![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This excellent epic fantasy will appeal to adult fans of YA authors Tamora Pierce and Megan Whalen Turner. Durst consistently defies expectations in both plot and characterization while exploring sophisticated themes of found family, integrity, and morality. When her wealthy patron, Lady Evara, challenges Tamra to train a new winner in exchange for a cut of the prize, Tamra takes on desperate rookie Raia, pairing her with an untested leonine kehok, unaware that this kehok may house a powerful soul that could play a vital role in Becar’s future. Tamra Verlas, once an elite kehok rider, has fallen on financial ruin that puts her at risk of losing her daughter. Their only chance of being freed from this monstrous form is winning the popular desert races, ridden by risk-taking humans. Whenever human evildoers die in the land of Becar, they reincarnate as vicious kehoks, hulking beasts that combine traits of different animals. Durst (the Queens of Renthia series) imbues a thrill-filled story about monster racing with impressive thematic depth and a refreshing spectrum of female characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() When you pick it up it has a pleasant sheen to it, a certain crispness that is nice to hold and nice to look at. The best example of this is the book itself. Thus the authors argue that products should either be able to return to the biological cycle (basically, soil and water) and safely biodegrade, or to the technical cycle to be infinitely recycled. What does that mean in practical terms? It means that we design buildings that clean the air, purify the water and produce more energy than the use, because then we are providing things to nature rather than simply taking things away from her and then converting those things into products that cannot be returned to nature because they are now toxic and often do not biodegrade. ![]() It is a model for a new type of industrial revolution as well as a philosophical argument against nature as a tool of man and for man as being a tool of nature. It is a book that seeks to change the very nature of how we do business and how we interact. It is a book that precipitates a paradigm shift in how one things about ecology, design, economics, business and human relations. In other words, it is not a book that merely informs the reader.

We watch the now-old man dig through rooms full of work few people have ever seen, reminiscing about the (recently deceased) love of his life and delivering the occasional bit of wisdom like, “the important thing in life is not what you get, but what you throw out.” He sometimes hesitates mid-utterance, as if unsure how seriously he wants to take this whole documentary thing: Speaking of nudes he shot of one woman, he says he “did some pictures of her that are slightly…they’re slightly…” before simply moving on to another photo.
