He was originally human, but has changed enough that when asked, Brandon only says "It's complicated." Hoid is not a Shard, nor is he a Herald, but something else entirely. Hoid was involved in the events taking place before any of the cosmere's published books begin, and is the second oldest character seen so far. Among the original Vessels, Hoid is often known as Cephandrius, which is one of his earliest aliases. ![]() The dragon Frost once asked him in a letter if he is no longer hiding behind the name of his old master, likely referring to the name Hoid. Hoid is not his original name before telling Kaladin the story of the Wandersail, he claims he stole the name from someone he should have loved. Hoid is a recurring character in the cosmere, originally from Yolen. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Wild Pitch by Sloan Johnson![]() The way to save trees, and ourselves? Step aside and let forests - which are naturally better equipped to face environmental challenges - to heal themselves. ![]() Instead, they are ecosystems that consist of thousands of species, from animals to fungi and bacteria. Not only are these trees more susceptible to disease, flooding, fires, and landslides, we need to understand that forests are more than simply a collection of trees. While politicians and business leaders would have us believe that cutting down forests can be offset by mass tree planting, Wohlleben offers a warning: many tree planting schemes lead to ecological disaster. As human-caused climate change devastates the planet, forests play a critical role in keeping it habitable. Now, in The Power of Trees (translated by Jane Billinghurst) (Greystone), he turns to their future, with a searing critique of forestry management, tree planting, and the exploitation of old growth forests. ![]() ![]() In his beloved book The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben revealed astonishing discoveries about the social networks of trees and how they communicate.

Hereville : How Mirka Got Her Sword by Barry Deutsch and colors by Jake Richmond ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Doctor Who by Lance Parkin![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is chock-full of great ideas I loved the Needle and its inhabitants I thought the Sontarans and the Rutan have rarely been so well depicted. You get an amazing sense of scale and power at the same time you see how and why a Time Lord can never actually do anything: a group of people whose power is so momentous they can never make use of it. The details of how the Capitol operates, the Citadel, the relationship between the Time Lords and other Gallifreyans, the details on the technologies they possess, they're all so well done. But Lance Parkin does a great job with the Time Lords and Gallifrey, arguably better than anyone ever. When I was a young Doctor Who fan, I was fascinated by the Time Lords after years of mediocre Big Finish stories about them, I've come to think that killing them off was the best thing that ever happened to them, and I'd happily go a decade without going to Gallifrey or hearing about the Matrix or transduction barriers. The real pleasure of the book is in the worldbuilding. Is it a Doctor who returned home? Or one who never left? Or one who has yet to leave? There are hints that would indicate it's a Doctor who's settled down after a long time traveling the universe there are also hints that indicate the tv adventures we know didn't happen. The Doctor seems to be the one portrayed on screen by Paul McGann, but he lives on Gallifrey the Time Lord we would call the Master is a government official called the Magistrate, and they are friends. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Pratchett hogfather![]() ![]() In 2008, Harper Children's published Terry's standalone non-Discworld YA novel, Nation. ![]() The first of these, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal.Ī non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback - Harper Torch, 2006 - and trade paperback - Harper Paperbacks, 2006).
