Pollen: Darwin's 130-Year Prediction
Junior Library Guild selection How long does it take for science to find an answer to a problem? On January 25, 1862, naturalist Charles Darwin received a box of orchids. One flower, the Madagascar star orchid, fascinated him. It had an 11.5' nectary, the place where flowers make nectar, the sweet liquid that insects and birds eat. How, he wondered, did insects pollinate the orchid? It took 130 years to find the answer. After experiments, he made a prediction. There must be a giant moth with a 11.5' proboscis, a straw-like tongue. Darwin died without ever seeing the moth, which was catalogued by entomologists in in 1903. But still no one had actually observed the moth pollinating the orchid. In 1992, German entomologist, Lutz Thilo Wasserthal, Ph.D. traveled to Madagascar. By then, the moths were rare. He managed to capture two moths and released them in a cage with the orchid. He captured the first photo of the moth pollinating the flower, as Darwin had predicted 130 years before. Backmatter includes information on the moth, the orchid, Charles Darwin, Lutz Wasserthal. Also included is Wasserthal's original photo taken in 1992.

¿Has escuchado recitar a Álvaro Sangregorio? No te dejará indiferente... En este audiolibro, recita sus propios poemas. La Ilusión del Movimiento es el primer libro publicado por Álvaro Sangregorio. En él reivindica la vigencia de la rima y la musicalidad explícita en la poesía contemporánea. La poesía se concibe para ser leída en voz alta, para ser interpretada y -casi- cantada, lo cual puede comprobarse tanto en los recitales y presentaciones públicas del autor, como en los vídeos y audios compartidos a través de sus redes sociales. Es sólo una ilusión el movimiento… un compendio de esquirlas en una vitrina, un observatorio de nuncas cuando caminas en la dirección que te lleva el viento. La ilusión del movimiento se basa en los cimientos de una breve despedida repentina, una dulce mentira que te hipnotiza y te fascina y cauteriza tus heridas sin tu consentimiento. Si el movimiento son briznas de valor y el silencio es una fortaleza en ruinas hasta aquí he llegado callado y sin temor. Se trata de reunir poesía y sonido, estructura y transmedia. Se trata de reconectar la poesía con el tiempo presente, integrando los sentimientos y reflexiones personales con el contexto de una generación marcada por la adaptación tecnológica, la idealización de las metas individuales, la desconexión social y la influencia de la cultura pop. Aquí entran mundos propios bosquejados con píxeles, canciones prestadas (con múltiples referencias a temas y artistas clásicos y actuales) y gasolina para recorrer una carretera incierta. Un medio para cuestionar el camino tomado y plantearse esas preguntas incómodas que no aspiran a recibir una respuesta, sino a buscar destellos de la propia identidad.

It has had a massive effect on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors.

It's a Wonderful Life is a 1946 American Christmas family fantasy drama, based on the short story The Greatest Gift, which Philip Van Doren Stern self-published in 1943 and is in turn loosely based on the 1843 Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol. A man has given up his personal dreams, in order to help others in his community, and whose suicide attempt on Christmas Eve brings about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody. Clarence shows George how he has touched the lives of others and how different life would be for his wife Mary and his community of Bedford Falls if he had not been born. It's a Wonderful Life is considered one of the greatest films of all time. It was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and has been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made. It was No. 11 on the American Film Institute's 1998 greatest movie list, No. 20 on its 2007 greatest movie list, and No. 1 on its list of the most inspirational American films of all time.[8] Capra revealed that it was his favorite among the films he directed and that he screened it for his family every Christmas season. It was also Jimmy Stewart's favorite film.[9] In 1990, the film was designated as 'culturally, historically or aesthetically significant' and added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
