![]() Without the true story of what really happened-how these fundamental theories came about-we cannot fully understand their historical significance. ![]() What does it even matter? It matters, of course, because Einstein’s work and his theories of relativity, quantum theory, and atomic theory formed the foundations of contemporary physics. Who was the real Mileva Einstein-Maric, the wife of the famed physicist Albert Einstein? Trained alongside Einstein in physics and mathematics, what role did she play, if any, in the famous papers of her husband, which transformed contemporary physics? Was she an unsung contributor or even a co-author, a sounding board, the top fiddle, a glorified assistant, an unglorified housewife, the one who made it all possible? ![]()

Liked spending time with him.” If I was brutally honest with myself, I’d enjoyed the ego boost too, the way he’d seemed to look up to me, even though I was barely six years his senior. I think that was partly why he got a bit of a crush on me.” It didn’t excuse my behaviour, though. If he hadn’t been your student, it’d have been fine, right?” “So this Oliver, he was the lad I met down at your place? How old was he? Can’t have been younger than sixteen.” “I mean, I was with Crispin.” Perhaps that had been part of the attraction too-I’d known it would never go anywhere, so I’d felt safe to enjoy it. “Not that I ever even dreamed of acting upon it,” I added quickly. I’m explaining this all wrong.” I took a deep breath and stared at my sports socks, my toes sinking into Sean’s soft blue bedroom carpet. “Yeah? Doesn’t look like it from where I’m sitting.” ![]() ![]() In fact, he chooses two: Xio, the 13-year-old child of Mala Suerte, god of bad luck, and…Teo. Teo wouldn’t mind taking Aurelio down a notch or two, but a one-in-ten chance of death is a bit too close for Teo’s taste.īut then, for the first time in over a century, Sol chooses a semidiós who isn’t a Gold. He also can’t help but worry (reluctantly, and under protest) for Aurelio, a powerful Gold semidiós and Teo’s friend-turned-rival who is a shoo-in for the Trials. His best friend Niya―daughter of Tierra, the god of earth―is one of the strongest heroes of their generation and is much too likely to be chosen this year. ![]() Teo, a 17-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of Quetzal, goddess of birds, has never worried about the Trials…or rather, he’s only worried for others. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all―they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body used to fuel the Sun Stones that will protect the people of Reino del Sol for the next ten years. Ten semidioses between the ages of thirteen and eighteen are selected by Sol himself as the most worthy to compete in The Sunbearer Trials. ![]() I’m not a real hero.”Īs each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the evil Obsidian gods at bay. “Only the most powerful and honorable semidioses get chosen.

To better deal with a medieval society, "Nimue" takes a new gender and a new name, "Merlin." His formidable powers and access to caches of hidden high technology will need to be carefully concealed. Via automated recordings, "Nimue" - or, rather, the android with the memories of Lieutenant Commander Nimue Alban - is told her fate: she will emerge into Safeholdian society, suitably disguised, and begin the process of provoking the technological progress which the Church of God Awaiting has worked for centuries to prevent. This "rebirth" was set in motion centuries before, by a faction that opposed shackling humanity with a concocted religion. In a hidden chamber on Safehold, an android from the far human past awakens. ![]() But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they've built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever.Ĩ00 years pass. ![]() Humanity pushed its way to the stars - and encountered the Gbaba, a ruthless alien race that nearly wiped us out.Įarth and her colonies are now smoldering ruins, and the few survivors have fled to distant, Earth-like Safehold, to try to rebuild. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music.

Blakeslee takes readers into the snowy valley, and deep into a genuinely human tale told with the energy and verve of a best-selling thriller. That’s the question at the core of Nate Blakeslee’s new book, American Wolf: A True Story of Survival and Obsession in the West. Since the gray wolf was reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995, conservationists and tourists have clashed with ranchers and hunters over how, exactly, predators and people should coexist. Most recently, this was personified in Cliven Bundy, whose two-decade-long miniature rebellion against paying grazing fees on public lands captured headlines when it grew into an armed standoff in 2014.įew of these fights have been as long-running or as divisive as the attempts at wolf repopulation in the Lamar Valley, a remote area within Yellowstone National Park. From the near extinction of the American bison in the late 1800s to the Sagebrush Rebellion over land management in the 1970s and ’80s, the West has always been a place where people and nature come into conflict. Since Europeans first ventured across the American West - equipped with rearms and a sense of godly duty to transform what they perceived as a savage wilderness - the region has been divided by tensions between conservation and development. ![]() ![]() ![]() TolkienįINALIST FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION'S FIRST NOVEL PRIZE Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.
