This book synthesizes new knowledge with existing information to stimulate new scientific questions and propel fungal scientists on to the next stages of research. This book is a comprehensive guide on fungi, environmental sensing, genetics, genomics, interactions with microbes, plants, insects, and humans, technological applications, and natural product development. Bringing together leading experts from across the globe, this book provides timely analysis on the current and future challenges associated with greater utilization of RAS by states, their militaries, and a host of non-state actors.
Technologically driven change in the international security environment can come about through the development of one significant technology, such as the atomic bomb. At other times, it results from several technologies maturing at roughly the same pace.
This second image better reflects the rapid technological change that is taking us into the robotics age. Many of the chapters in this edited volume explore unresolved ethical, legal, and operational challenges that are only likely to become more complex as RAS technology matures. Though the precise ways in which the impact of autonomous systems — both physical and non-physical — will be felt in the long-run is hidden from us, attempting to anticipate the direction of travel remains an important undertaking and one that this book makes a critical effort to contend with.
Score: 5. Do we continue to practice medical missions in a way that is no longer considered an effective means of presenting the gospel to the unreached? Is our gospel message biblically balanced and firmly contextualized in the context that we try to serve?

So finally I ended up picking it up a couple of weeks ago. But is it bad to want to use your power to bring clean orde to the world? The beginning of the book was so intriguing that made me very excited to see what things were going to happen next.
I think the characters were really well done, and their development throughout the book was done quite well in my opinion. I loved the magic system, and even though at the beginning I was a bit confused with some things that were happening, I ended up loving how magic worked in that world and the information provided as I kept reading the story.
However something I would have loved to see more was the retelling parts of that novel. The ending was a bit convinient and unrealistic. Some things that happened towards the end were really convinient, and they felt a bit odd to me. Overall, I think this was a nice and solid read, even though I had a few issues with somethings that happened in the story.
May 16, Cassi rated it really liked it Shelves: debuts , owned-arcs. This was an absolutely fantastic read. It was the perfect combination of a fairy tale retelling and a epic fantasy. It was full of magic and adventure.
I'm not sure if I would call this a fairy tale retelling but it definitely had aspects of that. It is almost a love letter to the classic fairy tales that we know and love. It rewrites those stories in an interesting way and intertwines them in a complex and c This was an absolutely fantastic read.
It rewrites those stories in an interesting way and intertwines them in a complex and compelling way. It's one of those books that feels both familiar and creative at the same time. The fairy tale aspects were not the only thing that felt familiar and creative though.
This book also felt like a classic YA fantasy with an epic ending of the world kind of vibe. There was so much action and adventure here that was reminiscent of some of the great epic fantasies. It was a book full of action and adventure. A lot of times you'll see me complain about exposition or a slow plot development, but not here.
Here the book slowly built to a thrilling conclusion that had me on the edge of my seat. And yes, sometimes it moved a little too fast with moments just seeming to serve as a springboard for the next step but in general it was a very exciting fantasy read. But it was also a book full of magic with a fantastic and creative magical system.
I'm always looking for a unique and different magical system and I feel like I found that here. It was an interesting combination of the two most common systems I see, elemental magic and an object granting someone with inherited powers magic. The elcrin stones were really interesting but that on top of the individual power that the person had made for a cool and interesting kind of magic. But the larger world of this book was also incredibly fascinating.
My favorite fantasies are those that have a history and a lore to them. That's exactly what happened in this book. That on top of the political intrigue and threat then actuality of war made for a compelling setting and world for the book to place in.
A world that I loved learning about throughout the book. The only thing that didn't super impress me was the characters. They were interesting enough but they didn't really jump off the page for me.
I did like Bristal but she didn't have quite the complexity that I was hoping for. However she was someone you wanted to root for because of her selflessly but she felt a little one-dimensional at times.
But I will say that I surprisingly didn't hater the romance here. The romantic lead Anthony was likable enough too and the author made me believe it. Which is a surprising feat after ranting about how frustrated I would be if she did fall in love after saying she wasn't equipted for it.
But it was a good slowburn and ended up working for me. On the whole, Kingdom of Ash and Briars is a creative and compelling story with a ton of action, adventure, magic, and an interesting world.
It perfectly combined fairy tales and epic fantasy to create a story that felt familiar and unique. It's a great modern fairy tale that I think everyone will love. Sep 18, Mandy added it Shelves: that-fairytale-stuff. But truthfully, it's more like Kingdom of Meh and More Meh. Exactly like Sleeping Beauty's face. She is not pleased. Not only did it have a ridiculously beautiful cover, it promised me a Sleeping Beauty retelling - and not just a Sleeping Beauty retelling, it also promised to take elements from other folklore and fairytale novels including Mulan.
Mulan, Rapuzel, and Sleeping Beauty are my ultimate Disney Princesses, so imagine all the squealing I did when I discovered that two would be in this book. I stalked Amazon and Barnes and Noble every day to see if this would go down in price and what day was the actual day it would be released there were three different days that each website would tell me and it turned out to be, like, none of them. It was a really power in restraint not to buy it, and because I saw a few negative reviews, I finally had a stern talking to myself and decided to wait for the library.
Thank gosh for that mind-conversation, though, because I ended up struggling through this no matter how pretty the cover was. I tried soooo hard with this book. I really did. I got pages in, which usually my limit is two chapters in and I'm done if I'm not feeling it. However, no matter what I did, I just couldn't get into this book. It fell so flat to me. I didn't care about the plot.
I didn't care about the characters. I felt nothing for the main character, and we hadn't even met the love interest yet.
But seriously, how do you go pages in a smaller book like only pages and NOT meet the love interest yet? It just seemed really boring to me. What made me even more upset is there was honestly nothing really wrong with it. Hannah West has a nice writing style, and her concept was amazing. She really did flesh out the whole concept nicely, and I love anything fairytale. So far, she did a very interesting take on the Sleeping Beauty tale.
But it was just boring, meh, and I just couldn't get into it, and it's a real shame. So much for one of my most excited books of Mar 09, Dorothy rated it really liked it Shelves: young-adult , sent-to-me , fantasy.
I thought the magic system was created well and the imagery associated with the magic was so vivid. I like how elicromancers can all do some sort of basic magic like materializing and healing, but have an affinity for one specific special power.
The allusions made to all the different Disney stories were highly apparent. The romance that went along the Mulan storyline was my absolute favorite! Now I was thrilled with how the plot unraveled, with the battle scenes and surprises that came along. Also, the other romances in this book were very on the spot. May 01, Kara rated it it was ok Shelves: dnf.
I liked this book for a while, but I never really loved it. It started out okay, but chapter after chapter went by and it felt like nothing ever happened. It was all exposition and dialogue with no action or tension.
I got bored. I can't sit and read a book all the way through anymore unless it's a REALLY intriguing book , so after putting it down and coming back later or the next day, I had forgotten a lot of what I had already read.
And with this book that is a problem because there are so ma I liked this book for a while, but I never really loved it. And with this book that is a problem because there are so many kings and queens and princesses and nobles, and all the names ran together and I lost the backstory. This book is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty with some other interesting elements thrown in, but it's just not enough to hold my interest.
