Book Synopsis All the Light We Cannot See by : Anthony Doerr
Download or read book All the Light We Cannot See written by Anthony Doerr and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
Book Synopsis Jewels of the Sea by : Betsy Franco-Feeney
Download or read book Jewels of the Sea written by Betsy Franco-Feeney and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scuba-diving grandpa introduces readers to the world of microscopic life in the sea in this children's science book. The world's oceans and freshwater environments teem with beneficial microscopic organisms called diatoms. Jewels of the Sea is sure to spark a sense of discovery in grade school-age readers as they are introduced to these creatures and to the essential roles they play in the aquatic food chain, medicine, biomedical research, industry, and the very health of the planet. In the first half of the book ... Bart and his sister, Amy, go scuba diving with their grandfather Saba. He promises to show them the "jewels of the sea"-not a pirate's treasure, as they hope at first, but a rainbow of diatoms so tiny they can be seen only through a microscope or the special "micro-goggles" Saba has invented. As the siblings exclaim over the glasslike diatoms, Saba's facts about the organisms include how they provide the world with "almost a quarter of all the oxygen we breathe" through their process of photosynthesis. Saba's "oxygen-gathering machine" allows for a visit to the ocean floor, where dead diatoms, forming a substance called diatomaceous earth, contribute to life, too. (Young readers' jaws may drop when they learn that this substance, found in such prosaic products as cat litter and toothpaste, was used centuries ago in building the pyramids.) The more substantial second half of the book, intended for adults to experience with children, expands on this information in captivating detail. Finding, collecting, and viewing diatoms through a microscope are illustrated. Photographs add visual appeal to a clear presentation of astonishing diatom facts. The real-life science adventure ends with a comprehensive glossary of words and terms, a bibliography, source material conveniently identified by where it is referenced in the book, and a note about the inclusion of diatom images shot by multi-award-winning microphotographer Wim van Egmond. The final page of the book has a QR code artistically placed in the center of a colorful frustule montage which links to many book-related topics and hands-on projects like making your own plankton net to gather diatoms.

Book excerpt: At the command of the goddess Argo, the poet Geo and his companions Urson, Snake, and Iimmi travel to the island of Aptor to steal a powerful jewel from the god Hama.

Download or read book The Jewels of Aptor written by Samuel Delany and published by Ozymandias Press. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the strange impetus that drove a group of four widely different humans to embark on a fear-filled journey across a forbidden sea to a legendary land? This was Earth still, but the Earth of a future terribly changed after a planet-searing disaster, a planet of weird cults, mutated beasts, and people who were not always entirely human. As for the four who made up that questing party, they included a woman who was either a goddess, a witch, or both, a four-armed boy whose humanity was open to question, and two more men with equally "wild" talents. The story of their voyage, of the power-wielding "jewels" they sought, of the atomic and post-atomic terrors they encountered, is a remarkable science-fiction Odyssey of the days to come.

Carrying great significance in the genre of lamrim literature, it came to be recognized as part of a collection of texts known as the eight great lamrims"--
