![]() ![]() ![]() Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is like a history book for a young Amazon where she learns the history of her people, from the perspective of her people. We took all the language and iconography that we’re used to in stories about men as heroes, and put women at the center. They live on Paradise Island (also known as Themyscira), an isolated location in the middle of the ocean where they are hidden from Mans World (the rest of the world given this name by the Amazons for obvious reasons). “We wanted to do a Homeric epic with a woman at the center. The Amazons are a race of warrior women who exist as part of Greek mythology. “This book is very much a conversation between Phil and me talking about these characters and what makes them resonant today,” said DeConnick. When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons’ path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war in heaven-and the creation of the Earth’s greatest guardian! A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things…but their existence could not stay secret for long. ![]() Clicking on the links to the eBay listings shown above and then making a purchase may.

She was spared by his death and married the attractive but dangerously unbalanced Seymour. ![]() She managed to evade execution, but she knew that the king had his wandering eye fixed on wife number seven. King Henry toyed with her, first ordering her arrested, then granting her clemency.

Catherine Parr attracted the king's lust and, though much in love with the handsome Thomas Seymour, was thrown into the intrigue-filled snake pit of the royal court.

The journeys were made in small fishing boats which covered thousands of miles, testing the skills of the Norwegian seamen who risked their lives in hurricanes, fog and darkness to make the crossing. Most Norwegians knew about the "Shetland Bus", which did not go overland, but across the North Sea, taking supplies and saboteurs into the fjords under the noses of the Germans, and taking refugees to safety on the return journey. ![]() Dark winters provided the perfect cover for missions to occupied Norway during the Second World War, and the closest base was from Britain's most northerly group of islands, Shetland. ![]() ![]() ![]() Man is not willingly a political animal.… Like philosophy, such a venture has no rational excuse, and is at best but a brave stupidity but let us hope that, like philosophy, it will always lure some rash spirits into its fatal depths. ![]() I do not need to be told how absurd this enterprise is, nor how immodest is its very conception … Nevertheless I have dreamed that despite the many errors inevitable in this undertaking, it may be of some use to those upon whom the passion for philosophy has laid the compulsion to try to see things whole, to pursue perspective, unity and understanding through history in time, as well as to seek them through science in space.
