Intrepid reporters Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland are pitted against the clock and each other in a madcap publicity stunt that the whole world is watching—read all about one of the first viral news stories reported on and starring two fearless female journalists in the race of their careersEveryone knows about Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, but what about a real-life mad dash around the world in less than 80 days? This is the challenge that journalist Nellie Bly tackles in 1889—her mission is to beat the famous fictional record set by Phileas Fogg, the main character of Jules Verne’s famous novel. Whether or not the stunt is successful, it will mean big sales for the paper she writes for, the New York World. But as Nellie Bly sets off on her journey, up-and-coming competing newspaper Cosmopolitan decides to send another woman, Elizabeth Bisland, on the exact same journey, turning an already challenging publicity stunt into a competition that pits the two women against each other on the world stage. As the press coverage heats up, the world watches breathlessly and the public pressure intensifies. Bly and Bisland are embroiled in a race against time, with sexism and prejudice to contend with to boot. A breathless, lively, and gripping graphic novel recounting the real-life tale of one of the most famous publicity stunts ever attempted by two fearless female journalists!

''Not since Joan Didion in her prime has a writer reported from inside inside a system gone mad with this much style, intelligence and wit ... A perfect book'' Caitlin FlanaganFrom former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles comes an irreverent romp through the sacred spaces of the new left.As a Hillary voter, a New York Times reporter, and a frequent attendee at her local gay bars, Nellie Bowles fit right in with her San Francisco neighbors and friends - until she started questioning whether the progressive movement she knew and loved was actually helping people.When her colleagues suggested that asking these questions meant she was ''on the wrong side of history,'' Bowles did what any reporter worth her salt would do: she started investigating for herself. The answers she found were stranger - and funnier - than she’d expected.In Morning After the Revolution, Bowles gives readers a front-row seat to the absurd drama of a political movement gone mad. With irreverent accounts of attending a multi-day course on ''The Toxic Trends of Whiteness,'' following the social justice activists who run ''Abolitionist Entertainment, LLC,'' and trying to please the New York Times''s ''disinformation czar,'' she deftly exposes the more comic excesses of a movement that went from a sideshow to the very centre of Western life.Deliciously funny and painfully insightful, Morning After the Revolution is a moment of collective psychosis preserved in amber.

Take a guided tour of the various countries on the continent of Africa, then proceed to Madagascar, Australia, and New Zealand before concluding your journey with visits to principal island groups in the Pacific. Along the way author Nellie B. Allen will introduce you to how geographical features influence the way of life of the residents in significant ways, from clothing and housing to food and occupational pursuits. You will learn how topographical features and proximity to bodies of water affect the climate, which in turn determines what foodstuffs naturally grow in a region and what crops may thrive there if planted. This comprehensive tour will lead you to a greater appreciation for the peoples you encounter along the way, their various ways of living, and the agricultural and industrial pursuits they engage in. Questions throughout the text and suggested activities at the end of each chapter encourage you to consider the material more thoughtfully.
