Mirror, Mirror: A Twisted Tale poses the question, what if the Evil Queen poisoned the prince? Following her beloved mother's death, the kingdom falls into the hands of Snow White's stepmother, commonly referred to as "the Evil Queen" by those she rules. Snow keeps her head down at the castle, hoping to make the best of her situation. But when new information about her parents resurfaces and a plot to kill her goes haywire, everything changes for Snow. With the help of a group of wary dwarfs, a kind prince she thought she'd never see again, and a mysterious stranger from her past, Snow embarks on a quest to stop the Evil Queen and take back her kingdom. But can she stop an enemy who knows her every move and will stop at nothing to retain her power... including going after the ones Snow loves?

Book Description
The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vicente. One day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm—and the world comes to Montefiore. In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia—decadent children of a wicked pope—no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vicente on a year's quest to reclaim a relic of the original Tree of Knowledge, he leaves Bianca under the care, so to speak, of Lucrezia. She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest there can be found salvation as well. . . . A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, Mirror Mirror gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White—and has a truth and beauty all its own.

Book Description
MIRROR MIRROR, Tell Me Who I Am – 2nd Edition (ePub version) A trail in the woods. A dog gone astray. A chance meeting with a mysterious stranger. And so begins James' journey of self-discovery. Following his dog into the forest, James crosses paths – literally – with Albert, a vaguely familiar stranger who seems to understand James' inner struggle. James and Albert agree to meet for a walk the following day, and the next day, and the day after. Slowly, a new trail emerges into view – a previously unseen path that leads to renewed happiness, personal satisfaction and well-being. It's a trail, you'll discover, that invites us all. This book is about each person's quest to create relevance in everyday living. It teaches you how to use your thoughts, emotions, and feelings to interpret and create your own experiences, so that your life reflects what is meaningful to you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editorial review by: The Book Review Directory (https://bookreviewdirectory.com/2024/08/26/mirror-mirror-tell-me-who-i-am-editorial-review/) Title: Mirror Mirror, Tell Me Who I Am In Mirror Mirror, Tell Me Who I Am, Jacob Eapen writes a self-help book in the form of a story. We meet James, a dad and husband struggling with finding satisfaction in his career as he recovers from a debilitating disease. While walking his dog, James crosses paths with an older man, Albert, and they strike up a friendship in which Albert shares advice to help James find more fulfillment and happiness. At just over 26,000 words, Mirror Mirror, Tell Me Who I Am is a short, easy read that most people could manage to finish in a few days and return to on an as-needed basis. Eapen's choice to render a self-help book in a story format is a novel concept and engages readers who may otherwise find self-help books too clinical. We relate to each other through stories, so the author's decision to share advice about living one's best life in this way is encouraging and smart. The plot is straightforward. James is unhappy, especially at work. Many people can relate to feeling unfulfilled at their jobs and may grow frustrated that they don't feel heard when they go to their boss with concerns. This is James' problem. Although he has made a remarkable recovery from an illness that paralyzed him, that he still isn't happy shows how we are as people. We often think we will be content once we accomplish the next big goal on our checklist, but anyone who has lived long enough knows this isn't true. The fact that James and Albert develop a friendship that occurs while walking their dogs and talking about life is a solid bedrock upon which to build the narrative. Albert has wise counsel for James, but at times, Albert feels like more of an instrument to relay information rather than a fully formed character. Meanwhile, James is rendered as the listener who doesn't have much to contribute. James has the potential to shine, but this would require a longer book. Most of the plot revolves around Albert and James's conversations. There are fleeting moments with James' wife, Anne, and he has two teenage sons, but they're never given names or dialogue. James is a husband and a father on top of being a man who doesn't like his job, and fleshing out these other interactions would enrich his character and the lessons the book wishes to teach. When Albert and James have their last interaction, James summarizes how he used Albert's advice when speaking with his boss and how it worked, but the actual scene in which this interaction occurs would, again, bring James's story to life more. It's understandable that Eapen's first goal for this book to be of the self-help variety, but by choosing to create a fiction story and weave the advice into a didactic setting, the author has room to expand on James' character and story and thus on the reader's experience. Overall, however, Eapen accomplishes his intention of sharing advice about pursuing happiness in life and how we are all the crafters of our reality based on our attitude. It is certainly true that how we approach a situation has a big impact on how it may play out. Mirror Mirror, Tell Me Who I Am is a creative take on the self-help variety because it shares its information in story form. For readers who are seeking advice on enriching their lives and don't have a lot of time to devote to reading, Mirror Mirror, Tell Me Who I Am is a solid choice. Jacob Eapen's book is a good recommendation to those who enjoyed The Secret but are seeking more grounding feedback.

The Show That Smells (Little House on the Bowery)
Author: Derek McCormack
Publisher: Akashic Books
ISBN: 161775093X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Derek McCormack's most compelling work yet is his second selection in Dennis Cooper's groundbreaking Little House on the Bowery fiction series. “[Derek McCormack is] a whiz at fashion and other often-freaky stuff that the popular imagination latches onto . . .” —Toronto Star McCormack begins his quirky Tod Browning–inspired tale with a disclaimer: “This book is a work of fiction. It is a parody. It is a phantasmagoria . . . Elsa Schiaparelli was never a vampire. Shocking! by Schiaparelli never contained blood.” The work of Schiaparelli, a 1930s Italian fashion designer, was influenced by Surrealist Salvador Dalí, and the same spirit permeates The Show that Smells, which is set in a maze of mirrors. Schiaparelli dresses introduced playfulness and a sense of “anything goes” to the fashion industry. She branched into perfume and became designer to a number of film stars. In addition to Schiaparelli, this tale is about Jimmie Rodgers, a country music–singer dying of tuberculosis, and his wife, Carrie, who tries to save him by selling her soul to a devil who designs haute couture clothing. Starring a host of Hollywood’s brightest stars, including Schiaparelli’s real-life rival Coco Chanel, character actor Lon Chaney, Joan Crawford, and the Carter Family (as red state vampire hunters, no less), The Show that Smells is a thrilling tale of hillbillies, high fashion, and horror. An invitation to adults to make-believe, it is sure to please fashion connoisseurs, fans of classic and cult cinema, and freaks everywhere. In McCormack’s world, the power of death can be bottled and sold, and it certainly smells.

Structural Biology Using Electrons and X-rays
Author: Michael F Moody
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0080919456
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Structural Biology Using Electrons and X-Rays discusses the diffraction and image-based methods used for the determination of complex biological macromolecules. The book focuses on the Fourier transform theory, which is a mathematical function that is computed to transform signals between time and frequency domain. Composed of five parts, the book examines the development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which allows the calculation of the images of a certain protein. Parts 1 to 4 provide the basic information and the applications of Fourier transforms, as well as the different methods used for image processing using X-ray crystallography and the analysis of electron micrographs. Part 5 focuses entirely on the mathematical aspect of Fourier transforms. In addition, the book examines detailed structural analyses of a specimen's symmetry (i.e., crystals, helices, polyhedral viruses and asymmetrical particles). This book is intended for the biologist or biochemist who is interested in different methods and techniques for calculating the images of proteins using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It is also suitable for readers without a background in physical chemistry or mathematics. - Emphasis on common principles underlying all diffraction-based methods - Thorough grounding in theory requires understanding of only simple algebra - Visual representations and explanations of challenging content - Mathematical detail offered in short-course form to parallel the text
