![]() ![]() ![]() We’ve moved in to this period of history that I described in Fahrenheit 50 years ago.” ![]() It’s about the moronic influence of popular culture through local TV news, the proliferation of giant screens and the bombardment of factoids. According to the Christian Science Monitor, the author declared that “ Fahrenheit’s not about censorship. (The theme was emphasized in the recent film version, directed by Ramin Bahrani, broadcast on HBO in May.) But Bradbury himself never took this line. After all, the back cover copy declares it to be a “classic novel of censorship and defiance” and it’s generally taught this way in high schools. You might be forgiven, then, for thinking that Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 is about fighting the evils of censorship. ![]() In his highly readable A Universal History of the Destruction of Books, Fernando Báez grimly observes that humans have been burning books and papyrus scrolls, (or smashing clay and stone tablets) since the invention of writing as a means for repressing ideas and asserting cultural dominance over a conquered society. It never occurs to Ray Bradbury that, by just championing the great works of Western Civilization and consigning pop culture (notably science-fiction) to the flames, he’s exercising his own pernicious brand of censorship.īook burning has been going on for a surprisingly long time. ![]() ![]() But hell, he smirked, I’ll let you wash the ride at the end of the shift.Įarly one morning, before dawn, Mortenson brought me to the port of entry. Well there you go, he said, the last thing I need is a dude my own age calling me sir. Mortenson stared out into the darkness beyond his headlights. Sh-t, I’m 23 years old and all I’ve ever known is law enforcement. My old man is the hardest-ass cop you’ll ever meet, made me call him sir ever since I can remember. He looked over at me as he drove us down the highway. Listen, don’t worry about calling me sir or any of that bullsh-t. But that was before the big hiring push - there’s so many people coming in and out of the station nowadays that even junior agents move up fast. He kept going on about the “old patrol” and the “new patrol,” about how nobody with less than eight years in the field should be a journeyman. My first journeyman was salty as sh-t, Mortenson scoffed. ![]() Seems like just yesterday I was a trainee myself. ![]() I’ll tell you what, Mortenson said to me on our first shift together, it throws me for a loop every time they assign me to be a journeyman. I was sent to midnights and partnered with Mortenson, a four-year veteran of the patrol. ![]() After three months we were finally released from the training unit and dispersed into rotating shifts to work under journeymen agents. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even when Trisha is hiding from the other children after being bullied, we are there with her in the darkness. This book is a door because the illustrations go off the page and are often presented to us as if we are sitting there with the characters. Falker who helps her to read by having her stay behind every day with him and a reading teacher to help her learn how to read. Trisha and her family move across the country, and Trisha still felt dumb and was bullied at school, but then she meets Mr. Trisha loves to paint and draw, but words just didn’t make sense to her, and her old teacher didn’t pick up on her disability. ![]() Falker” is the story of how a young girl named Trisha is struggling with dyslexia without even realizing it, and her teacher helps her work through it.

Thus, significant loss or dysfunction of individual cardiac subtypes can lead to specific forms of potentially life-threatening heart disease depending upon the identity of the affected cell type. ![]() Highly coordinated activity of all three cardiac subtypes is required for effective blood pumping. ![]() There are three major types of cardiomyocytes in the heart as defined by anatomical location and unique electrical properties: atrial, ventricular, and pacemaker. Over the last four years, we have taken three fundamental steps toward this goal: 1) in vitro reprogramming of adult mouse fibroblasts into beating cardiomyocytes by forced expression of four transcription factors, 2) developing in vivo reprogramming strategy targeting activated cardiac fibroblasts after myocardial infarction, which improved heart function and reduced scar formation, and 3) identifying the optimal combination of factors that is necessary and sufficient to induce a contractile phenotype in adult human fibroblasts. ![]() Therefore, to convert cardiac fibroblasts, the most abundant cell type in the heart, into cardiomyocytes after injury is a particularly attractive heart repair strategy. A fundamental, but unsolved problem in heart diseases is irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes that is replaced by fibrotic scar in response to injury. ![]() ![]() ![]() One sweltering night in 2013, four former high school classmates converge on their hometown in northeastern Ohio. “A book that has stayed with me ever since I put it down.” -Seth Meyers, host of Late Night with Seth Meyers ![]() “ descendent of the Dickensian ‘social novel’ by way of Jonathan Franzen: epic fiction that lays bare contemporary culture clashes, showing us who we are and how we got here.” - O, The Oprah Magazine “A wild, angry, and devastating masterpiece of a book.” -NPR earnestly ambitious debut.” - The New York Times Book Review ![]() ![]() ![]() Composed of seven tales, each one accompanied by a poem, The Jungle Book is a coming of age fantasy that introduces a lush, colorful world full of adventure and danger.

Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. ![]() |
