Development of Life

Development of Life From the fiery birth of our planet to the intricate web of life that now flourishes across Earth, "Development of Life" offers an unparalleled journey through the evolutionary saga that defines our world. Spanning thirteen meticulously crafted volumes, this comprehensive work delves deep into the origins, diversification, and ongoing transformation of life, presenting a richly detailed narrative suitable for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Volume 1 lays the groundwork by exploring Earth's early habitability, tracing the planet's formation, the emergence of primordial oceans and atmospheres, and the spark of prebiotic chemistry that set the stage for life. As the series progresses, readers will traverse the dawn of microbial life in Volume 2, witness the rise of prokaryotes in Volume 3, and understand the monumental impact of the Great Oxygenation Event in Volume 4. The advent of complex eukaryotic cells and the emergence of multicellularity are brought to life in Volumes 5 and 6, respectively, highlighting the evolutionary leaps that paved the way for diverse ecosystems. Volume 7 captures the explosive diversification during the Cambrian Explosion, while Volume 8 and 9 chart the colonization and expansion of life onto land, culminating in the dynamic eras of mass extinctions and the rise of reptiles and dinosaurs in Volume 10. Transitioning to the age of mammals, Volume 11 traces their diversification and dominance, setting the stage for Volume 12’s deep dive into primate evolution and the intricate pathways leading to Homo sapiens. The final Volume 13 encapsulates the current biodiversity landscape, the profound influences of the Anthropocene, and the cutting-edge frontiers of life’s exploration, including the enigmatic microbial dark matter and the resilient deep biosphere. "Development of Life" not only chronicles the past but also reflects on the present and contemplates the future of biodiversity in a world increasingly shaped by human activity. Each volume interweaves scientific rigor with engaging storytelling, offering fresh perspectives and in-depth analyses that illuminate the complex interplay between life and its ever-changing environment. Whether you are a seasoned researcher, a graduate student, or a passionate seeker of knowledge, "Development of Life" stands as an essential compendium, celebrating the resilience, adaptability, and sheer wonder of life on Earth.

L'Héritière contre-attaque

Sharon était une personne ordinaire, alors que son mari, Wallace Harris, était un homme prometteur et séduisant. Sa famille était l'une des familles les plus prestigieuses et les plus riches de New York. Épouser Wallace était un accident. Pendant leurs trois années de mariage, Wallace n'avait jamais couché avec Sharon. Sa famille l'avait également constamment persuadé de divorcer de Sharon. C'était la fête d'anniversaire de la vieille matriarche de la famille Harris, et tous les jeunes de la famille Harris avaient offert les cadeaux les plus chers possibles pour rendre la vieille dame heureuse—tous sauf Sharon. Elle avait demandé à emprunter de l'argent à Madame Harris pour l'ancien majordome, Oncle Smith, car il n'avait pas d'argent pour payer son traitement médical. Mais comme prévu, la famille Harris l'humilia lorsqu'elle fit sa demande. "La famille Harris n'a jamais eu de parent pauvre comme toi. Ne te présente plus jamais devant moi ! Wallace aurait dû épouser Crystal. C'est certainement une jeune femme qui est digne de se marier dans notre famille !" dit Madame Harris. "Connais ta place et sors d'ici. Ne reste plus dans notre maison. Comment le grand-père de Wallace a-t-il pu être si idiot pour marier une femme pauvre et inutile comme toi à mon fils ?!" dit June, la mère de Wallace. "Ce n'est que quelques millions de dollars, et pourtant tu es si pauvre que tu dois emprunter à notre famille. Comment une femme comme toi mérite-t-elle d'être avec Wallace ? Si c'était Crystal, elle ne nous aurait certainement pas autant embarrassés !" Cette nuit-là, Wallace tendit à Sharon une carte bancaire, qui contenait des millions de dollars. "L'entreprise se développe, donc je n'ai pas beaucoup de liquide. Tu peux utiliser ceci pour aider Oncle Smith." Face à l'hostilité de la famille Harris, Wallace déclara, "Puisque je l'ai épousée, elle est ma responsabilité. Qu'elle soit riche ou pauvre, Sharon est ma femme." Ce n'est que lorsqu'un étranger s'est approché de Sharon un jour que celle-ci apprit qu'elle était la fille d'une famille très prestigieuse, éligible pour recevoir des biens d'une valeur d'au moins dix milliards. Elle possédait soudainement la plus grande entreprise de New York et une carte bancaire contenant des centaines de millions de 'monnaie de poche'. En un clin d'œil, son identité avait changé. Elle n'était plus la belle-fille pauvre que la famille Harris n'appréciait pas. Au contraire, elle était devenue la personne la plus prestigieuse de New York !

