Book Synopsis Digging Stars: A Novel by : Novuyo Rosa Tshuma
Download or read book Digging Stars: A Novel written by Novuyo Rosa Tshuma and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant new novel from the award-winning author of House of Stone. With admission to The Program, Rosa fulfills her dream to continue her father’s research on Bantu geometries and Indigenous astronomies. Yet since his death during her childhood, she has been plagued by anxiety attacks that she dubs “The Terrors”—and by unresolved questions about her father’s life. Who is his mysterious friend Mr. C? Who was her father, really? Her cohort of talented Fellows includes Shaniqua, her roommate, studying melanin molecules and their capacity to conduct electricity in order to redefine how we think about race and biology; Richard, studying quantum mechanics; Mausi, focusing on Indigenous American scientific thought; and Peralte, a kind of stepbrother whose obsessive gaming has made him a programmer of virtual worlds—all of whom will challenge Rosa’s notions of ethnicity, identity, the ethics of technology, her adulation of her father, and what it means to be successful in America. Full of philosophical provocation and gorgeous writing about space, Digging Stars is a brilliantly original reflection on meritocracy and the narrow notions of success that alienate us from the cosmos—a gravity-defying novel both about unlimited aspiration and the importance of being grounded.

Download or read book Always, Rachel written by Rachel Carson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These letters between the pioneering environmentalist and her beloved friend reveal “a vibrant, caring woman behind the scientist” (Los Angeles Times). “Rachel Carson, author of The Silent Spring, has been celebrated as the pioneer of the modern environmental movement. Although she wrote no autobiography, she did leave letters, and those she exchanged—sometimes daily—with Dorothy Freeman, some 750 of which are collected here, are perhaps more satisfying than an account of her own life. In 1953, Carson became Freeman's summer neighbor on Southport Island, ME. The two discovered a shared love for the natural world—their descriptions of the arrival of spring or the song of a hermit thrush are lyrical—but their friendship quickly blossomed, as each realized she had found in the other a kindred spirit. To read this collection is like eavesdropping on an extended conversation that mixes the mundane events of the two women's family lives with details of Carson’s research and writing and, later, her breast cancer. . . . Few who read these letters will forget these remarkable women and their even more remarkable bond.” —Publishers Weekly “Darting, fresh, sensuous, pleasingly elliptical at times, these letters also serve to tether the increasingly deified Carson firmly to earth—just where she’d want to be.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “It is not often that a collection of letters reveals character, emotional depth, personality, indeed intellect and talent, as well as a full biography might; these letters do all that.” —The New York Times Book Review “Provides insight into the creative process and a look into the daily lives of two intelligent, perceptive women whose family responsibilities were, at times, almost crushing.” —Library Journal “Dotted with vivid observations of the natural world and perceptive commentary on friendship, family, fame, and life itself, Always, Rachel will appeal to readers interested in biography and women’s studies as well as those drawn to nature writing and the history of the environmental movement.” —Booklist Online

Misconceptions of the past can twist perceptions of love, greed, and deception. Unusual excitement erupts in the little town of Cedarton when tiger thieves strike a nearby farm for exotic animals. To further distress lawmen and residents alike, rumor has it that someone is opening a pub downtown... smack in the middle of a county that’s been bone Baptist dry for as long as anyone can remember.

Download or read book Human(Kind) written by Ashlee Eiland and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A talented storyteller and peacemaker asks: Can kindness kindle a revolution? “Ashlee teaches by example how to live with courage and compassion, and I believe her perspective and voice will be deeply meaningful to so many people.”—Shauna Niequist Long before polls, protests, and political issues divided us, we were joined by a humanness that God considered very good. Created in his image, we reflected the height and depth of God’s loving-kindness, but our discord has blinded us to the imago Dei in us all. In this compelling collection of essays, Ashlee Eiland shares her story of being a black woman living on two sides of the fence: as the token black girl in majority-white spaces and as the “whitewashed” black girl in majority-black spaces. As she discovers her own unique worth through these recollections, Ashlee learns that extending radical kindness toward every person—regardless of social status, political views, or religious beliefs—gives us hope and rekindles our common humanity. With grace and humility, Human(Kind) invites us to chart our own formative journeys and recognize our inherent value, cultivating empathy so we may once again see the image of God shining brightly within one another.

