Challenger deep goodreads6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The team also found what they think are four new species of amphipods, or shell-less crustaceans. At 26,247 feet (8,000 m), they observed Mariana snailfish and supergiant amphipods ( Alicella species) - creatures about 20 times larger than typical amphipods. ![]() They saw arrowtooth eels at 9,843 feet (3,000 m) and a wriggly little spoon worm ( Echuria) at 22,966 feet (7,000 m). "There were some small, translucent animals," gently moving about, Vescovo said. They also observed a variety of critters. In the depths, during those five dives, they discovered red and yellow rocky outcrops that could be chemical deposits or bacterial mats, which are made by chemosynthetic microbes, meaning they can convert carbon-containing molecules into organic matter. After Vescovo's record-breaking dive, other team members took four other subsequent dives to the trench. "I was surrounded by enormous pressure, but I was safely cocooned in my technological bubble." The pressure at that depth is about 16,000 pounds per square inch, over a thousand times more than the pressure at sea level. It was chilly it was quiet and "it was so very peaceful," he told Live Science. The team launches the submersible, DSV Limiting Factor (Image credit: Tamara Stubbs)įrom inside the submersible designed to withstand extreme pressures, he spent hours observing and documenting the quiet, dark alien world. ![]()

Daisy johnson everything under6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() We quickly discover that the ‘you’ to whom Gretel speaks is her estranged mother, Sarah, who raised her in their own private, peculiar world on the backwaters of the English countryside and then abandoned her when Gretel was 16. It’s been a long time since I’ve read something written in the second person and found the effect of Johnson’s ‘you’ quite arresting: such a bold start only serves to set a precedent for the rest of this daring, audacious novel. ![]() Johnson’s novel opens with the voice of our narrator, a young woman named Gretel, who begins speaking to us in the second person. It is perhaps useful, in order to afford the story both more context and depth, to know that the novel is a rework of a Greek myth: however if you don’t want to ruin it for yourself – don’t find out which one!Īnd if you want to take my advice and avoid spoilers: STOP READING HERE! I went into Everything Under completely blind and thus had a really unique reading experience, in that every twist and turn in the narrative was a delightful surprise. If there’s one piece of advice I would give to you before starting this book, it would be to not do too much research about it. ![]() I was keen to read Daisy Johson’s debut novel Everything Under since it was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and so when I learnt that the French publisher I am interning for (at time of writing) are to publish the book in translation early next year – and that I could borrow the English copy from the Foreign Acquisitions team – I was very excited! ![]()

Begin again by eddie glaude6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The US has yet to confront its racism honestly, choosing instead to minimize the issue and shift the blame to fringe actors. The Introduction describes the book’s origins and lays out its main thesis: Insidious views of race in America continue to frustrate efforts to achieve equality.Ĭhapter 1 is about two concepts: “the lie” and the “after times.” The lie is the idea that White people matter more than racial minorities, while the after times are transitional periods in US history that present opportunities for change, such as the post-civil rights years and the current era.Ĭhapter 2 focuses on the notion of bearing witness. ![]()
