Readers intrigued by cutting-edge and slightly speculative science, and the philosophy of scientific ethics, will want to pick up this fine novel. When Chen’s parents are incinerated before his eyes by a blast of ball lightning, he devotes his life to cracking the secret of mysterious natural phenomena. Without tilting the debate, he moves his characters through both their fears and their desires, showing how neither purity nor repudiation will bring more than a measure of personal relief. A new standalone military SF adventure from the bestselling and award-winning author of The Three-Body Problem. This book updates, both for specialists and interested laypersons, what we do know (a little) and what we don't know (a lot) about the phenomena called ball lighting. Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2022. Liu (the Three-Body Problem trilogy) pits the quest for theoretical knowledge against the push for practical, if deadly, applications. Makes Ball Lightning a bit less of an enigma. Together, they track down a lost Russian research base and an eccentric Chinese genius, bringing together the clues that reveal ball lightning’s secrets in time for it to be weaponized for a conflict with America. Encountering evidence that others have been struck by ball lightning but survived, he teams up with Lin Yun, a young major in the Chinese army with her own obsession: “new concept” weapons. Chen, traumatized when ball lightning invades his birthday party and kills his parents, resolves to understand the elusive phenomenon, despite discouragement from his similarly hurt advisor. In Chinese folklore, ball lightning is known as “ghost lanterns,” and ghosts of a quantum kind haunt this thoughtful technothriller about the science of the next war. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. My own life meant little to me today.įOR BELLA SWAN THERE IS ONE THING more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn't running for my life I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING NIGHTMARES, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough. I was perfect - not healed, but as if there had never been a wound in the first place. It was like there had never been any hole in my chest. My lungs filled deep with the sweet scent that came off his skin. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, the blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins again. Shortly before his birth, she had come to live with the Renoir family. Renoir was largely raised by Gabrielle Renard, his nanny and his mother's cousin, with whom he developed a strong bond. Jean Renoir was also the uncle of Claude Renoir (1913–1993), the son of Pierre, a cinematographer who worked with Jean Renoir on several of his films. His elder brother was Pierre Renoir, a French stage and film actor, and his younger brother Claude Renoir (1901–1969) had a brief career in the film industry, mostly assisting on a few of Jean's films. He was the second son of Aline (née Charigot) Renoir and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the renowned painter. Renoir was born in the Montmartre district of Paris, France. The young Renoir with Gabrielle Renard in a painting by his father Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1895-96) Parrish, the stalwart backstop for the Detroit Tigers, caught him 17 times in his career. Rickey’s memory was straight down the line. He had the numbers in front of him, to make sure he could test Henderson’s recollection.īryant asked Henderson who caught him most. A few weeks ago, he tweeted out a partial transcript of one of their interviews in which Bryant spouted off a list of opposing catchers. And pity the AL catchers who had to come up throwing.ĮSPN senior writer Howard Bryant, who covered the A’s for the San Jose Mercury News, is currently working on a Henderson book. But barely a day went by when he didn’t try - 172 attempts, when the last puff of infield dust settled. He stole 130 bases in 1982, which remains the highest total in major-league history. Henderson vowed to break it and keep running at full stride. Lou Brock held the major-league record with 118 steals in a season. When he arrived in A’s camp the following spring, he pronounced that he’d swipe a bag a game. He won a Gold Glove, a Silver Slugger, led the league in runs and stolen bases and finished second in the American League MVP balloting in the strike-shortened 1981 season. He stole 100 bases as a 21-year-old in his first full season in 1980. Here's an example: **Spoiler Scope** >!Spoilery Text!< will show up as Spoiler Scope Spoilery Text in post bodies and comments.
