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.

Download or read book The Sargasso Bridge written by Dr. Kofi J. Roberts and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-07-13 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Wide Sargasso Sea at 50 written by Elaine Savory and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Biogeochemistry of Cobalt in the Sargasso Sea written by Mak A. Saito and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Seasonal Carbon Cycling in the Sargasso Sea Near Bermuda written by Nicolas Gruber and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1999-10-04 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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).

Download or read book Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys as a postcolonial response to Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte written by Malgorzata Swietlik and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,00, University of Koblenz-Landau (Anglistik), course: Colonial and Postcolonial Literatures, language: English, abstract: Wide Sargasso Sea is one of the best-known literary postcolonial replies to the writing of Charlotte Bronte and a brilliant deconstruction of what is known as the author's "worlding" in Jane Eyre. The novel written by Jean Rhys tells the story of Jane Eyre's protagonist, Edward Rochester. The plot takes place in West Indies where Rochester met his first wife, Bertha Antoinette Mason. Wide Sargasso Sea influences the common reading and understanding of the matrix novel, as it rewrites crucial parts of Jane Eyre. The heroine in Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea, Antoinette Cosway, is created out of demonic and bestialic Bertha Mason from Jane Eyre. Rhys's great achievement in her re-writing of the Bronte's text is her creation of a double to the madwoman from Jane Eyre. The heroine of Wide Sargasso Sea, the beautiful Antoinette Cosway, heiress of the post-emancipation fortune is created out of the demonc and bestialic Bertha Mason. The author transforms the first Mrs Rochester into an individual figure whose madness is caused by imperialistic and patriarchal oppression The vision of Bertha/Antoinette as an insane offspring from a family plagued by madness is no longer plausible to the reader. In this essay I would like to focus the factors which led to the madness of the protagonist. Although Bertha Mason and Jane Eyre seem to be enemies and contradictory characters in the Victorian novel, many critics find several similarities between the two heroines, their life and finally between Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea. Seeing Jane Eyre and Antoinette Cosway as sisters and doubles is very popular with some critics who dealt with the works of Charlotte Bronte and Jean Rhys. Nevertheless, I would like to focus in this essay on Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's criticism on viewing and interpreting the two heroines. Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak in her essay "Three Women's Texts and a Critique of Imperialism" values also Jean Rhys for telling the story of Bertha Mason through the Creole perspective, but she criticises the author for marginalising the native inhabitants of West Indies.
