Synopsis

In the heart of England's turbulent Tudor era, a young woman ascends to the throne, inheriting a kingdom divided by religious strife and foreign threats. Elizabeth I, the last of the Tudor monarchs, embarks on a remarkable journey of queenship, transforming England into a beacon of power and prosperity.

From the shadows of illegitimacy and political intrigue, Elizabeth emerges as a formidable ruler, navigating the treacherous waters of courtly politics and international diplomacy. With wit and determination, she outmaneuvers her enemies, both at home and abroad, securing her throne and the future of her nation.

As Elizabeth's reign unfolds, England undergoes a profound transformation. The Protestant Reformation takes root, shaping the religious landscape of the country. The defeat of the mighty Spanish Armada cements England's status as a maritime superpower. And a golden age of literature and the arts flourishes, fueled by the brilliance of Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Spenser.

But beneath the grandeur and splendor of the Elizabethan Era lies a web of personal struggles and hidden desires. Elizabeth's heart yearns for love and companionship, yet she remains steadfast in her devotion to her country, sacrificing her own happiness for the sake of her people.

This captivating novel delves into the life of Elizabeth I, shedding light on the triumphs and tribulations that shaped her reign. It is a story of power, resilience, and the enduring legacy of a queen who forever changed the course of English history.

    The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
    existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
    history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
    The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
    have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
    The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
    selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
    microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
    Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
    and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
    diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

Best read after STRINGS, BEATS, and NOCTURNES. 
    If you'd asked me to describe myself a couple weeks ago, I'd have told you I'm Letty F*cking Dillinger--The Rock in your cock, the cream in your wet dream, the spunk in your junk. 
    I had everything a girl could want: A hot rocker boyfriend, fame, a nuclear cooter, a smart phone ... The whole damn world at my feet. I worked my ass off to get where I am, and I have no regrets. 
    But everything changed when *she* exploded on the scene with the mother of atomic bombs strapped across her chest. She's beautiful, talented, and holds the key to my future--my life as I know it--in her hands. 
    I hate her. I f*cking hate her. Because she and her merry band of bitches made me do something I've never done before. They made me doubt myself. 
    Who am I? 
    I'm not sure anymore.

    Roosevelt's New Deal

    The Roosevelt New Deal was a series of domestic programs and initiatives launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after he assumed office in 1933. At the time, the United States faced one of the worst economic crises in its history, with unemployment rates exceeding 25%, banks failing, and businesses closing down. In response to this crisis, Roosevelt sought to implement a range of policies to address the immediate needs of the people and the underlying causes of the economic downturn. 
    The New Deal was based on three primary goals: relief, recovery, and reform. Relief measures aimed to provide immediate assistance to those most affected by the Great Depression, including the unemployed, farmers, and the elderly. Recovery efforts focused on restoring the economy and creating jobs. At the same time, reform measures sought to address the structural issues that had contributed to the crisis, such as the lack of financial regulation and social safety nets. 
    Some of the critical initiatives of the New Deal included the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which employed young men to work on public projects such as road building and conservation; the establishment of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which provided jobs and training to millions of unemployed workers; and the implementation of agricultural subsidies to support struggling farmers. 
    The New Deal also saw significant changes in the regulation of the financial sector, including the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank deposits and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to regulate the stock market. Other reforms included establishing social security, which provided retirement benefits to elderly Americans, and the National Labor Relations Act, which protected workers' rights to unionize.