Book Synopsis The Biomechanics of Insect Flight by : Robert Dudley
Download or read book The Biomechanics of Insect Flight written by Robert Dudley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the rain forests of Borneo to the tenements of Manhattan, winged insects are a conspicuous and abundant feature of life on earth. Here, Robert Dudley presents the first comprehensive explanation of how insects fly. The author relates the biomechanics of flight to insect ecology and evolution in a major new work of synthesis. The book begins with an overview of insect flight biomechanics. Dudley explains insect morphology, wing motions, aerodynamics, flight energetics, and flight metabolism within a modern phylogenetic setting. Drawing on biomechanical principles, he describes and evaluates flight behavior and the limits to flight performance. The author then takes the next step by developing evolutionary explanations of insect flight. He analyzes the origins of flight in insects, the roles of natural and sexual selection in determining how insects fly, and the relationship between flight and insect size, pollination, predation, dispersal, and migration. Dudley ranges widely--from basic aerodynamics to muscle physiology and swarming behavior--but his focus is the explanation of functional design from evolutionary and ecological perspectives. The importance of flight in the lives of insects has long been recognized but never systematically evaluated. This book addresses that shortcoming. Robert Dudley provides an introduction to insect flight that will be welcomed by students and researchers in biomechanics, entomology, evolution, ecology, and behavior.

Book excerpt: The decision to apply to medical school is not one that can be made easily overnight. It takes years of preparation to construct a decent application, and even then, acceptance is not guaranteed. The process is especially grueling for non-traditional students who do not fit the cookie-cutter mold of the thousands of students applying to medical school each year. As a three-time medical school applicant, single mother, and former non-traditional student, Dr. Danielle Ward knows all too well the difficulties and obstacles that come along with the decision to start on the path to becoming a physician. Atypical Premed was created to prove that despite not fitting the mold, you absolutely can accomplish your dream of becoming a physician! Atypical Premed is filled with advice, tips, and Dr. Ward's own personal experiences to both guide and encourage students from all backgrounds who are interested in pursuing a medical career. Whether you are overcoming low GPA and/or MCAT scores, a single parent, changing careers, involved in the military, an older (or even younger) student, or involved in anything else that does not fit the typical view of an entering medical student--if you plan on applying to medical school, this book will have something for you.
Book Synopsis Faces At The Bottom Of The Well by : Derrick Bell
Download or read book Faces At The Bottom Of The Well written by Derrick Bell and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic work on American racism and the struggle for racial justice In Faces at the Bottom of the Well, civil rights activist and legal scholar Derrick Bell uses allegory and historical example to argue that racism is an integral and permanent part of American society. African American struggles for equality are doomed to fail so long as the majority of whites do not see their own well-being threatened by the status quo. Bell calls on African Americans to face up to this unhappy truth and abandon a misplaced faith in inevitable progress. Only then will blacks, and those whites who join with them, be in a position to create viable strategies to alleviate the burdens of racism. "Freed of the stifling rigidity of relying unthinkingly on the slogan 'we shall overcome,'" he writes, "we are impelled both to live each day more fully and to examine critically the actual effectiveness of traditional civil rights remedies." Faces at the Bottom of the Well is urgent and essential reading on the problem of racism in America.

Book excerpt: Gabrielle LeRoux was just like any other girl, focused on her academics and other normal teenage angst. That is, until her 18th birthday, where she inherits her powers and finds out she's a witch! She discovers that she is part of a long line of witches that descended from West Africa. They have the power to control the elements at will, breathe life into anything they wish, as well as take it away. The source of their magic comes from the melanin only their kind possess in their skin. Absorbed from the sun and radiating through their bodies. Not knowing how to control her powers, and still having hopes to one day be a doctor, her mother sends her off to an all girl school. There, she can learn how to not only control her powers, but grow them. They have traditional studies along with various forms of witchcraft. The school is on protected land in the middle of nowhere. There, they are free to practice as they please, until one day, a threat against not only witches, but all black people, sends them into uncharted territory. They must ban together to defeat the enemy before there is no one left. With the gifts given from the earth, and the determination to succeed, the Witches from Louisiana will not go down without a fight...
