![]() More and more replicators were built from the finite supply of building-block molecules in the primordial soup, and these molecules were gradually used up. However, mistakes in the copying process led to ‘daughter’ replicators that had a slightly different configuration than their ‘parent.’ These new configurations meant that some ‘daughters’ were able to copy themselves faster, or more accurately, giving them a competitive advantage over their ‘parent.’ ![]() The first replicator automatically had a competitive advantage over all the other molecules in the primordial soup because they could not copy themselves, and hence the replicator became more numerous than any other type of molecule. Replicators copy themselves by attracting other ‘letters’ and acting as a template for them to match up to. ![]() ![]() Molecular replicators are made up of long chains of smaller building-block molecules in the same way that a word is made up of a string of letters. ![]() Over 3.5 billion years ago, in a primordial soup of molecules, the first, simplest form of life on earth came to be: a molecule able to copy itself, a replicator. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a story of two men's separate journeys confronting trauma and loss.

World War II tail gunner Gene Moran fell four miles through the sky without a parachute and lived. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even more so, we hear this story filtered through the naïve and unknowing eyes of young Sugar, which makes it all the more interesting to dissect and read into. Regardless, I thought it was interesting to read a children’s story set in this time period because I, personally, had never encountered one prior. You wouldn’t know this, however, based on the way these “workers” are treated. Now, with this, she is not a slave – just a worker. This young ten-year-old girl, Sugar, tells us all about her life working on a plantation during the Reconstruction-era. Review: Rhodes told a very unique story here. With her budding friendship between Beau and Master Liu (two of the workers), Sugar realizes it’s up to her to bring everyone together and make the plantation as peaceful as possible. However, Sugar’s way-of-life begins to change when workers from China move to the plantation. All she knows is picking sugar in the field, her family of fellow workers, and her friendship with the plantation owner’s son, Billy. Summary: Sugar has lived on the River Road sugar plantation for her whole life. ![]() ![]() To start: i started using post-it notes/tabs again for this book, even though it’s been FOUR YEARS since i last did so.Īnd yet, i went back to my old ways, because underlining my favorite parts didn’t feel like enough.

The Nazis replaced the Weimar Republic’s once vibrant culture with Nazi propaganda and a carefully tailored concept of what they wanted "German culture” to be. Numerous writers were forced to go into exile, while many of those who stayed in Germany were imprisoned or murdered. But books of political dissidents were also burned. Image: akg-images/picture-allianceĪfter Hitler seized power in January 1933, on 10th May of that same year, tens of thousands of books were burned in more than twenty cities in Germany. Once Burned Jeaniene Frost Published 2012 346 pages Summary (from the book jacket) After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Authoritative regimes - such as those currently in power in Russia and Iran -do everything in their power to suppress freedom of art and expression to uphold their repressive systems. To this day, dictators continue to fear the power of free speech and uncensored artistic expression. "Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.” More than 160 years after his death, this quote by the German poet Heinrich Heine is still relevant. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since only women in the family have the ability to Travel, there’s not much Finn can do-until his mother reveals that there’s a time-travel portal made specifically for him, and a task that only he can perform. His mother has moved backward and taken Faith with her to try to keep the little girl from growing into the terror revealed by forward travel through all the time lines-in each one of which, she kills Finn. But most disconcerting is the Gran who arrives from five years ago, telling him that theirs is a family of time travelers, that his mother is one, and that his dead sister (snatched out of time) has become not only the most powerful but the most evil of the Travelers. She warns him not to trust anyone, and dies in her bed the night he arrives. Finn’s life has felt incomplete since the death of his twin sister, Faith, when they were three, and now that his mom has disappeared ten years later, it threatens to fall apart. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this fascinating history, the renowned medievalist Michel Pastoureau traces the changing meanings of blue from its rare appearance in prehistoric art to its international ubiquity today.Īny history of color is, above all, a social history.
