Sinopse

"The Black Carnation" is a crime mystery novel set in London in the nineteenth century. Marietta Mazzucata was a brilliant Opera performer, a worthy successor to Grisi and Persiani, full of fire and dramatic force, not a mere musical box, twittering like a mechanical bird. Her private life was well guarded despite talk of many a young man's broken heart being tied to her. But the façade all comes down to a shocking explosion of dynamite, during the end of a performance at the Opera. An explosion that kills the famed singer instantly. Now, however, the tragic event of her death inspires the press to find out and publish all they could about her, in which case something would be found in her past life which would probably point to a reason for the manner of her death…

    Luxuriant Environmentalism Make a huge, positive, global difference from your own home! Prioritize comfort over sacrifice while saving thousands of dollars. Explore dozens of solutions and their impacts on carbon footprint, petroleum footprint, toxic footprint, and other environmental issues. 
    If 20% of the population implemented half the solutions in this book, it would solve the biggest global problems. All without writing to politicians, joining protests, signing petitions, or being angry at the people that are causing the problems. 
    Good solutions are often different from conventional environmental wisdom. The average American adult has a carbon footprint of 30 tons per year. Replacing a petroleum car with an electric car will cut 2 tons. But if you live in a cold climate and you switch from electric heat to a rocket mass heater, you will cut 27 tons!  
    Join Paul and Shawn on a journey featuring simple alternatives that you may have never heard of — alternatives which are about building a more symbiotic relationship with nature so we can all be even lazier.Nurture nature and nature nurtures us all.
