![]() ![]() Transformer is Lane's voyage, as a biochemist, to find the inner meaning of the Krebs cycle-and its reverse-why it is still spinning at the heart of life and death today. Lane is among the vanguard of researchers asking why the Krebs cycle, the "perfect circle" at the heart of metabolism, remains so elusive more than eighty years after its discovery. In Transformer, biochemist Nick Lane reveals a scientific renaissance that is hiding in plain sight -how the same simple chemistry gives rise to life and causes our demise. Our inheritance also includes our living metabolic network, a flame passed from generation to generation, right back to the origin of life. Information is important, but it is only part of what makes us alive. ![]() What brings the Earth to life, and our own lives to an end?įor decades, biology has been dominated by the study of genetic information. ![]() ![]() ![]() She takes care with her work and her reputation, hoping to be well thought of by her employers, and yet envying the easy confidence of her sister Susie, a housemaid.

It has turned out to be an intriguing historical adventure through desire and identity, a clever interweaving of two tales of losing and finding oneself, all spiced with the salt of the sea air. This was recommended to me on Goodreads or Amazon some time ago, and its elegant cover lodged itself in my mind. ![]() ![]() TolkienĪ classic of American realism for its realistic portrayal of boyhood and of the pre-Civil War South, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn follows a boy escaping an abusive father and a runaway slave, Jim, as they journey down the Mississippi river.

Diana Lary traces the history of the Republic from its beginnings in 1912, through the Nanjing decade, the warlord era, and the civil war with the Peoples' Liberation Army which ended in defeat in 1949. The ideals of the Chinese Republic, which was founded almost a century ago after 2000 years of imperial rule, still resonate as modern China edges towards openness and democracy. Twenty-first century China is emerging from decades of war and revolution into a new era.

Soon Jess and Leslie, whose parents have moved from the suburbs because they're "reassessing their value structure," become close friends. Jess, from an uneducated family in rural Virginia, has been practicing all summer to become the fastest runner at school-a reputation more desirable than his present image as "that crazy little kid who draws all the time." But Jess is beaten in the first race of the fifth-grade year by a newcomer-who is also the first girl ever to invade the boys' part of the playground. Paterson, who has already earned regard with her historical fiction set in Japan, proves to be just as eloquent and assured when dealing with contemporary American children-and Americans of very different backgrounds at that. ![]() ![]() One of the great things about finding the love of your life is that you suddenly have all this support for what you want to do and be in life. I didn’t have much time or opportunity for writing, but I had big dreams of someday being able to write a novel. ![]() At the time, I was teaching music in an elementary school. We met playing Everquest II, an MMO similar to World of Warcraft. Later, my love for horror and fantasy extended into movies and video games, too.Įventually, video games led me to the greatest love of my life – my husband George. Anything that made me just a little too scared to turn off the lights and go to sleep. I loved reading books by authors like Christopher Pike, Lois Duncan, and Stephen King. Reading was another one of my favorite ways to escape into my own imagination. ![]() (Let’s just say that when friends would come over, my idea of a good time was pulling out the Ouija Board.)

It was published in 2012 in the United Kingdom and a year. The narrative opens in 1120 with a drunken party aboard a white ship – the White Ship. The Plantagenets: The Kings and Queens Who Made England is a history book written by Dan Jones. As I sometimes stop mid-paragraph to daydream around a subject, I was grateful to be kept on track by a text that is simple and direct, without leaving me feeling patronised. Jones avoids this with a combination of gripping storytelling and pin-sharp clarity. The risk with a long dynastic history is that it becomes just one damn thing after another, and the reader gets lost in a snowstorm of names and events. The Plantagenets (2012) is a rollicking history of eight generations of English royal rule. Jones covers an enormous amount of ground: eight generations of kings and queens from 1120 to 1399. We both read into the night, but I was the one reading passages out loud. Bed time, back to back: him reading George R R Martin’s hugely popular Game of Thrones fantasy fiction me reading Dan Jones’s The Plantagenets. The present book is Dan Jones at his best covering a period he is most comfortable with, the reign of the Plantagenets from Henry II to Richard II and ending with the rise of the House of Lancaster which will ultimately lead to the War of the Roses another area where Jones excels. It has been a week of competitive reading in the de Lisle household. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shrill provocatively dissects what it means to become self-aware the hard way, to go from wanting to be silent and invisible to earning a living defending the silenced in all caps. With inimitable good humor, vulnerability, and boundless charm, Lindy boldly shares how to survive in a world where not all stories are created equal and not all bodies are treated with equal respect, and how to weather hatred, loneliness, harassment, and loss, and walk away laughing. ![]() Shrill is an uproarious memoir, a feminist rallying cry in a world that thinks gender politics are tedious and that women, especially feminists, can't be funny.Ĭoming of age in a culture that demands women be as small, quiet, and compliant as possible-like a porcelain dove that will also have sex with you-writer and humorist Lindy West quickly discovered that she was anything but.įrom a painfully shy childhood in which she tried, unsuccessfully, to hide her big body and even bigger opinions to her public war with stand-up comedians over rape jokes to her struggle to convince herself, and then the world, that fat people have value to her accidental activism and never-ending battle royale with Internet trolls, Lindy narrates her life with a blend of humor and pathos that manages to make a trip to the abortion clinic funny and wring tears out of a story about diarrhea. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Available at: University of Mauritius Library.
