While the army has eliminated the most dangerous of the infected, teams of civilian volunteers are tasked with clearing out a more innocuous variety-the “malfunctioning” stragglers, who exist in a catatonic state, transfixed by their former lives. Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street-aka Zone One-but pockets of plague-ridden squatters remain. Their top mission: the resettlement of Manhattan. Now the plague is receding, and Americans are busy rebuilding civilization under orders from the provisional government based in Buffalo. The plague has sorted humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. ![]() In this wry take on the post-apocalyptic horror novel, a pandemic has devastated the planet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Please check out our sister group YA LGBT Books if you are under 18.moreĪ place where all Goodreads members can work together to improve the Goodreads book catalog.

She looked into different thinkers and speakers across the United States who were discussing class in interesting and innovative ways, seeking out both locally and nationally recognized figures. “I think the speakers that we featured were dynamic and interesting and provided great reflection and introspection on having as complete an understanding as a participant could get in comprehending the different facets and components of race.”Īnderson says this year’s speakers were chosen based on their experience discussing class. “I think last year’s series went really well in that it was the first year that we did this,” says Alana Anderson, D&I director of programs. ![]() ![]() Last year’s Learn More Series focused on race in America, but the idea to focus on class this year was logical.

In ''The Blind Assassin,'' overlong and badly written, our first impressions of the dramatis personae prove not so much lasting as total. If we apply the old Forsterian standard that roundĬharacters are ones ''capable of surprising in a convincing way,'' Atwood's new novel, for all its multilayered story-within-a-story-within-a-story construction, must be judged flat as a pancake. Margaret Atwood has written a novel-within-a-novel that involves watery death and a science fiction best seller.Įarly 20 years ago, in speaking of her craft, the novelist Margaret Atwood observed that ''a character in a book who is consistently wellīehaved probably spells disaster for the book.'' She might have asserted the more general principle that consistent anything in a character can prove tedious. ![]() ![]() ![]() These hard problems are at the center of Gates’s understanding of climate change and of his helpful new book, entitled How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. As is agriculture, responsible for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse-gas pollution each year. ![]() ![]() Heating and cooling buildings, which together emit 7 percent of greenhouse-gas pollution, are another. Making concrete, for instance, causes 8 percent of the world’s carbon-dioxide pollution, and we have no way to do it cheaply in a climate-friendly way-that’s one of Gates’s hard problems. No, he means the vital processes of industrial society for which we still have no zero-carbon alternative-the as-yet-unsolved engineering problems that are key to zeroing out global greenhouse-gas pollution. Nor does he mean the associated political challenges of overcoming partisan opposition. He isn’t talking about the challenges that we usually discuss in this newsletter, such as how to generate zero-carbon electricity (use wind, solar, and some nuclear). ![]() Lately, Bill Gates has been thinking about what he calls the “hard stuff” of climate change.
