Despite its wide-ranging nature, the work is not comprehensive, nor did the author intend it to be. Ascherson touches on a range of subjects including current politics, the ancient world, and the status of minorities. In addition to his own observations, the author cites liberally from the works of prominent historians, archaeologists, and other writers. Over the course of eleven chapters the author takes the reader from the shores of the Crimean to the shores of Turkey and Georgia, covering some 3,000 years of history in the process. ![]() In his 1995 work Black Sea, Neal Ascherson presents a captivating view of the region's diverse cultural history using his personal travels in the area as a backdrop. ![]() Reviewed by Norman Youngblood (Texas Tech University) ![]() ![]() ![]() With a foundation of experiences built upon death, abuse, endless despair, and haunted memories, it is not surprising that Keiran’s first response to meeting someone like Lake is a negative one. Keiran, considered Lake’s tormentor, had a dark and twisted childhood until he was left to be raised by his distant uncle and cousin. When Lake was in elementary school, she had an unfortunate experience with another student named Keiran- an interaction that led to a long, and tortuous “relationship” between the two characters. The story follows Lake, a high school student who has been living with her aunt since her parents disappeared when she was a young child.

Aeschylus was born to an aristocratic family from Eleusis (or thereabouts). Regarded as the “father of tragedy,” Aeschylus introduced important innovations to the genre and was highly esteemed for his dextrous use of symbolism and metaphor, as well as his exploration of justice and the role of the gods in human life.Ī herm, conventionally said to be a bust of Aeschylus (first century CE) Capitoline Museums, Rome Public Domainįrom the many legends surrounding Aeschylus’ life, we can extract a few details that are probably factual. 525/4–456/5 BCE) was the oldest of the three canonical Attic tragedians (the other two being Sophocles and Euripides).

"Reckless is a project I've been dreaming of us doing for years," Brubaker told IGN. But when he reconnects with a friend from his days as a college student and political activist, Ethan will find his past coming back to haunt him. The book revolves around a protagonist named Ethan Reckless, a man who solves other people's problems for a fee. While most of their projects are steeped in the criminal underworld and morally compromised protagonists, Reckless is a story about a genuine hero. 12 Images Publisher Image Comics is teasing reckless as something of a departure for Brubaker and Phillips. ![]() ![]() Fibrates stimulate cellular fatty acid uptake, conversion to acyl-CoA derivatives, and catabolism by the β-oxidation pathways, which, combined with a reduction in fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis, results in a decrease in VLDL production. Fibrates lower hepatic apoC-III production and increase lipoprotein lipase-mediated lipolysis via PPAR. The PPAR-α form mediates fibrate action on HDL cholesterol levels via transcriptional induction of synthesis of the major HDL apolipoproteins, apoA-I and apoA-II. Fibrates activate specific transcription factors belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, termed peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Recent investigations indicate that the effects of fibrates are mediated, at least in part, through alterations in transcription of genes encoding for proteins that control lipoprotein metabolism.

While it’s hard to categorize, the story - like many a dystopia - has an emphasis on the importance of memory, as well as the primacy of perception. I thought the story was well-structured with an opening chapter that provides background on their utopian community and reveals that Jam is transgendered (and accepted) a pivotal middle chapter, which lines up the suspects and a more traditional build up towards a climax (however brutal) and resolution with more action than earlier in the book. The story also has a large dose of interior monologue at the same time, I struggled with knowing whether the once/current selectively mute protagonist Jam was speaking or signing (though I did like her family’s African diaspora infused chatter). It may be playing with gender conventions, but kids picking it up and expecting a rainbows and unicorns read are in for a shock. It also has a fabulous shiny, pink cover (see the opening post).
