White Space by G.S. Wolfe5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In the beginning, halo-like structures of dark matter, a large, unseen component of the universe known by its effect on surrounding matter, drew in gas. Much of what astronomers know about galaxy formation is based on hierarchy. ![]() So how did a well-formed rotating disk galaxy appear during this turbulent period? This galaxy formed and grew, researchers concluded, in a different way, known as cold-mode accretion. The study published this week in the journal Nature. “These hot mergers make it difficult to form well-ordered, cold rotating disks like we observe in our present universe.” ![]() “Most galaxies that we find early in the universe look like train wrecks because they underwent consistent and often ‘violent’ merging,” said Marcel Neeleman, lead study author and postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, in a statement. The Milky Way may be kicking stars into its outer halo A simulated galaxy image from the FIRE-2 project, representing a structure spanning more than 200,000 light years, shows the prominent plumes of young blue stars born in gas that was originally rotating and then blown radially outward by supernova explosions.Ĭourtesy of Sijie Yu/University of California - Irvine ![]()

![]() ![]() In short, I had mixed feelings about this story. Some of them are attributable to the villain of the piece, but others are never explained (at least not to my satisfaction). Frightful things happen at Vonnie's ranch. The weakest link is the mystery which is threaded through the story. This part of the tale is the strongest, though having survived a love triangle I did not find it particularly entertaining. Sign In or Create Account Help You have items in your cart. Uncommonly good collectible and rare books from uncommonly good booksellers. As time goes on, Vonnie comes to realize that when Adam marries Beth, she will have to sell her ranch and move away. Find Yellow Rose Bride by Copeland, Lori at Biblio. There are some lighthearted moments that are beautifully drawn as when Vonnie and Adam take their midnight ostrich ride. At the same time the bond between Adam and Vonnie becomes increasingly revealed as strong and vibrant. It is obvious that neither Beth nor Adam are enthusiastic about their impending marriage, and during her engagement Beth grows increasingly unhappy. The story slowly and carefully unearths feelings and truths long buried. Just after this announcement, Vonnie's father dies and her grief-stricken mother loses her grip on reality. ![]() ![]() ![]() Adam's father has arranged a marriage between Adam, his eldest son, and the daughter of an adjoining rancher, Beth Baylor, which will unite the two ranches and allow him to see grandchildren before he dies. For seven years things have moved placidly along, feelings and hopes neatly buried beneath long hours of hard work. ![]()

The sentence louise5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In life, Flora was a pest who with annoying self-righteousness never stopped wanting to be a Native American. Set mostly in the year 2020, which itself came to seem haunted as Covid spread and the deaths piled up, this novel restores to us all the messy detail of an almost amnesiac time when, worn down and exhausted, “we skied weightlessly through the days as if they were a landscape of repeating features.”Īt first the ghost of Flora, an elderly customer who dropped dead, haunts only Tookie, the narrator, a middle-aged Native American working in a Minneapolis bookstore that specializes in works about Indigenous people. Specifically, she wrote a ghost story, “The Sentence,” and the further you read in this engaging account of what happens after a loyal bookstore patron dies and her ghost refuses to leave the store she loved, the more apt Erdrich’s choice of genre seems. Louise Erdrich spent the time writing a novel. Some people spent their pandemic confinement learning a new language, refining their cooking skills, increasing their step count or gardening. ![]()

The addams family new yorker5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Addams’s surreal juxtapositions made horror hilarious. They poured boiling oil on Christmas carollers they asked their neighbors for a cup of cyanide their idea of child’s play was to roll boulders onto passing cars. “The tasty little family”-as the first editor of The New Yorker, Harold Ross, called them-were figures of startling caprice, grotesques inhabiting a bourgeois world while taking revenge on its suffocating decency. His po-faced characters never explained themselves their behavior allowed us to connect the dots of their perversity. His game was to turn values upside down: bad was good ugly was beautiful freaky was normal the deadly gave life. Into innocent lives dedicated to the pursuit of happiness, Addams’s creepy crew injected a dose of gleeful dread. Illustration by Robert RiskoĪround 1938, the genial, suburban cartoonist Charles Addams invented in these pages a ghoulish tribe of sadists and malcontents, intended to tease the notion of American prosperity and the cult of the perfect nuclear family. ![]() Gargoyles on Broadway: Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, as Gomez and Morticia, head the creepy clan in this adaptation. ![]()

Doomsday by John Peel5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() “The Knockout Artist reflects on the predicament of the damaged man who owes his great material success to the grotesque displays he makes out of his state of damage, by literally punching himself unconscious in the ring,” explains Coughlan. After Fatima Mansions called it quits in the mid-90s, Coughlan has released five solo albums to great acclaim. DJ John Peel once stated he could “listen to Cathal Coughlan sing the phone book,” and this writer fervently agrees: Coughlan’s songwriting skills mirror more theatrical, baroque acts such as The Divine Comedy, Duke Special and Nick Kelly. ![]() The Guardian hailed Coughlan as “the most underrated lyricist in pop today,” which is tragic, because his erudite yet approachable songwriting is stellar: caustic, literate lyricism an earworm hook. Ireland’s Cathal Coughlan, formerly of Microdisney and The Fatima Mansion, is turning heads with his latest solo effort The Knockout Artist, the third single from his forthcoming album Song of Co-Aklan (Dimple Discs). ![]() |
