Sargasso by Kathy George Pdf

An empty house, a lonely shore, an enigmatic, brooding man-child waiting for her return ... a trip to the dark lands of Australian Gothic, for readers of Kate Morton and Hannah Richell. Last night I dreamt I went to Sargasso again ... As a child, Hannah lived at Sargasso, the isolated beachside home designed by her father, a brilliant architect. A lonely, introverted child, she wanted no company but that of Flint, the enigmatic boy who no one else ever saw ... and who promised he would always look after her. Hannah's idyllic childhood at Sargasso ended in tragedy, but now as an adult she is back to renovate the house, which she has inherited from her grandmother. Her boyfriend Tristan visits regularly but then, amid a series of uncanny incidents, Flint reappears ... and as his possessiveness grows, Hannah's hold on the world begins to lapse. What is real and what is imaginary, or from beyond the grave? A mesmerising Australian novel that echoes the great Gothic stories of love and hate: Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and especially Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. 'So beautifully written, so skilfully plotted, such a masterpiece of tension and atmosphere ...' Australian Book Review

Wide Sargasso Sea at 50 by Elaine Savory,Erica L. Johnson Pdf

This book revisits Jean Rhys’s ground-breaking 1966 novel to explore its cultural and artistic influence in the areas of not only literature and literary criticism, but fashion design, visual art, and the theatre as well. Building on symposia that were held in London and New York in 2016 in honour of the novel’s half-century, this collection demonstrates just how timely Rhys’s insights into colonial history, sexual relations, and aesthetics continue to be. The chapters include an extensive interview with novelist Caryl Phillips, who in 2018 published a novel about Rhys’s life, an account of how Wide Sargasso Sea can be read through the lens of the #MeToo Movement, a clothing line inspired by the novel, and new critical directions. As both a celebration and scholarly evaluation, the collection shows how enduring Rhys’s novel is in its continuing literary influence and social commentary.

The Sargasso Bridge by Dr. Kofi J. Roberts Pdf

Trade is the economic life blood of any society. For the past two decades, much of Americas productive base has been transferred offshore, mostly to Asia. But Americas trade as well as budget deficit continues to deteriorate. What is the answer? Scholar and speaker Dr. Kofi J. Roberts presents a practical and engaging solution from the African viewpoint. Through extensive research, Roberts argues that Africa represents the only true hope for America to regain her global standing as a producing nation capable of maintaining positive trade balance. For America to take on such role, prevailing negative ethos toward Africa must change. Roberts offers a brief, comprehensive history of Africa from its earliest period through colonialism and from the Cold War until the present. He deconstructs the myths surrounding this proud nation and shows how the disruption of ancient African civilizations greatly impacted the continents future. In addition, Roberts stresses the need for Westerners and Africans themselves to work together to achieve meaningful and lasting change. Africa can represent a significant trade partner for America once prudent and lasting solutions are established. With a considerate and sincere offer of a hand up, Africa may well become the worlds next profitable market.

The Biogeochemistry of Cobalt in the Sargasso Sea by Mak A. Saito Pdf

Processes that enable marine phytoplankton to acquire trace metals are fundamental to our understanding of primary productivity and global carbon cycling. This thesis explored the biogeochemistry of cobalt using analytical chemistry and physiological experiments with the dominant phytoplankton species, Prochlorococcus. A high sensitivity method for Co speciation was developed using hanging mercury drop cathodic stripping voltammetry. Dissolved Co at the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series station (BATS) in the Sargasso Sea was bound by strong organic complexes with a conditional stability constant of logK=16.3 +/- 0.9. Biweekly time series measurements of total cobalt near Bermuda from the MITESS sampler were 0-47pM throughout 1999, and averaged 20 +/- 10pM in 1999. A transect of total cobalt from BATS to American coastal waters ranged from 19-133pM and correlated negatively with salinity (r(sup 2)=0.93). Prochlorococcus strains MED4-Ax and SS120 showed an absolute requirement for Co, despite replete Zn. Co-57 uptake rates and growth rates were enhanced by additions of filtered low Co cultures, suggesting that a ligand is present that facilitates Co uptake. Co-limited Prochlorococcus cultures exhibited an increase in the fraction of cells in G2 relative to other cell cycle stages during exponential growth, and the durations of this stage increased with decreasing cobalt concentrations.

Sargasso of Space by Andre Norton Pdf

Stellar exploration—and depredation—in the exciting first novel in the Solar Queen series from a “superb storyteller” (The New York Times). In the future, venturing out into the stars is more than a way for humanity to chart the cosmos—it’s big business. Every time a new planet is discovered, the highest bidder gets first dibs with exclusive property rights for a year. Anything they can find, they can keep. The planet Limbo was considered a waste of rock to most, which is the only reason apprentice cargo master Dane Thorson and the rest of the crew of the Solar Queen could afford to bid on it. But they soon discover that Limbo is far from uninhabited, the Solar Queen is far from the first ship to explore it—and they can never leave . . . With her many beloved series, including the Solar Queen novels, Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master Andre Norton remains “one of the most popular authors of our time” (Publishers Weekly). Sargasso of Space is the 1st book in the Solar Queen Series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (Book Analysis) by Bright Summaries Pdf

Unlock the more straightforward side of Wide Sargasso Sea with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, which was inspired by Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and tells the story of the most frequently overlooked character in that novel: Bertha Mason, the infamous “madwoman in the attic”. Rhys’s novel takes the reader back to Bertha’s childhood in the Caribbean, when she was known by the name Antoinette Cosway, and explores how her status as an outcast, her unhappy marriage and the pernicious influence of rumour and slander eventually transform her from a quiet child into the deranged character from Brontë’s novel. Wide Sargasso Sea was the last novel published by Jean Rhys prior to her death in 1979, and is generally considered her masterpiece. It was also partially influenced by Rhys’s own childhood in the Caribbean. Find out everything you need to know about Wide Sargasso Sea in a fraction of the time!

Seasonal Carbon Cycling in the Sargasso Sea Near Bermuda by Nicolas Gruber,Charles D. Keeling Pdf

Each year, the concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the mixed layer at Station S in the Sargasso Sea decreases from winter to summer by about 30 umol/kg. The authors of this study demonstrate that by simultaneously observing changes in the stable isotopic ration of DIC, it is possible to quantify the contribution of physical and biological processes to this summer-fall drawdown. They find that biology is the dominant contrbutor to the drawdown, but that physical processes also play an important role.

Thermal Gradients in the Southern Sargasso Sea by M. Bratnick Pdf

Sea surface temperatures in the southwestern Sargasso Sea (within the area bounded by 25 degrees N and 32 deg 30 min N, 57 degrees W and 77 degrees W) were measured by airborne radiation thermometer during August 1967 and in March and November 1968. Surface temperature gradients were generally weak during August. The thermal field during March and November was organized so that temperatures increased in a step-like manner toward the south. The mean gradient of these steps was 1.5C/10km. In one instance, two gradients appeared continuous for 450 and 550 km, respectively, with a mean separation of 85 km. (Author).
