6/29/2023 0 Comments North and south trilogy books1 within four weeks on February 28, 1982. All three novels debuted on The New York Times Best Seller list, with North and South reaching No. The trilogy was completed with Heaven and Hell in 1987. The first novel, North and South, was published in 1982, and was followed by Love and War in 1984. The slave-owning Mains are rural gentleman planters while the big-city Hazards live by manufacturing and industry, their differences reflecting the real divisions between North and South which ultimately led to war. The saga tells the story of the enduring friendship between Orry Main of South Carolina and George Hazard of Pennsylvania, who become best friends while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point but later find themselves and their families on opposite sides of the war. North and South is a 1980s trilogy of best-selling novels by John Jakes which take place before, during, and after the American Civil War. 6/29/2023 0 Comments The secret barrister reviewAnd, among this number, as it happened, was Rio. Nearly 15 per cent of remanded prisoners are acquitted or not proceeded against. This is the position in which roughly one in seven remanded defedants – over 67,000 people in 2016 – find themselves. And, try as I might, I cannot accept that the arguments in favour withstand the slightest scrutiny. This hangover of thirteenth-century parochial peace-keeping, far from being gently put out to pasture, is re-engineered as our turbocharged, armoured vehicle of justice for the new millennium. Magistrates, and the quality of justice that their courts engender, are very much The Future. In twenty-first-century criminal litigation where liberty is on the line, matters of law, not just fact, are decided by volunteers armed with absolutely no formal legal knowledge or training 6/29/2023 0 Comments A History of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire 2 Volume Pape... by Anthony R. DisneyWith no geographical raison dêtre and no obvious roots in its Roman, Germanic, or Islamic pasts, it for long remained a small, struggling realm on Europes outer fringe. The Kingdom of Portugal was created as a by-product of the Christian Reconquest of Hispania. The stories of the colonization of Morocco, the Atlantic islands, and the West African coast were, predictably, the most interesting. Sinopsis de A HISTORY OF PORTUGAL AND THE PORTUGUESE EMPIRE VOL. Trade with the metropole clearly counted for little past the 16th century (with the obvious and huge exception of Brazil.) The empire was clearly maintained - especially past its prime - by trade between its feitoria and other colonial feitoria or, more commonly, trade with non-Europeans. The creation of Afro/Indian/Asian-Portuguese communities across the empire was fascinating. The Portuguese clearly did not have any Anglo-Saxon scruples about races intermingling. But it remains an interesting story nonetheless. I would have appreciated some higher-level analysis of how this small country was able to project power over thousands of miles with a handful of carracks. The ability of the Portuguese to project power in such a shoestring manner was astonishing - only a few ships annually tied the metropole to Goa, for example. The speed with which the 16th century empire was created by Da Gama, Almeida, and Albuquerque was genuinely impressive, especially given the distance and technology involved. Thing to remember/Things I found surprising: Definitely the more interesting of the two entries in the series - Portugal's influence outside Europe being so much greater than within it. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Tara m stringfellowHalf a century earlier, Joan’s grandfather built this majestic house in the historic Black neighborhood of Douglass-only to be lynched days after becoming the first Black detective in the city.

In “Flood of Fire,” the trilogy’s sprawling, stirring final volume, China’s determination to end the trade leads to the outbreak of the first Opium War. Driving much of the plot in both novels was the opium trade forced on China by the British East India Company. The trilogy’s first volume, “Sea of Poppies,” focused on the tumultuous 1838 journey of the British schooner Ibis “River of Smoke” followed some of the ship’s passengers after it was caught in a violent storm. In the Ibis Trilogy, Ghosh continues to explore these themes while moving away from the highly wrought style of such earlier works as “The Circle of Reason” and “The Calcutta Chromosome” to a more direct though no less complex form of narrative. Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh’s work has always been concerned with the legacy of colonialism and the global connections among people of different histories and culture. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Orange of the priory treeRepresentatives of each belief system-Queen Sabran the Ninth of Virtudom, hopeful dragon rider Tané of the East, and Ead Duryan, mage of the Priory from the South-are linked by the common goal of keeping the Nameless One trapped at any cost. “Do you not see? It is a cycle.” The one thing uniting all corners of the world is fear. They don’t believe that the Berethnet line, continued by generations of queens, is the sacred key to keeping the Nameless One at bay. There, a society of female mages called the Priory worships the Mother. In the South, an entirely different way of thinking exists. They forge a connection with humans by taking riders. These dragons channel the power of water and are said to be born of stars. In the East, dragons are worshiped as gods-but not the fire-breathing type. These events brought about the current order: Virtudom, the kingdom set up by Berethnet, is a pious society that considers all dragons evil. The leader of these creatures, the Nameless One, has been trapped in the Abyss for ages after having been severely wounded by the sword Ascalon wielded by Galian Berethnet. Here, evil takes the shape of fire-breathing dragons-beasts that feed off chaos and imbalance-set on destroying humankind. No, the Nameless One is not a new nickname for Voldemort. After 1,000 years of peace, whispers that “the Nameless One will return” ignite the spark that sets the world order aflame. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Cute mutants vol 1 mutant prideWhitby's dialogue sparkles from the page, layered with delightful snark and pop culture references.
