Rainier, returned to Seattle, climbed atop the Space Needle, and threw them into the sky to make it rain. In an effort to silence the noise, the Wheedle gathered clouds in a large sack atop Mt. The Wheedle slept there peacefully for many years, his red nose blinking, until the region's growth brought people- and their whistling- to his doorstep once again. Bothered by the whistling of workers first settling the city of Seattle, the creature was unable to sleep and became irritable, eventually moving to Mount Rainier to escape the noise. ![]() Wheedle on the Needle (Serendipity Books, 1974), written by Stephen Cosgrove and illustrated by Robin James, was about a large, round, furry creature called the Wheedle who lived in the Northwest. ![]()

![]() ![]() While nation-states were a stronger predictor of cultural traits than religious traditions, the cultural similarity of coreligionists remained robust, controlling for demographic characteristics, geographic and linguistic distances between groups, and government restriction on religion. Nonreligious individuals across countries also shared cultural values, offering evidence for the cultural evolution of secularization. Moreover, distances between denominations within a world religion echoed shared historical descent. Individuals who shared a religious tradition and level of commitment to religion were more culturally similar, both within and across countries, than those with different affiliations and levels of religiosity, even after excluding overtly religious values. To test this hypothesis, we measured cultural distance between religious groups within and between countries, using the Cultural Fixation Index ( C F S T) applied to the World Values Survey (88 countries, n = 243,118). It follows that affiliation with religious traditions would be reliably associated with global variation in cultural traits. ![]() Cultural evolutionary theories suggest that world religions have consolidated beliefs, values, and practices within a superethnic cultural identity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jodorowsky was multi-talented from an early age, becoming skilled in puppetry and mime, in addition to writing, by his late teens.

As the reader, I knew the full story and found their fighting and lying to be quite tiresome. I found that quite irritating since the story is told in alternating POV. The main characters often acted irrationally and tried to lie to each other to “protect” the other. I definitely had problems with the first book. I had nothing against it, but for some reason, I bought it, and never actually read it. But, after fully diving into bookstagram, I was convinced to finally pick it up. I have not finished all of the below yet.Įver the Hunted was one of those books that sat on my shelf (and TBR list) for a while before I actually picked it up to read it. But now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, let’s talk about trilogies. If I read the last book, there’s nothing else to read. The reasons vary but it’s usually because I don’t want the story to end. I have a serious issue with not finishing trilogies. I have a confession, before we really dive in. ![]() ![]() Transformers Studios Series 7 Inch Action Figure Voyager Class (2021 Wave 3) - Wreck-Gar Transformers Studio Series 8 Inch Action Figure Leader Class (2023 Wave 2) - Snarl ![]() Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon Series 7 Inch Action Figure 2-Pack Exclusive - Rat King & Vernon Transformers War For Cybertron Kingdom 8 Inch Action Figure Leader Class Wave 1 - T-Rex Megatron (Beast) WFC-K10 Joe Classified 6 Inch Action Figure Wave 10 - Set of 3 (Tomax - Xamot - Stalker) Sign up to our newsletter for the latest news and special offers. ![]() Transformers Older Series Expand child menu.Transformers War For Cybertron Expand child menu.Star Wars - Prop Replica Expand child menu.Star Wars - Vehicle Figure Expand child menu.Star Wars - 12 Inch Scale Expand child menu.Star Wars - 6 Inch Scale Expand child menu.Star Wars - 3.75 Inch Scale Expand child menu.Marvel - 12 Inch Scale Expand child menu.Marvel Action Figures Expand child menu.Gaming - Action Adventure Expand child menu.Star Wars The Black Series Expand child menu.Marvel Legends Newer Series Expand child menu. ![]() ![]() I really did NOT enjoy my foray into women’s fiction and readers really didn’t engage and buy as much, so I’ve put this on hold.
