ASK! about Fiction

So many books, so little time: How to find a “good book”

Readers’ Advisory is a service commonly provided by librarians working in public libraries. Basically, the librarian introduces and suggests titles that would appeal to the reader, based on the reader’s specified reading interests.

Usually, this service is catered to the Fiction reader as Non-Fiction is usually read more for information rather than pure pleasure. Of course, this is a very general statement! So flame me not! Some fiction titles contain very factual and detailed info and some non-fiction titles are narrative and entertaining.

We use the DDC classification system in the public libraries of Singapore, and this means that Fiction titles are arranged alphabetically according to the first 3 letters of the author’s surname. There are also icons on the spine label for 6 genres: Romance, Mystery, Thriller, Fantasy, Science Fiction & Horror. And icons for Award Winners and Short Stories.

If you check out our genre guides, each main genre actually contains many sub-genres. Even though sub-genres contain certain common elements, they may appeal to different people, for eg. if you’re a fan of John Grisham’s legal thrillers, it doesn’t mean you’ll like all other sub-genres, like forensic thrillers or military thrillers.

So how can you navigate the Fiction section with minimum frustration?

1. Use the icons
Even though each genre contains quite a bit of variation, they are all linked by a certain factor. Eg. Romance books always focus on the development of romantic relationships and have happy endings. So if you’re not picky about whether you’re looking for a contemporary romance or historical romance, just look out for the “Heart” icon.

2. Use the Genre Guides
Our genre guides provide more in-depth info about the genres, listing major sub-genres and their representative authors.

3. ASK! (you know the drill: email. phone, drop a form or look us up)
A large portion of Fiction doesn’t fall into specific genres. Some readers want to read inspirational stories, regardless of genre. Or maybe you’ve got a favourite author and would like to find out which other author has a similar style. Or you require even more info than what’s provided in the exisiting genre guides. Whatever the case, just ASK! Tell us what you’re looking for in a good book or let us know a few of your fav titles or authors and we’ll help you find others which you may enjoy!

4. Develop eclectic or random reading habits
If browsing in a library or book store for hours and hours is a pleasurable activity to you, then perhaps you are a bona fide bibliophile. Regardless of genre, subject or location, you prefer the “chance meeting”. That love at first sight (or first glance at the book flap/cover) feeling of fortituous discovery… If this describes you, then check out some reviews at our sister site: High Browse Online. Who knows, you may come across the next love of your life!

A dwarf planet is defined as an object that orbits the sun, has sufficient self-gravity to obtain a round shape, has not ‘cleared the neighbourhood’ around its orbit, and is not a satellite of another planet, dwarf planet, or other non-stellar body.

Why Do We Have Dwarf Planets?

For many years, it was debated whether Pluto was an actual planet or not. People argued that if Pluto was a planet, so were the asteroid Ceres, Pluto’s moon, Charon, and 2003 UB313, an object orbiting the sun beyond Pluto. 2003 UB313′s codename used to be Xena.

After much debating, scientists decided to create a new category rather then have schoolchildren learn the name of three extra planets, but a good number of astronomers don’t like the new classification, calling it ‘embarrassing’ and ‘inconsistent’.

Along with Pluto, both Ceres and Eris are classified as dwarf planets.

Scientists at the Palomar Observatory in California have proposed the name Sedna which isn’t official yet. In Inuit lore, Sedna was a goddess who created the sea creatures of the Arctic Ocean.

Sedna is shiny and reddish in color. And it may have a moon. Sedna is smaller than Pluto. Scientists think its diameter is 800 to 1,100 miles. Pluto’s diameter is 1,400 miles. The diameter of Earth’s moon, in contrast, is about 2,100 miles.

Sedna is three times as far from the sun as Pluto. Its orbit is wild. Right now Sedna is about 8 billion miles from Earth. At other points in its orbit, it’s as much as 84 billion miles away. The orbit is so large that a Sedna year–one trip around the sun–equals 10,500 Earth years.

1. Do all flowers have only 1 style?

“A style is an element of carpel, which is the female reproductive organ of a flowering plant. A carpel consisting of an ovary, containing one or more ovules, a stalk, or style, and a terminal receptive surface, the stigma. Each flower may have one or more carpels that may be borne singly giving an apocarpous gynoecium or fused together giving a syncarpous gynoecium.”

