Keepers of the Code by Robert Lecker Pdf

Keepers of the Code explores the complex network of associations and negotiations that influenced the development of literary anthologies in English Canada from 1837 to the present. Lecker shows that these anthologies are deeply conflicted narratives that embody the tensions and anxieties felt by their editors when faced with the challenge of constructing or rejecting national ideals. He argues that these are intensely self-conscious works with their own literary mechanisms and architecture. In reading the history of these anthologies, he witnesses a complex narrative of nation, a compelling story about the values and interests informing English-Canadian literary history.

Keepers of the Secret Code by Kj Williams,Teresa Kemp Pdf

Peter Farrow is a slave. He's grown up with his family on Dover Plantation, South Carolina where he does small jobs. When he's not working, Peter likes to play with the other slave's children, or go fishing with the master's daughter, Emily. Sometimes, he even gets to sit in on Emily's school lessons and learn to read. Since Peter is almost twelve, it's time for him to learn a trade. The master has agreed for Peter to apprentice with Samuel, the plantation's carpenter. Peter is happy he won't have to fetch and carry anymore, or work in the dairy, churning butter. However, Peter's mother decides it's time he learns the family's secret. She and her husband have been active in the Underground Railroad, helping slaves escape. They use secret codes sewn into quilts and wagons with a secret hiding place. When traveling to other plantations doing work for the master, Peter's father transports runaways in the wagon's false bottom. Until now, Peter has been too young to keep a secret of this magnitude. But John, the cruel overseer, has other plans for Peter. He wants Peter out in the fields, doing the backbreaking work of a grownup slave, where Peter is close enough to feel his whip. When Peter comes between Samuel and the sadistic overseer's whip, Peter makes a terrible enemy. Overseer John alerts the master about Emily spending too much time with Peter. When the two friends are caught together multiple times, the master decides to sell Peter down south. Distraught, Peter's mother and father decide to "transport" him away from Dover Plantation before he can be sold. Using the secret quilt codes, other runaways join Peter's family as they make their way to the first safe house on the Underground Railroad. When they arrive, Peter's parents make the hard decision to send him on to Canada with Samuel while they remain in South Carolina, helping more runaways escape to freedom. A poignant tale of an enslaved family making the difficult decision to "do their part" for their kinsmen instead of running together toward their own freedom.

What is he protecting me from? I’m just a normal high school girl and that's all I want to be. RAYNE: I have a duty—to protect Sadie from a secret world she knows nothing about, or her place in it.

She has to make a choice. Take the easy way out and run away from her problems, as usual, or move forward with courage and discover her own destiny.

The Code of Capital by Katharina Pistor Pdf

"Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else. In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively "codes" certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital - and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients' needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations--assets that exist only in law. A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it."--Provided by publisher.

Protein Synthesis and Ribosome Structure by Knud H. Nierhaus,Daniel Wilson Pdf

Knud Nierhaus, who has studied the ribosome for more than 30 years, has assembled here the combined efforts of several scientific disciplines into a uniform picture of the largest enzyme complex found in living cells, finally resolving many decades-old questions in molecular biology. In so doing he considers virtually all aspects of ribosome structure and function -- from the molecular mechanism of different ribosomal ribozyme activities to their selective inhibition by antibiotics, from assembly of the core particle to the regulation of ribosome component synthesis. The result is a premier resource for anyone with an interest in ribosomal protein synthesis, whether in the context of molecular biology, biotechnology, pharmacology or molecular medicine.
