![]() ![]() Looking at situations from that angle he therefore sees the blind as a waste of resources and this dictates his responses towards other survivors he comes across. Beadley is on the polar opposite of this moral spectrum seeing survival as the highest objective that he must strive to achieve. This code both defines him and dictates his actions. Bill works to rescue the blind, assisting them when he can because he still adheres to his moral code. All the characters at one point or another struggle between the striving to maintain a degree of human morality and/or deciding to cast aside established moral norms for the sake of survival. It is this dynamic between the two seemingly diametrically opposed concepts that moves the characters and drives the story forward. This is the novel's main theme and this can be seen on throughout the narrative.

The first edition of Andrew Mortons book titled Diana: Her True Story sold over 5 million copies when published in 1992.

Can they stop when people are getting hurt because of it? On the other hand, the girls have upped their revenge game, and now lives are at stake. It just left me puzzled and confused because things didn’t seem to match with the first book. I don’t understand why the authors decided to ruin a perfectly balanced, though a little cliché book by adding weird, absurd elements in it. They were too subtle to notice in Burn for Burn but in this book, they have grown stronger, and the logic behind it is so absurd that I wanted to close this book right there and then. Like I had already mentioned, there were some supernatural elements in the first book. When things don’t go as they planned on homecoming, they must delve deeper into their evil selves to get revenge because Reeve and Rennie are no better than they were before.

Each subsequent chapter explains one of the key habits. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People begins with a foundational set of chapters to introduce core concepts that the author will employ throughout the rest of the book. Both The Spiritual Roots of Human Relations (1970) and The Divine Center (1982), two of his earliest books, can be viewed as precursors to his seven habits. Because Covey was a practicing Mormon, his religious beliefs inform much of his work. Covey Senior polished his original theory, culminating in The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness (2004). His son Sean wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (2003). In addition to inspirational flashcards and workbooks to reinforce the core principles of the book, Covey also wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families (1997) and Living the 7 Habits (2000). ![]() Many of his subsequent books expand on themes introduced in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

The Perfect Weapon is the riveting story of how, in less than a decade, cyberwarfare displaced terrorism and nuclear attacks as the greatest threat to international security.Ĭheap to acquire, difficult to defend against, and designed to shield their user's identities so as to complicate retaliation, these weapons are capable of an unprecedented range of offensive tactics they can take us just short of war, allowing for everything from disruption to theft to the cause of widespread damage of essential infrastructure systems. Behind the Russian cyber-attacks that may have thrown the 2016 US election, behind the Sony hack, behind mysterious power outages around the world and the disappearance of thousands of personnel records from poorly guarded government servers are the traces of a new and powerful weapon - one that has the potential to remake global conflict like nothing since the invention of the atomic bomb. ![]() ![]() It’s a charming and uplifting story that I’m sure young fans will want to hear over and over again. “Starry’s adventures with her new goat neighbor, Luna (who becomes a friend) validate a child reader who may be experiencing uncomfortable and scary changes in their own life. ~ Nicole, Elementary School Counselor and Mom of Three This is a must have for anyone who cares for young children.” Fox’s love for children and intuitive nature shines once again in Starry’s New Friend.

It shows that the true power lies in the background, that the light dark contrast of good and evil is the all controlling entity, that the stereotypical action heroes are just puppets of the true masters in the background, kind of politicians and media in the real world, and that the good ones can never reach the coolness and badassery of evil. ![]() Switching into unknown and different antagonist perspectives has never been that much fun. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the tenth book in the Discworld series, as well as in my viewpoint, one of the very best, together with Mort, which was amusing.

I’m planning to include segments on horror movies, novels, and video games as well. Going forward, this show will be dedicated to horror gaming, meaning Ravenloft and Call of Cthulhu to start, but hopefully branching off into other games like Vampire and Alien RPG in the future. Therefore, I’ve decided to take this show in a new direction. Since I took over that podcast, creating more Dragonlance content here seems a bit redundant.
