Love has been the lead singer of the group one of its principal lyricists since its inception in 1961. But she was someone whom I knew I could trust implicitly, who would love me unconditionally, no matter what. I had said something she could not say back, something that I could not take back, something that she didn’t quite understand. I could tell she was taken aback by my declaration. And when we found ourselves in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, watching the sun set over the Agafay Desert, I told her as much: ‘You are the greatest love of my life,’ I said. I considered her to be one of my greatest loves. She had access to parts of me that nobody else had ever had. Her heart, and soul, belonged in London and, until Covid forced her return, she had lived there on and off for the past five years. She had known my husband since they were children, their mothers being incredibly close friends-both had migrated to Australia from Colombia.

Alexander Masters, aged 86 years, of Belmont, Ohio, died at the Ohio Valley General hospital on Monday afternoon at 2:18 o'clock, just about two hours after he entered the hospital. The Northern Lights offers a brilliant account of the physics behind the aurora borealis and a rare look inside the mind of one of history's most visionary scientists. Although ultimately vindicated, his theories were unheralded-and his hopes for the Nobel Prize scuttled-at the time of his suspicious death in 1917. In the face of rebuke by the scientific establishment, sabotage by a jealous rival, and his own battles with depression and paranoia, Birkeland remained steadfast. His pursuit took him to some of the most forbidding landscapes on earth, from the remote snowcapped mountains of Norway to the war-torn deserts of Africa. Science, biography, and arctic exploration coverage in this extraordinary true story of the life and work of Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland, the troubled genius who solved the mysteries of one of nature’s most spectacular displays.Ĭaptivated by the otherworldly lights of the aurora borealis, Birkeland embarked on a lifelong quest to discover their cause. Written in journal form, the novel begins: “Tonight a man found Dad’s pants in a tree that was lit with still-hanging Christmas lights.” This is the first entry by 29-year-old Ruth Young, home for the holidays in Southern California, after having been dumped by her boyfriend. And yet in her first novel, “Goodbye, Vitamin,” San Francisco author Rachel Khong has managed to create an Alzheimer’s novel that is heartbreaking but also funny, offering a fresh take on the disease and possible outcomes both for the people suffering from it and their caretakers. In any good story, a character must change, and this disease often appears to bring about a total overhaul of the person suffering from it, as they lose their memories, which add up to create a sense of self, as well as their knowledge of the people surrounding them, even people they once loved. Alzheimer’s is a big thing these days - not only the disease, which appears to be on the rise, but also as a trope in fiction. Unlike previous biographies, which portray her as a naïve victim of an ambitious family, Gareth Russell’s “excellent account puts the oft-ignored Catherine in her proper historical context” ( Daily Mail, London) and sheds new light on her rise and downfall by showing her in her context, a milieu that includes the aristocrats and, most critically, the servants who surrounded her and who, in the end, conspired against her. The broad outlines of Catherine’s career might be familiar, but her story up until now has been incomplete. Sixteen months later, she would follow her cousin Anne Boleyn to the scaffold, having been convicted of adultery and high treason. On the morning of July 28, 1540, a teenager named Catherine Howard began her reign as queen of an England simmering with rebellion and terrifying uncertainty. Written with an exciting combination of narrative flair and historical authority, this biography of Henry VIII’s fifth wife, Catherine Howard, is “a stunning achievement” ( The Sunday Times, London), and “a masterly work of Tudor history that is engrossing, sympathetic, suspenseful, and illuminating” (Charlotte Gordon, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography). It’s chilly enough out for her mink coat and Manhattan is grittier now-her son keeps warning her about a subway vigilante on the prowl-but the quick-tongued poetess has never been one to scare easily. Now it’s the last night of 1984 and Lillian, 85 years old but just as sharp and savvy as ever, is on her way to a party. It was a job that, she says, “in some ways saved my life, and in other ways ruined it.” Macy’s to become the highest paid advertising woman in the country. She took 1930s New York by storm, working her way up writing copy for R.H. “In my reckless and undiscouraged youth,” Lillian Boxfish writes, “I worked in a walnut-paneled office thirteen floors above West Thirty-Fifth Street…” A love letter to city life in all its guts and grandeur, Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney paints a portrait of a remarkable woman across the canvas of a changing America: from the Jazz Age to the onset of the AIDS epidemic the Great Depression to the birth of hip-hop. The play opened in Paris at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin on 25 November 1882, and achieved a financially successful run of 97 performances. The play is deeply influenced by Verne's own Voyages Extraordinaires series and includes characters and themes from some of his most famous novels, including Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and From the Earth to the Moon. A stage spectacular in the féerie tradition, the play follows the adventures of a young man who, with the help of a magic potion and a varied assortment of friends and advisers, makes impossible voyages to the center of the Earth, the bottom of the sea, and a distant planet. Journey Through the Impossible ( French: Voyage à travers l'impossible) is an 1882 fantasy play written by Jules Verne, with the collaboration of Adolphe d'Ennery.
