![]() My sister (who was five at the time) received the book as a present when she started grade one in September 1976, but I ended up hijacking it for a while, as I wanted to practice reading English and Little Bear was at that time just the right level of difficulty for me. Yes, I vaguely but nostalgically do remember Else Holmelund Minarik's Little Bear from the time we immigrated from Germany to Canada when I was ten. This is one of the books from James Mustich's 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die A Life-Changing List. Of course, if you are going to read this, you definitely have to do the voices for Little Bear, Mother Bear, and all of the animals. ![]() ![]() Little Bear also comes off as a bit whiny. It felt a bit like the author wrote a book leveraging animals with the hope that using animals would carry the book. This book had decent illustrations, but it didn't have the same magic as Winnie the Pooh.

Convinced that he needed to learn tools of physics and chemistry in order to uncover the structure of DNA, he moved abroad to the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. For his graduate work, Watson used X-rays to inactivate bacterial viruses and earned his Doctor of Philosophy at age 22. Although the conventional view of the time was that proteins were genes and able to replicate themselves, Luria and his colleagues were aware of studies suggesting that DNA, not protein, was the genetic mastermind. Luria was a member of the Phage Group of investigators who used bacterial viruses as a tool to investigate genes. Watson completed his Bachelor of Science in Zoology in 1947 at the University of Chicago and began graduate work in the genetics laboratory of Salvador Luria at Indiana University, Indiana. His life ambition changed, however, after reading the book What is Life by Erwin Schrödinger, which convinced him to trade in his binoculars for a microscrope to study genetics instead. ![]() He grew up an avid bird watcher and planned to be an ornithologist.

The sinking of the Titanic in April 1912 shattered the idea that huge ocean liners were invulnerable. But these two tragedies at sea had very different ramifications. A lot of people think “shipwreck = Titanic” and stop right there. Larson didn’t know much about the Lusitania when he embarked upon this project. He points out that one passenger carried a gold seal with the Latin motto “Tuta Tenebo,” or “I will keep you safe.” Wrong words, wrong ship.Īs he freely admits, Mr. Larson has an eye for haunting, unexploited detail. There can’t be many new sources to draw on 100 years after the fact, but Mr. This does not seem like an opportunistic book, or a cobbled-together clip job full of previously known information. Would he be writing about the Lusitania if the anniversary were not imminent? To its credit, “Dead Wake” doesn’t read that way. As he demonstrated with “In the Garden of Beasts” and “The Devil in the White City,” he knows how to pick details that have maximum soapy potential and then churn them until they foam. Larson is an old hand at treating nonfiction like high drama. But the most attention-getting of the bunch is guaranteed to be Erik Larson’s “Dead Wake,” because Mr. This May is the 100th anniversary of the attack on the grand British ocean liner by a German submarine, and the expected crop of books will commemorate the occasion.
