With respect to geography, he argues that the US owes its economic wealth not just to its rich agricultural lands, but also the ability to transport food and other goods cheaply on the Mississippi River. Zeihan’s approach lies in assessing how geography and demographics impact a nation’s political fortunes. He breaks down his argument into six sections transportation, finance, energy, industrial materials, manufacturing, and agriculture. The bleakest prediction is around food: “ …in excess of 1 billion people will starve to death, and another 2 billion will suffer chronic malnutrition ”. With the Cold War over and an energy independent America, the superpower is no longer supporting globalization. The book lays out his thesis that the US sponsored Bretton Woods world order (“the Order” for short) is going to collapse. The End of the World is Just the Beginning is the fourth instalment from geopolitical strategist, Peter Zeihan. The End of the World is Just the Beginning Mapping the Collapse of Globalization ![]()

It did, but not in the way initially thought. Since INCOMING! #1 this past December, many speculated that Hulkling’s turn as the ruler of the Kree/Skrull alliance meant peril for the planet Earth. “If you want to learn more, the two upcoming LORDS OF EMPYRE specials will give you a little more on what makes both of them tick.” “Quoi's very gung-ho, but he's also young, and a little high on his myth - as fed to him by the Cotati Swordsman, who seems to be the power behind the throne. ![]() “We absolutely will see inner conflict,” Ewing said when asked about whether this betrayal will weigh on either of them.

Whitbread (now Costa) Book of the Year Prize in 1995, Atkinson has solidified her position as a writer of must-read historical fiction. Since the publication of her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum, which won the prestigious U.K. Transcription is one of the fall’s most anticipated books, with glowing advance reviews. Her characters, maneuvering in the 1940s and 1950s, speak directly to our time. With a complicated structure–something of a signature for Atkinson–the book highlights the cost of living in a time when no one can be sure of alliances and loyalties, and where rising nationalism threatens the world order. In the best-selling writer’s 10th novel, Transcription, an unlikely spy, Juliet Armstrong, receives an assignment that will alter her life forever. Kate Atkinson pays close attention to history–and how it repeats itself. ![]() ![]() ![]() Omprakash Valmiki’s Joothan is among the few books that have had a profound effect on my consciousness.

Then Lily is attacked in her own castle by a mysterious sorcerer known as Dreamweaver, a young man determined to conquer Gehenna using jewel-spiders, strange crystalline creatures whose bite doesn’t kill, but sends victims to sleep. Families are troubled by the returning dead, so Lily tries to incorporate them into day-to-day life, much to the resentment of the living. Zombies roam the country, some left over from those raised in SHADOW MAGIC, others awakened by Lily. The castle fills with ghosts, drawn like moths to a flame by the brightness of her magic. Lily is struggling with her growing necromantic powers. Many of the nobles believe the kidnappings to be the work of the northern trolls, raiding south for the winter, and when Baron Sable and others head off to fight them, Castle Gloom is left guarded by only the squires. People throughout Gehenna are disappearing, even the feared executioner Tyburn.
