![]() ![]() ![]() Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun.All it will take to save the Earth and perhaps all of humanity is for them to get it to Sol - unless the Others arrive first. All These Worlds : Dennis E Taylor:Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency:Bobiverse 3::280:USD 10.99:: Bobiverse Series ISBN:9781680680607 : A couple of eighth-generation Bobs have found something out in deep space. ![]() Yet salvation may come from an unlikely source. But the Bobs are less disciplined than a herd of cats, and some of the younger copies are more concerned with their own local problems than defeating the Others. There are plans for additional entries into the series, including a novel focusing on Howard and Bridget. The series currently consists of three books: We are Legion (We are Bob), For We Are Many and All These Worlds. Still stinging from getting their collective butts kicked in their first encounter with the Others, the Bobs now face the prospect of a decisive final battle to defend Earth and its colonies. Bobiverse is the sci-fi book series written by Dennis E. ![]() And the Bobs have picked a fight with an older, more powerful species with a large appetite and a short temper. But political squabbles have a bad habit of dying hard, and the Brazilian probes are still trying to take out the competition. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Translation – especially of poetry – is notoriously thorny. ![]() That another translation has just been published is a clear sign of its enduring popularity, and it offers a new opportunity for English readers to develop their own interpretations. For example, for some in the medieval period, the poem could be read as a Christian allegory. There are, as Bartsch elaborates in her thoughtful introduction, other readings of the Latin epic. One early commentary written in the 4th or 5th century remarks that Virgil’s aim is to praise Augustus by praising his ancestors: their shared pietas is one element that could lead to such an interpretation. It is easy to why such statements would appeal to the Romans, and centuries later the text still had nationalistic appeal, as reflected by the inclusion of Pater Aeneas (‘Father Aeneas’) in Mussolini’s 1937-1938 exhibition celebrating 2,000 years since the birth of Augustus.Īugustus had a public persona of pietas (‘piety’), and it is this concept that is closely attached to his heroic ancestor Aeneas throughout the poem: Aeneas is often described as pius (translated as ‘pious’), referring to a range of duties and devotion to one’s family, country, and gods. In the first book of the poem, Jupiter says of the Romans, as Shadi Bartsch, Professor of Classics at the University of Chicago, puts it in her new translation, ‘On them I set no boundaries of time or space:/I’ve granted empire without end’. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Miller’s next major project was the following year writing for a run of Batman issues collectively named Batman: Year One, which detailed Batman’s first experiences in fighting crime as he built a relationship with young policeman Jim Gordon. The story culminates in a battle between Batman and Superman – the purest superhero of all. He comes out of retirement to face a much darker Gotham City where he is joined by female Robin, Carrie Kelly. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns features a 60-year old Bruce Wayne who has not worn the costume of Batman for the ten years since Robin was murdered by the Joker. Four years later, DC Comics released what would become one of Miller’s greatest achievements. In 1982, Miller created the story and artwork for Wolverine’s solo debut in Wolverine #1. Within one of the first issues in which Miller wrote Daredevil, he introduced a character of his own creation – Elektra. Just over a year later Miller was given complete control over writing and drawing Daredevil. In 1979, 22-year-old Frank Miller began drawing for Marvel’s bi-monthly Daredevil comic book. ![]() Home > Artists > Frank Miller Frank Miller Born: JanuBiographyįrank Miller is regarded as one of the most influential and awarded professionals in the entertainment industry today, known for his intense, hard-boiled storytelling and gritty noir aesthetic across comics, graphic novels, and film. ![]() ![]() ![]() In his quest to change India, Gandhi had no power and the ruling hierarchy had immense power. Sometimes obstacles can be made to defeat themselves. Leaders and innovators find a way around, over, or through the obstacle, often achieving greater success than they would have otherwise. When faced with an obstacle, many people might quit, or spend energy complaining about it. Rather than passively enduring suffering, a true Stoic evaluates the situation in a realistic and pragmatic way, then attempts to solve the problem. ![]() ![]() Holiday explains that while the Stoic philosophy does indeed discourage pointless displays of potentially distracting emotion, it is, in fact action and results-oriented. In popular English usage, "stoic" has taken on the meaning of being without emotion, or even passive. (Don't worry, references to dead languages are hard to find in Obstacle.) They called it premeditatio malorum, or premeditation of evils. Members suggest reasons for failure, with the hope that by enumerating them at the start they can be avoided.Īlthough the practice of conducting a premortem meeting seems like a recent innovation, Holiday points out that this concept dates back to the stoics. It dives into the "premortem" concept - before you roll out a campaign or project, the responsible group meets to discuss why it failed. ![]() CMOs and business leaders of all types will find the chapter titled, "Anticipation (Thinking Negatively)," relevant. ![]() ![]() ![]() She currently lives in Finland with her two big fluffy dogs. 1, the imprint expects to publish 24 popular Webtoon titles a year to make them available on physical bookshelves.Įmma Krogell is the author and artist behind the popular werewolf webtoon.
