Pages : 370
Book Description
Unlikely pairs join forces to crack a slew of intriguing cases in an anthology edited by New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry, featuring original stories by Jacqueline Winspear, Jeffery Deaver, Allison Brennan, Charles Todd, and many more, including Perry herself. Throughout the annals of fiction, there have been many celebrated detective teams: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Nick and Nora Charles. Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings. Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. That last pair is the creation of beloved mystery writer Anne Perry, who, as the editor of Odd Partners and in conjunction with Mystery Writers of America, has enlisted some of today’s best mystery writers to craft all-new stories about unlikely duos who join forces—sometimes unwillingly—to solve beguiling whodunits. From Perry’s own entry, in which an English sergeant and his German counterpart set out to find a missing soldier during World War I, to a psychological tale of an airplane passenger who wakes up unsure of who he is and must enlist his fellow passengers to help him remember, to a historical mystery about a misguided witch-hunt and the unlikely couple that brings it down, each story deals in the wonderful complexities of human interactions. And not just human interactions: Honey bees avenge the death of their beekeeper, a wandering cat brings home clues to a murder, and a gray wolf and a fly fisherman in the Minnesota woods try to protect their land from a brash billionaire. Featuring work by New York Times bestselling authors, Edgar Award winners, and up-and-coming members of the Mystery Writers of America, these tales of friends, enemies, and pairs who lie somewhere in the middle will satisfy every type of mystery reader. With each author’s signature brand of suspense, these stories give new meaning to the word “teamwork.” Featuring stories by: Ace Atkins • Allison Brennan • Shelley Costa • Jeffery Deaver • Robert Dugoni • William Frank • Georgia Jeffries • Lou Kemp • William Kent Krueger • Joe R. Lansdale • Lisa Morton • Claire Ortalda • Anne Perry • Adele Polomski • Stephen Ross • Mark Thielman • Charles Todd • Jacqueline Winspear • Amanda Witt

Strange Natures
Author: Nicole Seymour
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252094875
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
In Strange Natures, Nicole Seymour investigates the ways in which contemporary queer fictions offer insight on environmental issues through their performance of a specifically queer understanding of nature, the nonhuman, and environmental degradation. By drawing upon queer theory and ecocriticism, Seymour examines how contemporary queer fictions extend their critique of "natural" categories of gender and sexuality to the nonhuman natural world, thus constructing a queer environmentalism. Seymour's thoughtful analyses of works such as Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues, Todd Haynes's Safe, and Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain illustrate how homophobia, classism, racism, sexism, and xenophobia inform dominant views of the environment and help to justify its exploitation. Calling for a queer environmental ethics, she delineates the discourses that have worked to prevent such an ethics and argues for a concept of queerness that is attuned to environmentalism's urgent futurity, and an environmentalism that is attuned to queer sensibilities.

Life is Strange #2.3

Publisher: Titan Comics

Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
With Max’s help, Tristan was able to use his powers to phase through the Transect and find Chloe in the original timeline. However, he was exhausted and struggled to use his powers again. Chloe, full of renewed hope, told him not to be so hard on himself. In a rare moment of privacy, Rachel confronted Max about her relationship with her Chloe, which Max had kept secret. Rachel apologized to Max for feeling like she had to hide it, and that Max made her and Chloe better people. In the new timeline, Chloe, Max, and Rachel arrived at Tombstone – a Western re-enactment town in El Paso – dressed as Captain Bluebeard and her crew. The trio were unaware that – in the other timeline – Chloe, Tristan and the High Seas had also arrived in Tombstone. However, rather than dress up in their own pirate outfits, they rented cowboy costumes instead. As Chloe admired herself in the costume-shop mirror, she was taken by surprise when her reflection became a window into the alternate timeline! Chloe ran into Victoria, who was playing the role of Ophelia in her timeline’s production of Hamlet. The two caught up over a coffee and Victoria seemed to have left her Queen Bee and Blackwell Academy days behind her. Meanwhile, across the timelines, a water gun fight broke out in the streets of Tombstone and it was everyone for themselves! As Max lived a brand-new pirate adventure, she felt closer to Chloe, and to her home, than ever.

Strange Networks
Author: Thom Mayne
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 0847869415
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
An exquisitely crafted, large format volume featuring new and previously unpublished artwork by legendary architect Thom Mayne, principal of Morphosis Architects. Strange Networks debuts a new body of artwork and studies by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne. Emerging from the same interests that shape the design philosophy of his internationally renowned architecture firm Morphosis, the works explore the tension between organizational systems and chance behavior, between the manual and digital, and between individual and collective authorship. Reproduced in exquisite detail, the intricate lithographic prints and digitally derived sculptural works--or "drawdels" for how they combine the notion of drawing and modelling--embody a search for forms and methods resonant with our contemporary state of instability and hyper-connection. With a foreword by Thom Mayne and essays by Stefano Casciani, Sir Peter Cook, Craig Hodgetts, and Frédéric Migayrou.
