From the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1956 to the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968, these are the peeople who fought the epic battle: Rosa Parks, Andrew Young, Ralph Abernathy, Hosea Williams, Fannie Lou Hamer, and others, both black and white, who participated in sit-ins, Freedom Rides, voter drives, and campaigns for school and university integration. Here are the voices of leaders and followers, of ordinary people who became extraordinary in the face of turmoil and violence. The almost unfathomable courage and the undying faith that propelled the Civil Rights Movement are brilliantly captured in these moving personal recollections. ![]()

Loved, loved, loved! This sat on my TBR for way too long (I had both the print copy and the audio, so I have no idea what I was waiting for-not to mention, that cover is gorgeous.) and once I started the audio version, I kept looking for excuses to keep listening-more baking, dog walking, laundry folding, dish washing, heck-even house cleaning!-because I didn't want to stop. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ozma frees Dorothy and she accompanies them to the Nome King's dominions. And as the title indicates, eventually Dorothy has a rendezvous with Princess Ozma, the heroine of The Marvelous Land of Oz, who travels to Ev on a mission to free their royal family from the clutches of the Nome King. After Dorothy refuses to trade her head for one of the princess's, she imprisons Dorothy. Dorothy goes to the castle of Princess Langwidere for assistance, a narcissist who collects heads and switches them with her own at will. After being hounded by the Wheelers, a people with wheels instead of hands and feet, Dorothy discovers the clockwork robot Tik-Tok, who helps clear away the Wheelers. ![]() Dorothy and Billina the chicken eventually drift to land, where they find themselves not in Oz, but in the similarly strange and wonderful Land of Ev. Dorothy is adrift at sea in her chicken coop, along with a chicken, who starts to talk. Dorothy wanders on deck when she shouldn't and winds up being blown overboard in a storm-luckily for her, along with a chicken coop that was tied to the deck. In this story, Dorothy and her Uncle Henry have taken a ship to Australia to visit some relations.

The explanations would be hilarious in their complexity, if not for the implied question: who is not to blame? The people of Australia wait the 7 or 8 months for the radioactivity to drift southwards. Some kind of complicated mix-up happened, and nuclear war has devastated the Northern Hemisphere. The small accommodations and rationalizations all go on, the same that brought us to Shute's beach, and the same that let us meekly wave goodbye. Palpable despair makes the book unforgettable, if only in what it says about us as a race. The reader rebels, wants out of the trap, but Shute is relentless. On the Beach has no particular level of suspense, no thrills, and only one, inevitable way to close. Would the countries of 1963 (the time period the novel is set in) really have nuked the hell out of each other for no sane reason? Shute the prophet and Shute the writer of thrillers co-exist uneasily, and the result is both close to reality (Cuban Missile Crisis anyone? India-Pakistan?) and the purest stuff of nightmares. ![]() The book infuriates the reader with its insistence on the mundane, the almost hallucinatory day-to-day tedium of living with the end of the human race. On the Beach is a surreal journey into the darkness of the Nuclear Age.

In Gathering Blue, the female protagonist Kira, is assigned the weaver of the future, and in the community people are independent and some are even left for dead, they do follow the rules even during desperate times because if not they would be sent to the field to be taken away from the beasts. ![]() In The Giver, the male protagonist Jonas, is selected for a job where he has the power to relive the past and in the community, everybody is taught to follow the rules and isn’t allow to brag, complain, or violate the rules or else they will be released or killed. A dystopian community, is a community where a perfect society is built through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control. In both dystopian stories, Gathering Blue and The Giver, Lois Lowry clearly captures how the citizens of the community has a fear for the outside world, but in The Giver the way they control the community is more efficient and organized, while in Gathering Blue they are more messy and heartless. ![]() ![]() For how is it possible that the faculty of cognition should be awakened into exercise otherwise than by means of objects which affect our senses, and partly of themselves produce representations, partly rouse our powers of understanding into activity, to compare, to connect, or to separate these, and so to convert the raw material of our sensuous impressions into a knowledge of objects, which is called experience?
