The Forties -- the War Years and Post - war Years for the United States, and against this background of momentous events and of struggle for survival, life went on and the detective-crime-mystery story continued to be written - in its own fashion. At the start of the decade in 1941, Philip Van Doren Stern published an article cleverly titled "The Case of the Corpse in the Blind Alley." In it Mr. Stern wrote: "The great need of the mystery story today is not novelty of apparatus but novelty of approach. The whole genre needs overhauling, a return to first principles, a realization that murder has to do with human emotion and deserves serious treatment. Mystery story writers need to know more about life and less about death -- more about the way people think and feel and act, and less about how they die." Mystery story writers listened, and if they didn't actually read Mr. Stern's warning, the strong hint of danger and its consequences was in the air for them to think about and feel and react to. So they turned away from some of the characteristics of The Golden Age -- rather, they modified and changed them, and adopted a new approach, taking Mr. Stern's words to heart. And in the 19 stories in this volume you will see clear evidence of these modifications and changes -- the beginning of a new Golden Age, or perhaps, more accurately, of a Renaissance. Happy reading!" - from the Introduction by Ellery Queen.…

Condizione: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Climate change and resource depletion are two of the most daunting problems the human race may face in the coming decades. However, while both appear to be relatively new phenomena, they are related to growing problems that date back decades, if not hundreds of years. In Nature's Revenge, author Edmund Blake takes an in-depth look at the influence developments in the natural world have exerted on human history, and conversely, the influence human activities have had on nature. Blake also undertakes an exploration of the ways in which the changing perception of nature reveals the dominant values that inform a particular civilization. His book provides evidence demonstrating that the way in which nature is viewed during a given period can have genuine lasting real-world implications. Nature's Revenge ultimately attempts to provide a rational and objective exploration of our immediate future here on Earth with the climate-related challenges we face. The author also has included an epilogue that considers humanity's chances of being able to rise to meet these challenges in the coming years. Edmund Blake was born in the UK and brought up in the county of Essex. Blake studied French and English literature at university, and completed a doctoral thesis on philosophy and political ideologies linked to Bergsonism. Currently he resides in a rural area of France. Nature's Revenge was inspired by his disdain for the exploitation of nature by multinational companies and certain self-serving members of the political elite.…