Ces trois hommes à succès n'avaient qu'un point commun : harceler Penny, leur petite sœur qu'ils considéraient comme un fardeau. La sœur qu'ils n'avaient jamais souhaitée avoir, et celle qui prétendait être leur vraie sœur, alors que la sœur qu'ils chérissaient depuis tout ce temps était une imposture. Après avoir vécu une vie de mauvais traitements chez sa tante, des personnes de haut rang sont venues annoncer à Penny ses vraies origines. Elle pensait enfin être sauvée des griffes de sa tante, sans savoir que ce qui l'attendait était pire.

Elle travaillait et étudiait dix fois plus que quiconque juste pour être acceptée par eux. Dans son désespoir, elle tomba naïvement dans un piège tendu par une personne malveillante, sans savoir que ses actions entraîneraient la chute de ses frères et qu’elle finirait en prison avec une peine de mort. Le jour de son exécution, Penny n'avait qu'une pensée en tête : Si jamais elle pouvait retourner dans le passé, ses frères pourraient choyer leur fausse sœur autant qu'ils le voulaient ! Elle ne voulait plus rien avoir à faire avec eux ! Et à sa grande surprise, Penny se retrouva le jour où tout avait commencé : le jour de sa naissance. Comme promis, cette fois, elle n'essaierait pas bêtement de gagner l'amour et l'affection de ses frères. Peu importe la famille ! Elle ferait juste beaucoup d'argent, vivrait dans le luxe, et créerait sa propre famille ! Mais attendez, pourquoi maintenant qu'elle ne voulait plus rien avoir à faire avec ses frères, continuaient-ils à se mêler de ses affaires ? N'étaient-ils pas censés choyer leur fausse sœur ? Pourquoi ne la laissent-ils pas tranquille ?! Et comment se fait-il qu'elle soit mariée dans cette vie ? Pour aggraver les choses, ce mari qu'elle n'avait jamais eu dans sa première vie se portait soudainement volontaire pour être le père de ses enfants ?!

SOVEREIGN OF THE ETERNAL THRONE

(Action);(Rebirth);(Supreme); (Overpowered); (Own Developed Cultivation Method/System); (Invincible); (Unrequited love); (Calm); (Hot Blooded); (Avenue Power); (Ultimate Physique); (Devouring Power) (Many more will be added later.) ********************************** (Average words per chapter is around :- 1500 words to 2000 words) ********************************** In the world of cultivation, where strength is fate, destiny bends for nothing-except power. The story went a little different in the case of Qiangu Qitian, a young man hailing from Earth, carrying burdensome baggage in the form of regrets from the past life, thrown into an ancient universe-one which only the strong lived and prospered in. Qiangu Qitian could only vaguely remember the novel about cultivation that he read in his previous life, and his body was weak; it's tough for him to get accustomed to this perilous world. He thus forged in iron the Technique-an entirely new and unique refinement cultivation process, cell by cell, of his very being. Without any teacher or master to bring him through, Qiangu Qitian forged his way to eventually reach the top in this world's first big step in the hierarchy of cultivation: the Blood Forging Realm. Just as he came into his own with the surge of new strength, destiny had in store for him a cruel twist of events. While basking in the glory of this success, some mysterious, malevolent creature appeared, drawn to this achievement. This unknown force consumed the essence of a very rare and powerful physique Qiangu Qitian had awakened in such an innocent manner and left him to his death. His body was weak now, lifeless, thrown aside like some tool he no longer needed, to warn against cruelties of this world. But nature is full of its own rules, and fate is not so easy to tell. Qiangu Qitian went against all odds as his frail body was once again claimed by life forces. Stripped of the powers he struggled so hard to gain, with his awakened physique stolen and his essence sapped, on the brink of despair, he sat. But Qiangu Qitian was no ordinary soul. Qiangu Qitian was that young introverted but ambitious man who dared to disobey his father so he could pursue his dream. That resistance against the man who had given him life is what now burnt up his spirit like an all-consuming fire. If he could, in his eyes, square up with his father to pursue his ambitions, no god, no force of heaven, no unknown entity was ever again going to stop him from success. An indestructible will, burning in a restless heart, a determined soul to have back all that was taken from him and to surpass at least the one who snatched what was his from the very start. Led on by a wish for revenge and a search for identity, Qiangu Qitian embarks on an adventure at every turn of which draws him along a path curtained with mystery, with secrets to date forbidden techniques reveal to him, and most especially with unseen potentials within. While his body may be weak, his spirit burns brighter than ever. Refining the Cellular Tempering Technique to unimaginable heights, Qiangu Qitian rebuilds his cultivation anew, unleashing a potential that even his adversaries could never have foreseen. On his journey, he finds that strength is not a matter of power but of resilience, adaptability, and bravery in the face of a world that seems to want to bring one down. In a world full of sects fighting for supremacy, ancient clans guarding their legacies, and forces behind the scenes pulling on the strings of fate, Qiangu Qitian's journey takes on the meaning of not only survival but also redemption. He refused to be a victim of circumstance or a chess piece of someone else's game. His journey is a story of unyielding man's will who refuses to let his destiny get stolen.

The vengeful God in another world is me?! Wasn't it just a game?!

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image
