![]() ![]() Living hyenas are infamous for crushing the bones of their prey to extract the nutritious marrow inside. This combination of traits suggests that bone-crushing Borophagus potentially hunted in collaborative social groups and occupied a niche no longer present in North American ecosystems. parvus body weight of ~24 kg, reaching sizes of obligatory large-prey hunters and (5) prey size ranging ~35–100 kg. Surface morphology, micro-CT analyses, and contextual information reveal (1) droppings in concentrations signifying scent-marking behavior, similar to latrines used by living social carnivorans (2) routine consumption of skeletons (3) undissolved bones inside coprolites indicating gastrointestinal similarity to modern striped and brown hyenas (4) B. We report rare coprolites (fossilized feces) of Borophagus parvus from the late Miocene of California and, for the first time, describe unambiguous evidence that these predatory canids ingested large amounts of bone. Borophagine canids have long been hypothesized to be North American ecological ‘avatars’ of living hyenas in Africa and Asia, but direct fossil evidence of hyena-like bone consumption is hitherto unknown. ![]()

![]() In her review for Variety Laura Fries called the film "slickly produced" and said it had "haunting cinematography by Mike Southon, an impressive supporting cast". ![]() Set on a South Carolina barrier island, the movie tells the story of 42-year-old Jessie Sullivan, a married woman who falls in love with a Benedictine monk, and explores themes of mid life marriage crisis and her self-awakening.

Readers return to Arawiya, and Zafira, Nasir, and others make the journey back from Sharr to begin the second part of their mission to bring magic back to their people. We Free the Stars is the sequel to Hafsah Faizal's debut novel, We Hunt the Flame. ![]() ![]() ![]() As they grew in number and confidence, the women began writing in a great variety of poetic forms and on public as well as private topics, eventually finding their way into print. Lonsdale's collection represents a diverse group of female poets from washerwomen to duchesses whose writings began mostly at home as informal and unpretentious verse. Unlike the women who wrote fiction, the vast majority who wrote verse have been ignored and forgotten since their own day. ![]() Who were the women poets of the eighteenth century? This anthology presents writings by more than a hundred women, few of which have been published in conventional surveys and anthologies of eighteenth-century verse. ![]() ![]() ![]() The story instead follows Harriet’s sleuthing to discover her brother’s killer. Initially, I assumed Tartt would focus on this event, but it recedes slowly throughout the book. ![]() The story begins when a prologue describing her brother’s death at a family gathering. It follows a nine-year-old girl, Harriet, during her summer holidays. Unlike The Goldfinch, The Little Friend is far smaller in scope. Once I’d reached 8 books I gave it a go! What Is The Little Friend About? I am aiming for 25 books this year, so didn’t want to spend months slogging through something. She didn’t say it was the best thing she’d ever read, but Tartt can do no wrong! I kept putting off reading it as it’s a veritable tome, stretching over 500 pages. My friend visited me in Seoul and gave me her recently-finished copy of The Little Friend. The Goldfinch had me staying up until 4 am desperately wanting to know the end. ![]() The Secret History had me singing its praises for weeks. It’s no secret that I’m a Donna Tartt fan girl. ![]() ![]() Likewise their children and grandchildren. But, from what I can tell, even readers of that time occasionally grew tired of the grandiloquence, and when they did they were not afraid to skip. For great events, great language was needed. It recorded sweeping changes: kingdoms rose and fell, peoples were enslaved or freed. This fullness, overfullness, was endemic to the genre to which “Les Misérables” belonged, the nineteenth-century historical novel, a form that was immensely popular in its day. Even after the trims, his version is still more than twelve hundred pages long. “It is not uncommon to find eight or ten adjectives appended to a single noun,” Denny noted, with wonder. Or he said them too many times the first time. But others, he was not ashamed to say, were due to his feeling that the book was just too long-winded. ![]() ![]() Certain of them, he said, were for sense. A few years ago, reading the introduction to an English-language version of Hugo’s “ Les Misérables,” I found the translator, Norman Denny, confessing that he had made a number of cuts in the French text. ![]() ![]() Nevin is a detective who investigates crimes against seniors and the disabled. It overlaps with Love Can't Conquer so we hear about Jeremy and Qay, and see Jeremy on page interacting with Nevin, but the focus is on Nevin and his love interest Colin. Love is Heartless is the second book in the Love Can't series but can be read as a standalone. The question is whether they have the heart to build something lasting. ![]() But sparks are short-lived, dampened by the advent of brutal crimes, and Colin and Nevin have seemingly little in common. But being a witness to a terrible crime-or two-was more than he bargained for.ĭespite their differences, Colin and Nevin discover that sparks fly when they’re together. Maybe it’s time to try something more exciting. Now he’s thinking maybe he won’t just go with the flow. ![]() Colin does do relationships, but they never work out. Too supportive, perhaps, since his childhood illness has left his parents unwilling to admit he’s a strong, grown man. Property manager and developer Colin Westwood grew up with all the things Nevin never had, like plenty of money and a supportive, loving family. Until he responds to the severe beating of a senior citizen and meets the victim’s bow-tied, wealthy landlord. ![]() He doesn’t take crap from anyone, and he doesn’t do relationships. Now a dedicated member of the Portland Police Bureau, he didn’t let a tough start in life stop him from protecting those in need. Small but mighty-that could be Detective Nevin Ng’s motto. ![]() ![]() Please hold on to your copy and we will follow up with further information as soon as possible.
