Here we spotlight three examples from our archives. ![]() about Santos, his ability to lie when the truth was readily available and the resentment such lies breed in voters. Several scholars have written for The Conversation U.S. “Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself,” said U.S. Santos surrendered to federal authorities at a courthouse in suburban Long Island on May 10. Department of Justice has charged Santos with 13 counts of criminal wrongdoing, including fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements. Now some of his alleged lies, the ones the public had not previously heard about, are the subject of a federal indictment as the U.S. representative for New York’s 3rd Congressional District has been accused of lying about his education, work history, charitable activity, athletic prowess and even where he lives, among other things.

In this ground-breaking history Elinor Cleghorn unpacks the roots of the perpetual misunderstanding, mystification and misdiagnosis of women's bodies, illness and pain. Medicine's history has always been, and is still being, rewritten by women's resistance, strength and incredible courage. But as doctors, researchers, campaigners and most of all as patients, women have continuously challenged medical orthodoxy. Over centuries, women's bodies have been demonised and demeaned until we feared them, felt ashamed of them, were humiliated by them. Medicine carries the burden of its own troubling history. ![]() ![]() The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" ( Publishers Weekly).

Hi thanks for the ask! What 2 fandoms if you dont mind me asking? ![]() ![]() ![]() While hardly bitter about the experience he does confess that “ the first time in my life I was making comics I couldn’t respect.” And when juxtaposed with earlier pages concerning his childhood love affair with comics, this passage effectively previews the book’s compelling themes of corruption and innocence, making the entire section feel more like a prologue than an intro.įocusing on the rise to fame of comics superstar Dick Burger, who left his titular hometown in New Zealand to find fortune and fanboy adulation in the U.S., much of Hicksville reads like a pointedly satirical look at comics culture from the inside-out.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations - whether he’s reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future ( Snow Crash), or both ( Cryptonomicon). “Stephenson has a once-in-a-generation gift: he makes complex ideas clear, and he makes them funny, heartbreaking, and thrilling.” - Time ![]() ![]() The remarkable life of Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret who was also a Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation. ![]() Funny and touching - like looking through a keyhole at a lost world.'