Sources :

Hine, Robert. “carpel.” The Facts On File Dictionary of Biology, Fourth Edition. New York: Facts On File, Inc., 2005. Facts On File, Inc. Science Online.

Illustration Citation: “Mature Carpel.” Life Sciences On File, New Edition. Copyright Diagram Visual Information Ltd., 2004. Facts On File, Inc. Science Online.

You may find out how to access the above electronic database Science Online from ASK! eResources Guides.

“A characteristic pistil has an enlarged basal ovary that includes the embryo sac, a columnar style and distal stigma, the organ that receives the pollen. The style serves to bring the stigma into a favorable position for pollination. The leafy character of the carpels can easily be seen with a cross-section through the ovary. Both rims of a carpel seem to be rolled in and fused so that a tube-shaped structure is formed.

Normally the gynoecium of angiosperms is composed of several carpels. A remarkable exception is made by the leguminoses where the flower contains just one carpel. Each carpel of a gynoecium may either form a pistil of its own (choricarpy or apocarpy) or several carpels may be fused together to one pistil (coenocarpy)”.

2. Only ovules that are fertilised become seeds? What happens to the unfertilised ones?

“Our results are consistent with the interpretation that diffusible hormones produced by developing seeds cause nearby unfertilized ovules to grow. We conclude that caution is necessary when attempting to infer ovule fertilization histories from the appearances of ovules in developing and mature fruits. What are often inferred to be aborted seeds, in many cases, may not be seeds at all. They may be enlarged, unfertilized ovules”.

“We do not know what causes unfertilized ovules to continue growing in the presence of others that are fertilized, although it has been established for some time that the auxins and other hormones produced by developing seeds move outward to surrounding tissues and stimulate development of the fruit (Gustafson, 1939 ). This effect can be localized to tissues in the immediate vicinity of the embryo-containing ovules (Crane, 1964 ; Pechan and Morgan, 1985 ), and it is therefore reasonable to suspect that nearby unfertilized ovules might be stimulated by these same growth substances.”

Source : Seavey, Steven R. “Unfertilized ovules of Epilobium obcordatum (Onagraceae) continue to grow in developing fruits”. American Journal of Botany.

3. How many pollen tubes can grow from 1 stigma?

Pollen tubes are formed when pollen grains germinate, normally on the receptive surface of the female stigma, and then grow extracellularly through the stylar tissue to the embryo sac. We are unable to locate sources stating the exact number of pollen tubes that can grow from 1 stigma.

4. Where are the male and female parts of the sunflower?

“The Common Sunflower is a typical member of the Asteraceae. Within the structure we think of as the “flower”, it actually has two different types of flowers – ray and disk flowers.

The ray flowers have the big, straplike structures that we see around the edge of the “flower” while the disk flowers occupy the middle of it. Within the Asteraceae, many confusing combinations of the two are possible along with the total absence of one or the other in some species! Individual ray or disk flowers may be male, female or both and either fertile or infertile (do or don’t produce seeds). In sunflowers, the ray flowers are usually female and infertile. The disk flowers are both male and female and are fertile.”

There are real problems with the use of definitions to describe the way of learning that is stated above. In America the term Learning Difficulties is used. In the UK the term Specific Learning Difficulties is used they both share the common believe that in an Intelligence test the children would come out as average or above average in intelligence. (You can then divide the umbrella terms into sub-headings that describe in more detail the different parts of the umbrella or specific learning difficulties or Learning difficulties.)

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, or if the child is not hyperactive then Attention Deficit Disorder, though many authors seem to use and interchange both definitions. It has been suggested that having ADHD is like living in a fast-moving kaleidoscope, where sounds, images, and thoughts are constantly shifting . This means that the child cannot concentrate, (or shunt they brain) on the task in hand. They need a framework given to them by the teacher to enable them to focus on their learning. Specific targets to be met in each lesson. A concentration table that shows a visual way the length of time the child has focused on learning. Time-out in class, where they can focus on a specific game, the children need constant praise and regular rewards. Teachers need to know what medication your child is taken and if any changes occur in medication. A very small proportion of children with ADHD have a rare disorder called Tourette’s syndrome. Children with Tourette’s have tics and other movements like eye blinks or facial twitches that they cannot control. Others may grimace, shrug, sniff or bark out words. You can be dyslexic and also have ADHD.

