![]() A reinterpretation of the classic Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo, Daughter of Sparta by debut author Claire Andrews turns the traditionally male-dominated mythology we know into a heart-pounding and empowering female-led adventure. Guided by Artemis's twin-the handsome and entirely-too-self-assured god Apollo-Daphne's journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves. ![]() ![]() Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit. I’ve sold two more books The sequels to Daughter of Sparta Blood of Troy (out September 6th, 2022) and Storm of Olympus (Fall 2023) I’ve been working on Storm for the last few months and it has been both heartwrenching and fulfilling. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis-who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands-upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. From snacks and starters, to lunches and mains, and even desserts. ![]() Quick and healthy midweek meal recipe for busy weeknights.

Her meditations on her childhood introduce the traumatic gang rape she experienced at age 12, the event to which she traces the beginning of her struggles with eating and weight gain. She notes that her family typically ate healthy, well-balanced, Haitian-inspired meals and that her parents frowned upon overindulgence. She was pressured to do well in school – and always did – and to live a life of modesty and moderation. She notes that she is the childhood of Haitian-American immigrants who maintained a relatively strict watch over their children. Next, Gay moves on to discussing her childhood. She ultimately decides against the procedure, but remarks that the experience of being briefed on the grotesque operation left her fearful and ashamed of her body. ![]() Her first anecdote is about sitting in the waiting room at a clinic with other potential candidates for a gastric bypass procedure. ![]() Rather, she intends simply to tell “the story of my body” (4), which includes everything from eating and dieting to sex and sexuality.

But there are a few places in the book with additional text as part of the illustration - like the reminder on the "Three Candles" page to not leave candles burning overnight. You see, the text is really quite simple. Not because I think she'll love it, although it is possible that she might, but because I expect that my brother will just about pee himself laughing over it, which totally makes it worth the money I paid for it (about $9, plus or minus).

In summary, with methodology, history of economic thought, interdisciplinarity and heterodoxy sidelined to marginal status, economics is lacking in the ethical meaning and implications of its standard concepts such as production, consumption, utility and the market, let alone development itself. ![]() Fourth, economics has isolated itself from other social sciences, so their contributions to ethical questions have been ignored, and fifth, mainstream economics has always been and is now intolerant with heterodox approaches. Third, economics has neglected its own history as a discipline and in the process, its own changing ethical approaches and contents. Second, the very methodology of economics is unable to interrogate its own ethical foundations. First, the rigid distinction between positive-theoretical and normative-factual economics.
