novelty of life in the tropics/ to the novelty of large-scale sugar production? And to the novelty of slave labor?” Summary: Dunn’s book chronicles the settling and early growth of the first 3 generations of British colonists in the Caribbean islands. From a modest attempt to grow North American staples tobacco and cotton‚ largely with white indentures and their own labor‚ the islands quickly turned‚ with Dutch assistance‚ into great sugar plantations with large numbers of African slave labor and

The Australian Sugar Cane Industry The Australian sugar cane industry is one of the largest industries in Australia and continues to grow today. It is the third largest raw sugar supplier after Brazil and India despite sugar being produced in over one hundred countries. It is also the seventh largest agricultural exporter in Australia. It is the second largest export crop after wheat and the fourth major export earning agricultural product. Its value of production is worth 1.5-2.5 billion dollars

happens to a carrot or a potato if you place them in two different solutions. Osmosis has a lot to do with this experiment and is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis only deals with water and is a type of diffusion. The difference between all three solutions is that in a hypertonic solution the cells fluid rushes out of the cell and causes it to shrivel. In a hypotonic solution water rushes into the cell and causes the cell to expand and eventually

third reaction involves molecular iodine becoming a dark blue starch;I2(aq) + starch blue-black complex3. These three reactions react in a sequence. In any reaction the concentration is exponentially related to the rate of the reaction. The rate of the reaction is dependent on potassium iodate4. Therefore as the concentration increases‚ the rate of the reaction also increases. Since the rate of the reaction is inversely proportional to time‚ as the

Objective To investigate the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis is a process that is essential for every living organism. Organic substances‚ such as glucose‚ are made from carbon dioxide and water by light energy from the sun. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. During the process‚ oxygen is released as a by-product. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by a few of factors‚ including

Neuroscience Institute have been studying signs of sugar addiction in rats for years. Until now‚ the rats under study have met two of the three elements of addiction. They have demonstrated a behavioral pattern of increased intake and then showed signs of withdrawal. His current experiments captured craving and relapse to complete the picture. "If bingeing on sugar is really a form of addiction‚ there should be long-lasting effects in the brains of sugar addicts‚" Hoebel said. "Craving and relapse are

Summary The poem begins with our speaker at his desk‚ his pen poised to begin writing. He gets distracted by the sound of his father outside‚ working in the garden‚ and this sends our speaker into a spiral of memories about his father working in the potato fields when the speaker was a young boy. The memory stretches even further back to his grandfather and the hard work he did as a peat harvester (there’s all kinds of hard work going on). Eventually‚ our speaker snaps out of his daydream‚ and we find