Dyslexic and ADHD are both problems with dealing with information that occurs because of tiny differences in brain organization that lead to problems with handling verbal codes or symbols. This is why it appears as a reading and writing problem. The only form of Autism that is considered to under the learning disability or specific learning difficulties is called Aspergers syndrome. Aspergers syndrome is characterized by severe and sustained impairment in social interaction, development of restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests, and activities. These characteristics result in clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

In contrast to Autistic disorder (Autism), there are no clinically significant delays in language or cognition or self-help skills or in adaptive behaviour, other than social interaction.

Deepavali is one of the most important date of the Hindu calendar. Deepavali or Divali, is also known as the Festival of Lights. It marks the defeat of the evil King Narakasura by the Lord Krishna. Hindus around the world celebrate this day to mark the triumph of light over darkness, and of good over evil. It symbols the new beginning for Hindu devotees, and is a great time of rejoicing and renewal. Hindu homes are lighted with oil lamps, and offerings of sweetmeats and garlands of jasmine are placed at the family altar.

Kids ASK! about Science & Technology

Eclipse occurs at those times when the Moon moves into a position of direct alignment with the Sun and the Earth. There are two basic types of eclipses – lunar and solar. Most people have seen at least one total lunar eclipse, when the full Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth. In this case, the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth. If you observe a lunar eclipse (visible only at night at the time of certain full Moons), you’ll see the bright lunar disk turn dark — sometimes a coppery red color — for as long as an hour or more.

But the gentle beauty of a lunar eclipse pales in comparison with the truly awesome spectacle of a total solar eclipse, which occurs when the new Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth. In the narrow path of totality swept across the Earth by the Moon’s complete shadow (the umbra), daytime briefly turns to an eerie darkness, and during these few precious minutes the wispy halo of the Sun – the corona –comes into view as the dark disk of the Moon totally obscures the bright Sun. Outside the path of totality, in the Moon’s partial shadow (the penumbra), some portion of the Sun’s bright disk remains visible.

Not all solar eclipses are total. During a partial solar eclipse, only the penumbra touches our planet. The umbra passes either just above the North Pole or just below the South Pole, completely missing the Earth. No total eclipse is visible — only partial phases can be seen.

A third type of solar eclipse occurs when the Moon’s umbra passes across the Earth, but is not quite long enough to touch the surface; the shadow cone diminishes to a point before reaching the Earth. This effect happens when the Moon is farther out in its orbit around the Earth. The Moon appears slightly smaller and is not large enough to completely cover the Sun. When the Moon is centered over the Sun, a ring of sunlight remains visible around the edge. This type of eclipse is called an annular eclipse. (Annular comes from the Latin word meaning “ring.”) Because the Sun is not completely covered by the Moon, the rare and dramatic effects of a total solar eclipse (onset of darkness and view of the corona) are not present at either annular or partial eclipses of the Sun.

Why is a total solar eclipse such a rare event? First of all, eclipses do not occur every month during a new Moon or a full Moon. This is because the orbit of the Moon is tilted by about five degrees with respect to the Earth’s orbit, so that usually the Moon passes slightly above or below the line between the Sun and the Earth. Thus at most new and full Moons, the shadows miss their mark and no eclipse occurs. Only about every six months, during an eclipse season, are the conditions right for a lunar or solar eclipse.

And even though solar and lunar eclipses occur with comparable frequency, it is still far more commonplace to experience a lunar eclipse. That’s because the darkened full Moon can be seen from anywhere on the nighttime half of the Earth during the eclipse. To see a total solar eclipse, you have to be in the path of totality. This path, sometimes up to 200 miles wide, never covers more than roughly one-half of one percent of the Earth’s surface and often traverses open seas or remote regions of the planet. With fewer than 70 total eclipses per century, the chance to see one is for most of us a once-in-a-lifetime event.

It is quite remarkable that total solar eclipses even occur at all. They are possible because the Sun and the Moon appear from Earth to be about the same size in the sky. The Sun, whose diameter is 400 times that of the Moon, happens to be about 400 times as far away from the Earth. This condition permits the Moon to just barely cover up the Sun. In fact, if the Moon’s diameter (2,160 miles) were just 140 miles less, it would not be large enough to ever completely cover the Sun — a total solar eclipse could never happen anywhere on Earth!
