Life on Earth depends on carbon. In fact, about 18.5 percent of a human body's mass is carbon. How carbon is taking in and given off through animals' breathing, the burning of fossil fuels, and more can be shown in the model known as the carbon cycle. Though this concept can be confusing, all readers have a chance to understand this concept through the text and simple diagrams in this book. Both struggling readers and those looking for review can find the most important components and vocabulary of the carbon cycle in low-level, accessible text.

"Amphibians have some of the most interesting life cycles on Earth. The metamorphosis frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians go through has many steps that readers need to understand and remember. This book offers a concise overview of the general amphibian life cycle as well as representative examples of the many species within the animal group. Most importantly, the accessible language is paired with diagrams of the steps of the life cycle to augment readers' understanding of this topic often found in the science curriculum."

Remitiendo a numerosos ejemplos que atraviesan las distintas artes visuales, la literatura y los medios de comunicación, Mitchell analiza tanto iconos bizantinos como películas ciberpunk, estereotipos raciales y monumentos públicos, ídolos antiguos y clones modernos, imágenes ofensivas y pinturas aborígenes.

Primavera del 67. América está en llamas, sacudida por disturbios raciales y por la protesta contra la guerra de Vietnam. En Nueva York, , varios músicos relacionados con la “new thing”, el jazz libre de Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp o Bill Dixon, apare- cen muertos en extrañas y violentas circunstancias. En los guetos del Black Power se habla de un asesino llamado El Hijo de Whiteman. ¿Existe realmente? Y, si es así, ¿actúa por su cuenta o es mero instrumento de un “establishment” asustado? Mientras, John Coltrane, guerrero y guardián de los espíritus en esa libérrima...

Dexter is displeased. Like any self-respecting, totally decent, soundly homicidal guy, Dexter Morgan takes great pride in his work and is careful to remain anonymous. As his colleagues grow more paranoid of the killer in their midst, Dexters position is increasingly perilous. He is running out of time to track down this copycat.
