The father has tried to teach the boy to use the gun on himself if necessary, to avoid falling into the hands of cannibals. The pair have a revolver, but only two rounds. He assures his son that they are "good guys" who are "carrying the fire". Realizing they cannot survive the winter in northern latitudes, the father takes the boy south along interstate highways towards the sea, carrying their meager possessions in their knapsacks and a supermarket cart.

Brief Summary of Book: Provoked (Enlightenment, #1) by Joanna Chambers No less crucial is to know where we are headed, or can go. In a society historically based on abusing the planet’s ‘infinite’ resources for short-term gain, what role have businesses and governments played? What are the very serious issues with the easy ‘solutions’ they are now reaching for? Enlisting the help of graphs and diagrams from climate reports, he deftly illustrates climate change’s mechanics, and how human activity is overwhelming the planet’s natural greenhouse gas Mommers’ analysis pinpoints the philosophical, historical and economic roots of the world view that has led humanity to this moment, from Descartes to Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution. From nomadic hunter-gatherers with little effect on the planet we have become an advanced industrial civilization that has unwittingly managed to delay the next ice age while simultaneously placing our world at risk. If left unchecked, it will affect the economies of 90% of the world’s population. Drawing on the latest research and statistics, Mommers makes it painfully clear: climate change is the single greatest threat facing our species.

Writing about sex is a particular skill of July's - it is beautiful but real, not rapturous or misty or scene-lit. This cataloging of unglamorous inner life could be grotesque (and sometimes is) but there is something hugely generous about it. To see these everyday - yet deeply private - moments given serious artistic treatment is elating, like looking at a painting in a museum and recognizing your own toes in it. July is a master of the intimate weirdnesses of human thought that are both deeply specific and yet totally recognizable. Few novels I can think of have such perfect descriptions of self-observation. Like most really good books, The First Bad Man is summary-averse: It defies the demands of jacket copy, and the joy of reading it comes from seeing the odd, musty, intimate corners of a person's inner life treated with immense gravity and care. But it comes at a hefty price: It has to borrow this cash from the Fed and from the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs), and this is expensive money.įor its loans on March 31, the bank’s average borrowing rates were: The bank lined up a lot of cash to cover the past run on the bank and deal with a future run. The deposits began to stabilize at the end of March and have since then hovered just over $100 billion, it said today. Without this influx of $30 billion, deposits would have dropped by 50%. And it looks like it has handled the run on the bank for now: It’s still standing, though its deposits had plunged by 41% (by $72 billion) by March 31, compared to December 31.īut those deposits include the $30 billion that 11 large banks deposited at the bank in March to prop it up and keep contagion from spreading. By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.įirst Republic, the San Francisco bank that started teetering in March when Silicon Valley Bank was felled by its well-connected big depositors, reported earnings this evening. Shares, after jumping 12% during the day in anticipation of something wonderful, plunged 22% after-hours, now within a hair of the low in March. Izzy turns to Mickey and says this profound statement, “ You can’t recover until you know what you are recovering from.” Izzy is pretty active in recovery via 12-step meetings and Mickey has basically been white-knuckling his recovery. There’s a scene early on where the two are sitting at a bar, not drinking, and talking about recovery. Izzy Letts, played by Jazz Raycole, is one of Mickey’s clients, who ends up being his personal driver. And this won’t be the only character in this series to be dealing with addiction and recovery. (That dimple!) Within the first episode, we learn that Mickey is getting back into his attorney groove after spending some time in rehab due to a substance abuse disorder. Instead, we have Manuel Garcia-Rulfo stepping in as Mickey Haller and I’m not mad about it. But don’t expect Matthew McConaughey to show up in this 10-episode, easy to binge series.
