The present book under the title 'The Novels of Angela Carter: An Emergence of New English Fiction' is an exploration of the many facets of looking at Angela Carter's works and tries to put her fiction to affirm the importance of women's texts. The issue that finds mention in the scope of this book is to make an assessment of Angela Carter's style of writing that is marked as experimental and important in the body of work that has been written as a part of new English fiction, where it is seen how her characterization is unique and done in the context of post-modernism and the ideas of a challenging contemporary world.

Continents of the World for Kids: Geography for Kids: World Continents Do you want to teach your children about the continents of the world? If yes then this is the book for you It's important that children appreciate the planet as the home land of mankind so that they can take wise decisions when they grow older about how the planet's resources should be used. In this book, children will learn about the various continents of the world, about its people, their societies, economies, cultures and the environment. This book is more than just a factual look through. It is a book that will make children appreciate why each continent is important and why they should be preserved for as long as possible. With the increase in global warming and climate change that is currently affecting the world, the current state of the continents is subject to change as well. Soon Antarctica might not be a place that is considered to be icy and cold. If the ice caps keep melting then the continent of Antarctica may disappear all together and become flooded with water. But if children never had knowledge about Antarctica then they would never understand the significance of this change. That is why learning about the continents now is crucial. Let this book be their guide to the current state of the continents. Then in the next 30 years they can look back upon and see how much they've truly changed over the years.

This book on "fart" is meant to be both fun and educational at the same time. It will explore in depth about why flatulence occurs and what exactly happens in our body to cause gas. Children will also learn about why farts create different sounds and smells. There are very good reasons for why farts smell and sound the way they do, so it is important to learn these reasons. Not only will this help them manage their own farts better, but can help educate others as well. It may seem like an uncomfortable topic to talk about with their friends and family, but it doesn't have to be. Flatulence is a biological function that could even be caused by diseases or cancers in the body. Although these are rare causes of flatulence, it is important that we understand it completely so that we can judge for ourselves if our excessive fart problem is something serious. This book will help children and adults alike and hence appreciate farts for what they are without always thinking bad about them. Topics covered in this book Introduction What is fart and flatulence The digestive system and flatulence Why do we fart - causes of flatulence Chemical composition of fart Why does fart smell so bad What causes farting sound Is smelling fart is good for you How to reduce flatulence Conclusion Further reading and credits

Rebecca Skloot and her best-seller, 'The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks' has created a lot of interest in the immortal HeLa cells that were taken from a 31 year old black woman called Henrietta Lacks without her family's consent at the Johns Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore in 1951. She describes the story of how Henrietta Lacks died and how her cells were sent around the world for medical research. She goes through the life stories of Henrietta and the Lacks family and the pain they endured when they found out about Henrietta's cells. Skloot's narration of the entire account is powerful, emotional, painful and even heart breaking. Her book has become a notable science reading for high school children and science undergraduates in the United States. And rightly so, Henrietta's story is a case of medical racism, violation of ethical obligation, segregation, ignorance, poverty and painful American history. Today, HeLa cells are the most widely used cell line in the world and has been instrumental in many of the world's medical discoveries. It was the first cells to be sent to space, has helped eradicate polio and has been used in 70,000 medical studies including the development of drugs for herpes, Parkinson's disease, leukaemia and influenza. The title 'The immortal life of Henriette Lacks' actually refers to the immortalization of cancer cells and we look at how HeLa cells are cultured and are able to divide indefinitely. This book looks at the life of Henrietta Lacks and describes HeLa cells in more detail. Topics covered in this book: Table of contents What are HeLa cells? Where did HeLa cells come from? Who was Henrietta Lacks? Epithelial adenocarcinoma and HeLaLife of HenriettaThe family of Henrietta LacksDr. George Otto Gey - The man behind HeLa cellsHow are HeLa cells grown in culture?

Cells are the building blocks of all living things. They are called "cells" because Robert Hooke, the person who discovered the cells when looking under the microscope thought that it looked like the "empty rooms" of a monastery where monks used to sleep in. Biology is the study of living organisms and the research of the science behind living things. Biology is the core that unites all other disciplines and sub-disciplines of biological science. This starts with the understanding of the cell. Hence, the study of biology is vital for our children. This book, "Cells For Kids" is a book designed for children with diagrams so that they can learn everything about animal and plant cells from the start. As parents, we must ingrain their minds and awaken their curiosity so that they can be ready for this complex and rapidly evolving subject area. Most biology books, be it for children or adults start with a chapter on the cell. It is here that all biological processes take place. Hence it is vital that we as parents, teach our children about the cell as early as possible. Some may be able to learn while some may not but at least it's a step in the right direction. I wrote this book for my own children and I can see that they are now curious about what a cell is and what exactly does it does? Half of my job is done; this will save me a lot of heartache later on when I am trying to trying to teach them biology. My ultimate aim would be to get them to study science when they grow up and this book would be one of their stepping stones. Study of biology will prepare children for a range of careers where they can make a difference in the world. Here's what's covered in this book about cells. I have included questions after some chapters for parents to ask to ensure kids are learning before moving on to the next chapter. There is a quiz at the end of the book. The chapters: 1. What is a cell? (This chapter defines what a cell is) 2. Who discovered the cell? (Describes exactly how Robert Hooke discovered the cell and what he saw under the microscope)3. What are cells made of? (Describes what the cell is made of - organelles and cytoplasm)4. Why cells are mostly made of water? (A good question and a difficult one to answer)5. How big is a cell? (Cells come in different shapes and sizes, get to learn the size of the cell)6. How many cells are in the human body? (The body is made of cells and children will learn how many cells we have)7. How many different types of cells are there? (Learn about the different types of cells namely; eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells)8. The animal cell (Learn about the animal cell and its various structures with a labelled diagram)9. Parts and organelles of animal cells (Describes each organelles of the animals cells) 10. The plant cell (Learn about plant cells with a labelled diagram) 11. The parts and organelles of plant cells (Describes parts and organelles of the plant cells) 12. Animal cells and plant cells - The Difference (Goes through the many differences between the animal and plant cells)13. What are tissues, organs and organ systems? (Cells form tissues, which then form organs and then organs systems)14. Cellular division - Cell cycle (There are two types of cells (1) Mitosis and (2) Meiosis)15. 10 facts about the cell (Some facts about the cell)16. Quiz - What can you remember? (A quiz at the end of the book)
