The Handmaid's Tale
Author: Margaret Atwood
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 0771008791
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark
Author: Mary Janigan
Publisher: Knopf Canada
ISBN: 0307400646
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
The oil sands. Global warming. The National Energy Program. Though these seem like modern Canadian subjects, author Mary Janigan reveals them to be a legacy of longstanding regional rivalry. Something of a "Third Solitude" since entering Confederation, the West has long been overshadowed by Canada's other great national debate: but as the conflict over natural resources and their effect on climate change heats up, 150 years of antipathy are coming to a head. Janigan takes readers back to a pivotal moment in 1918, when Canada's western premiers descended on Ottawa determined to control their own future--and as Margaret MacMillan did in Paris 1919, she deftly illustrates how the results reverberate to this day.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This book is a social and political commentary on America's most pressing problems in the first quarter of the 21st Century. It is written for the author's grandchildren of 50-100 years hence. They will never be able to find many of the details and minutiae of this decade. Knowledge and experience benefit future generations. Most people experience a time in their lives when they wish they knew more about their ancestors. In the past it was excusable because the means of obtaining that information was difficult. Modern technology means this generation has no excuse for ignoring their history. Illegitimi Non Carborundum relates current events to fascinating solutions. The federal budget can be balanced, prison populations can be reduced by half, and welfare rolls can be reduced or eliminated. Present leaders cannot think beyond the box. We can create innovative and original solutions with positive ideas. Asking important questions and condemning the ignorance of leaders who seek office but fail to lead is vital to today's issues. If you want to be one of those rare people who is not politically or socially bound to the present trend of pious correctness, this book will raise your consciousness and either make you applaud or fiercely condemn. There is plenty of blame to go around, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. This is the book with solutions that will turn America around.

Skeen's Return
Author: Jo Clayton
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504038460
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Trapped in an alternate dimension, the tough and self-confident Skeen confronts slavers, monsters, and alien assassins in a fast-paced space adventure. Skeen is back! Sexy space pilot and larcenous scoundrel—a tomb raider who could give Lara Croft a serious run for her money—the tough, cunning, and seductive master thief takes on a series of Herculean trials in her attempts to escape an alternate dimension in a witty and wonderful hybrid of science fiction and fantasy, space opera and quest adventure, that will enthrall fans of Andre Norton, Anne McCaffrey, and Alan Dean Foster. A fugitive “rooner” wanted by law enforcers throughout the known universe, Skeen has grit, cunning, and a closet full of more skeletons than a suburban cemetery. Now, the intergalactic outlaw is stuck in a dimension that is not her own, surrounded by a small mob of new friends and followers representing the eight different races that inadvertently stumbled into Mistommerk over the centuries. Each member of the motley entourage shares the same goal: to find a way out through the elusive Stranger’s Gate. Their road to a possible exit is twisted and dangerous, with all sorts of nastiness waiting around every turn, from hired killers to bizarre ravenous beasts to the terrible shape-shifting Sea Min. Skeen is proving to be a most wily, brave, and determined, if reluctant, leader. But with a confusing plethora of portals leading to numerous strange dimensions and worlds overlapping other worlds, she may be hard pressed to find the right way back—even if she does somehow manage to survive. A masterwork of ingenious world-building and wild invention, beloved science fiction author Jo Clayton’s Skeen’s Return is a welcome return to the delightfully bizarre universe and alien life-forms so brilliantly imagined in Skeen’s Leap, the first volume in an enthralling trilogy featuring one of the most endearingly outrageous heroines in contemporary speculative fiction.
