biological origins. What she discovered along the way was shocking: hospital records destroyed, trading of eggs and sperm, women dead, donors exploited, and hundreds of thousands of donor-conceived people who will never know who they truly are. Brave New Humans shines a light on the global fertility business today – a booming and largely unregulated industry that takes a startlingly lax approach to huge ethical concerns, not least our fundamental human need to know who we are, and where we come from. But there's one thing this industry hasn't banked on: the children of the baby business taking on their makers.‘An exceptional and personal narrative that exposes the appalling ethical standards of industry and governments worldwide.' QUENTIN DEMPSTER‘Sarah Dingle has courageously turned her journalistic skills to the secrets of her own birth, throwing a spotlight on the complicated world of donor conception.' LEIGH SALES‘Gripping. Vitally important. A quest like no other – to discover who you are!' ROBYN WILLIAMS, AO‘Superbly balances cold fury, grief and the professional focus of an experienced journalist.' NORMAN SWANZum Buch

Dark, twisted, and perfectly irresistible, it will be a must have for new and old Bunny Suicide fans alike. “Wonderfully deviant.” —The Washington Post “All this sick humor is reminiscent of Gary Larson’s The Far Side . . . . A deadly combination of funny and just naughty enough.” —Publishers WeeklyZum Buch
George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans – an ironic 'deception' given that Adam Bede, her first novel, is written unashamedly from a feminist standpoint. The story centres on a pastoral love triangle. Two young men, carpenter Adam Bede and squire Captain Arthur Donnithorne, are both in love with the mercurial Hetty Sorrel. There's a further love interest between Adam and beautiful lay preacher Dinah Morris. The setting is a country village in the north of England in the last years of the eighteenth century. The author paints a wonderful landscape of contemporary life as it really was, and excels in the portraits of her characters. Each is flawed, each has their own passions, each is unique, and through this great novel, Eliot put her stamp on literature and on the way we view the vagaries of character, helping us to see people as they really are. This is one of the greatest novels in the English language. First published in 1859, Adam Bede has never been out of print since, which speaks volumes about its timeless quality.Zum Buch
I have setup this series that includes the sci-fy version of my concept as well as the non-fictional version that followed because after completing the Book to End All Books, I realized there had to be one more book that describes the science behind my concept of creating a 2nd sun in the sky by igniting the planet Jupiter using laser technology we now know how to create a nuclear fusion reactor in the lab. But, by using this technology as well as our new-fangled rocket ships made possible by Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson as well as NASA, ESA etc, it is now a much closer reality that we can save our planet by taking our know-how into space and accomplishing something that has never been done by any other living things anywhere in the universe as far as we can tell. One this is for sure, this event puts humanity on the Astronomy maps of all other life forms around the galaxy if they are actually out there watching and measuring space as we are. This is a completely original and new idea both in fiction and non-fiction as far as I can tell. The follow-up book: ‘The Jupiter Sun – The Greatest Achievement in Human History’ – was published immediately after this one because I realized that the science that I had uncovered in this book could be accomplished by Humans, but it had to be moved up to a much faster schedule due to the urgent situation that we are in as a species. If we don't find a second source of free, clean, sustainable, renewable and infinite power and pipe it back to the Earth as well as to Mars, we could become extinction as well as cause the extinction of all other life on the Earth due to our continued addiction to fossil fuels, the source of green house gases and the destruction of our atmosphere. The other thing that should be remembered is that in the history of Science, most of the time, the big advances come not from the intentional research that is done, but by accident and serendipity.Zum Buch

The history of comics has centered almost exclusively on men. Comics historians largely describe the medium as one built by men telling tales about male protagonists, neglecting the many ways in which women fought for legitimacy on the page and in publishers' studios. Despite this male-dominated focus, women played vital roles in the early history of comics. The story of how comic books were born and how they evolved changes dramatically when women like June Tarpé Mills and Lily Renée are placed at the center rather than at the margins of this history, and when characters such as the Black Cat, Patsy Walker, and Señorita Rio are analyzed.Comic Book Women offers a feminist history of the golden age of comics, revising our understanding of how numerous genres emerged and upending narratives of how male auteurs built their careers. Considering issues of race, gender, and sexuality, the authors examine crime, horror, jungle, romance, science fiction, superhero, and Western comics to unpack the cultural and industrial consequences of how women were represented across a wide range of titles by publishers like DC, Timely, Fiction House, and others. This revisionist history reclaims the forgotten work done by women in the comics industry and reinserts female creators and characters into the canon of comics history.Zum Buch
