As the noted British economist Lord Richard Layard declared not long ago, “Happiness should become the goal of policy, and the progress of national happiness should be measured and analyzed as closely as the growth of GNP.” Works of self-help psychology line the shelves of the country’s bookstores, “happiness studies” thrives as an academic discipline, and politicians and policymakers - both Labour and Tory - are pushing to make happiness a central issue of statecraft. He was drawing attention to his country’s current, and apparently all-consuming, interest in happiness. “You can’t move in Britain for people trying to make you happy,” complained a British journalist recently in the pages of the Guardian. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seriously, if the setting only came up for a few pages in a book, I’d be pleased. It’s about a technological revolution, BUT for fifty sweet, sweet pages, Rue and White are studying their powers together in a sort of boarding school, complete with Yule Ball-esque dance sequence. I used to hate it in Harry Potter when he had to go and battle evil, because it took him away from studying.(That sounds super geeky, but if I got to study potion making and transfiguration, I wouldn’t leave the library!) A whole set of books from Hermione’s perspective would be absolute heaven! But Fearsome Dreamer’s main plot point isn’t about magic school. I always loved any section on the curriculum – it’s so different from anything I’ll ever get to do. The School For Good and Evil is The Best, because it combines boarding schools and fairy tales, which is downright perfect for me. New Girl was about four friends navigating their teenage lives, Ottoline seeks to find her hidden talent and Jodie…well, she gets up to some mischief. ![]() Jude’s series, My Sister Jodie and Ottoline Goes To School. Why all these books are purple, I don’t know. The origin of my love comes from the Secrets at St. Books set in boarding schools are usually fantasy or contemporary and I really like how the setting is so adaptable to any genre. One of the main criteria for a book to be part of my favourites list is for it to be set in a boarding school. It’s my favourite setting to read about, probably because it’s so unusual, and on the surface, seems fun. ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite this unfortunate turn of events, she still maintains a kind heart. As she can't afford to pay the rent, she gets kicked out of her apartment by the debt collectors and is now homeless. Instead, she must cope with the fact that her father, who is a constant gambler, has accumulated a bunch of gambling debts in her name.

For two to three hours, Rickover asked Carter about strategy, tactics, physics, literature, and history. He interviewed every single candidate for the submarine service himself, including the future president. In 1952, Jimmy Carter secured the opportunity of a lifetime: an interview with Admiral Hyman Rickover for a chance to join the nuclear submarine program.Īdmiral Rickover, the father of the nuclear Navy, was not just one of history’s most brilliant minds, he was also one of history’s most hands-on leaders. ![]() ![]() ![]() If this was one of the main criticisms Christopher Tolkien was referring to, it may simply be a misunderstanding of adaptation and the needs of the source material on the page versus the big screen. It's clear he plotted any changes to the novel with a great deal of consideration and deliberation. Jackson explained his decision-making regarding Helm's Deep in the behind-the-scenes DVD extras. For film, however, this added an extra bit of drama to a battle that needed to carry the weight of a climax. ![]() The Elves never showed up to Rohan's aid during the battle of Helm's Deep in the original text. And Jackson even featured specific details from those scenes in his films, such as the heads of Gondorian soldiers being flung over the walls of Minas Tirith during the Battle of Pelennor Fields. ![]() Anyone who's read The Lord of the Rings books knows that there are intense battle scenes. ![]() ![]() ![]() For ten months the ice-moored Endurance drifted northwest before it was finally crushed. In January 1915, after battling its way for six weeks through a thousand miles of pack ice and now only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. "Bound for Antarctica, where polar explorer Ernest Shackleton planned to cross on foot the last uncharted continent, the Endurance set sail from England in August 1914. This astonishing tale of survival by Shackleton and all twenty- seven of his men for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas, as Time magazine put it, "defined heroism." Alfred Lansing's brilliantly narrated book has long been acknowledged as the definitive account of the Endurance's fateful trip". It would end only after a near- miraculous journey by Shackleton and a skeleton crew through over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization. But for Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men the ordeal had barely begun. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
