Genetically Identical Identical Twins
1,390 wordsOf all the terms coined by scientists which have entered popular vocabulary, 'clone' has become one of the more emotive. Strictly speaking a clone refers to one or more offspring derived from a single ancestor, whose genetic composition is identical to that of the ancestor. No sex is involved in the production of clones, and since sex is the normal means by which new genetic material is introduced during procreation, clones have no choice but to have the same genes as their single parent.

They were intended not only as pieces for teaching "clean" playing of two (or three) part polyphony, but also as models of composition. Bach created a total of 15, 2 - part invent...

Tectonic Plates Molten Rock
689 wordsIn 1912, Alfred Wegener, a German scientist, was the first to notice this and develop the theory of plate tectonics. He noticed that the earth's continents fit together almost like a jigsaw puzzle. This, combined with the fact that similar fossils and rock types are found on different continents separated by large bodies of water, helped him formulate his conjecture. He contended that the plates at one point formed one large continent called Pangea, which allowed like fossils and rock types to b...

Feet Wide Number One
786 wordsBeing poor in the fifties was not the ordeal it had been during the Depression. Artists scrambled from week to week, month to month, without deep fears of complete ruin, and now they can't recall precisely how they managed. Even memories of first sales are dim. Most of the hard facts about artists' incomes in the fifties float on the currents of Jackson Pollock's legend. According to Tony Smith, Pollock's art earned him about $ 2, 600 in 1950. One sold for $ 6, 000 in 1954; soon afterward, Blue ...

Master Symphonist Music Beethoven
678 wordsLudwig van Beethoven was, and remains today, an Olympian figure in the history of classical music. His influence on the last 150 years of music is unequalled; while general a member of the Classicist fold, he was in fact the first Romantic, and pre-figured virtually all music that followed the Romantic era as well. Perhaps no other composer in history wrote music of such exhilarating power and expressiveness; certainly no other composer did so against greater odds. Beethoven was born in Bonn in ...

Igor Stravinsky And Coco Chanel Rite Of Spring First
981 wordsRevolutions in the heart Coco and Igor by Chris Greenhalgh 311 pp, Review People punched each other at the premiere of the Rite of Spring. Maybe it was the heat in the packed Th&# 233; tre des Champs &# 201; lys&# 233; es on the warm, Spring evening of May 29 1913. Maybe it was the primal, groin-thrusting immodesty of Nijinskys choreography.
