Jokes can therefore arise from the characters themselves and the interactions between them, instead of just relying on the lampooning of common features in shoujo romance manga. It isn’t simply good as a parody, however: Nozaki-kun also has a decently sized cast of characters and all of them are fun. With her experience, Tsubaki-sensei has crafted a charming and humorous manga that pokes fun at the very genre she’s always been entrenched in. That’s right, Nozaki-kun was animated, and so it should come as no surprise that this is surely the most well-known series I’ve covered so far. See, this is a case where I watched the anime adaptation of the series first and picked it up from where the anime left off (an act I usually admonish).

Global in scope and a delight to read, Assembling California is a sweeping narrative of maps in motion, of evolving and dissolving lands. From the Auburn suture of the Smartville Block. McPhee and Moores also journeyed to remote mountains of Arizona and to Cyprus and northern Greece, where rock of the deep-ocean floor has been transported into continental settings, as it has in California. The two disparate time scales occasionally intersect-in the gold disruptions of the nineteenth century no less than in the earthquakes of the twentieth-and always with relevance to a newly understood geologic history in which half a dozen large and separate pieces of country are seen to have drifted in from far and near to coalesce as California. At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee made geological field surveys in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis. The result of these trips is Assembling California, a cross-section in human and geologic time, from Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada through the golden foothills of the Mother Lode and across the Great Central Valley to the wine country of the Coast Ranges, the rock of San Francisco, and the San Andreas family of faults.

Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy, and the general ‘hoo-ha’ of becoming a woman. A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. |
