Hercules proves that being the first superhero doesn’t necessarily make you the best, nor the most enduring. Still Going Strong sets out to make the case that Hercules is still relevant and instead left me unconvinced. Luke Ross’s art is decent and polished but is very much Marvel house style which isn’t the most unique look and doesn’t help this title stand out. It’s just not terribly interesting to read a strongman character punching big monsters, which is largely what this is. There’s some amusing banter between Herc and Gilgamesh (aka Gil) who’s crashing with Herc while he’s down in the dumps, and the story is coherent. Want to read a comic where Herc punches mythical Greek creatures in a contemporary setting? This is the book for you! To be fair to Dan Abnett, he doesn’t do a terrible job. Shame that change doesn’t make him any more interesting to readers! New gods called The Uprising Storm are fighting old gods and Herc’s gotta put these young whippersnappers in their place to prove that the olds are classics for a reason… zzz…. Hercules wants to be taken seriously as a hero so he’s given up the sauce. This is a book for children of all ages that will nurture a lifelong love of learning. Any young child - and parent - will benefit from sharing this wondrous book together." - Daniel Goleman, author of the #1 bestseller Emotional Intelligence "What an enchanting children's book - beautiful to look at, charming to read, and with a theme that wonderers of all ages should appreciate." - Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works " I Wonder captures the beauty of life and the mystery of our world, sweeping child and adult into a powerful journey of discovery. Annaka Harris has woven a beautiful tapestry of art, storytelling, and profound wisdom. " I Wonder offers crucial lessons in emotional intelligence, starting with being secure in the face of uncertainty. Michael Crichton (who wrote both the books) used it intentionally as a tribute to Conan Doyle's classic and even included a character named "Roxton" in the book. Oh, as to Spielberg "stealing the title" for his sequel to Jurassic Park.he didn't. Rider Haggard's KING SOLOMON'S MINES either but we have managed to put up with Anna Lee and Deborah Kerr and Sharon Stone in the various film adaptations of THAT-it's just one of those Hollywood things-throw in a girl to spice it up. Not sure what Bessie Love is doing in this (there is no girl in the book. Pretty faithful to the novel.Wallace Beery (forever famous as Long John Silver in 1934's classic adaptation of TREASURE ISLAND-a film in which he ALSO co-stars with Lewis Stone who was Nayland Smith to Karloff's Fu Manchu and Dad to Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy.and just to give us another connection to Sherlock Holmes you'll see Nigel Bruce-Rathbone's Watson-as Squire Trelawney in that film as well) and where WAS I? Oh yeah.Wallace Beery.pretty good here as Professor Challenger. Journalist Edward Malone, rejected by the woman he loves because he is too prosaic, decides to go in search of adventure and fame to prove himself worthy of her. OK.so this is the silent version of the Conan Doyle novel (same guy that created Sherlock Holmes). The Lost World Arthur Conan Doyle 3.93 64,216 ratings2,878 reviews It's London, 1907. Anna is sure that clues reside in the thousands of snapshots the dead woman took-photos that show signs of having been rifled through. Her superiors discourage her from probing further, but another supposedly accidental death goads her into investigating Sheila's activities before her death-her campaign to open up the park to the public and her relationships with a young divorcee and with a powerful rancher opposed to Park Service policies. Although an autopsy confirms this judgment, Anna becomes convinced that the claw marks have been faked. There she finds the remains of fellow ranger Sheila Drury, who apparently was clawed to death by a mountain lion. Anna Pigeon has fled New York City after the accidental death of her husband, and she now works as a law enforcement ranger at Guadaloupe Mountains National Park. The texture, scents and sounds of the West Texas wilderness permeate this forceful debut, in which the murder of a National Park Service ranger illuminates the conflicts between those who want to place our country's open spaces and wildlife under government protection and those who want to profit from them. Non-clinical health professionals and those working in the insurance and legal fields will find this guide to be useful as a point of reference for understanding the importance and impact of the death certificate. As an essential component to the comprehensive care of the patient, this guide will also serve as an indispensable tool for medical educators and aid clinicians in fulfilling continuing educational requirements. This text will fill the gap of knowledge pertaining to death reporting and death certification while highlighting the vital link between the practice of clinical medicine and the practice of forensic pathology. Written from the perspective of an experienced forensic pathologist, Essentials of Death Reporting and Death Certification-Practical Applications for the Clinical Practitioner is created especially for those in clinical practice who will inevitably experience the death of a patient.
