Outline
• War and Peaceis well known as beingoneof thelongestnovelsever written,thoughnotthelongest.Itis actuallytheseventh longestnovel ever written in a Latinor Cyrillicbased alphabetandis subdividedintofourbooksor volumes,eachwith subpartscontainingmany chapters.[citationneeded]
• Tolstoy never documentedwhy in 1867hechanged thenameof his novel fromTheYear 1805to War and Peace.Hemay haveborrowed thetitlefromthe1861 workof Pierre-JosephProudhon:La Guerreetla Paix ('Warand Peace' in French),.[4] Thetitlemay alsobeanotherreferenceto Titus,who is described asbeinga master of "war and peace"in TheTwelveCaesars,written by Suetonius in119CE.Titus (anglicizedto "Tit"by someEnglishtranslations) is mentioned several times in WarandPeaceandmay bea musefor thecharacters,strugglingto master their own lives through the dramatictransitions of war andpeace.
• He began writingWar andPeacein theyear thathefinallymarried and settleddownathis countryestate.Thefirsthalf of thebook was written under thename"1805".
• Duringthewritingof thesecond half,heread widelyand acknowledged Schopenhauer asoneof hismain inspirations.However, Tolstoydeveloped his own views of historyandtheroleof theindividual within it.[9]
• The firstdraftof War andPeacewas completed in1863.In 1865,theperiodical RusskiyVestnik published thefirstpartof this earlyversion under thetitle1805.Inthefollowingyear,itpublished moreof thesameearly version.Tolstoywas dissatisfiedwith thisversion,although heallowed several partsof itto bepublishedwith a different endingin 1867,still underthesametitle"1805".Heheavilyrewrotetheentirenovel between 1866and1869.[5][9] Tolstoy's wife,SophiaTolstaya,copiedas manyas seven separatecompletemanuscripts byhandbeforeTolstoyconsidered itagainready forpublication.[9] Theversionthatwas published inRusskiyVestnik had a verydifferentendingfromtheversion eventuallypublished underthetitleWar andPeacein 1869.
• The completed novel was then called Voynai mir (newstyleorthography;in EnglishWarandPeace).
• The 1805 manuscript(sometimes referred to as "theoriginal War andPeace") was re-edited andannotated in Russiain 1983 and sincehas been translated separatelyfromthe"known"version,to English,German,French,Spanish,Dutch,Swedish,Finnish,Albanian,andKorean.Thefactthatso many versionsof War and Peacesurvivemakeitoneof the bestinsightsintothemental processes of a greatnovelist.
• Russianswho had read theserialized versionwereanxiousto acquirethecompletefirstedition,whichincluded epilogues,anditsoldoutalmostimmediately.Thenovel was translated almostimmediatelyafter publication intomany other languages.
• The novel canbegenerally classified ashistorical fiction.Itcontainselements presentin manytypes of popular18th and 19th centuryliterature,especially theromancenovel.War and Peaceattainsits literary statusby transcendinggenres.
• Tolstoy was instrumental in bringinga newkind of consciousnessto thenovel.Hisnarrativestructureis noted forits "god-like"abilityto hoveroverandwithinevents,butalso intheway itswiftly and seamlesslyportrayeda particularcharacter's pointof view.His useof visual detail isoften cinematic inits scope,usingtheliterary equivalentsof panning,wideshots and close-ups,to givedramaticinterestto battlesandballroomsalike.Thesedevices,whilenotexclusiveto Tolstoy,arepartof thenew styleof thenovel thatarosein themid-19th century and of whichTolstoyprovedhimself a master.[10]
• Tolstoy incorporated extensivehistorical research.Hewas alsoinfluencedby manyothernovels.[9] Aveteran of theCrimean War,Tolstoywas quitecritical of standardhistory,especiallythestandardsof militaryhistory,inWarandPeace.Tolstoyreadall thestandard histories availablein Russian and FrenchabouttheNapoleonic Warsand combined moretraditional historical writingwith thenovel form.Heexplains atthestartof thenovel's thirdvolumehisown views onhowhistory oughtto bewritten.His aimwas to blurthelinebetween fictionandhistory,in orderto get closer to thetruth,as hestates in VolumeII.
• The novel is set60 yearsearlier than when Tolstoywroteit,"in thedays of ourgrandfathers,"as heputsit.Hehad spoken with peoplewho had lived throughwar duringtheFrench invasion of Russia in1812,so thebookisalso,in part,accurateethnography fictionalized.Heread letters,journals,autobiographical andbiographical materials pertainingto Napoleon andthedozens of otherhistorical characters inthenovel.Thereareapproximately160real personsnamed or referred to in Warand Peace.[11]
• Although Tolstoy wrotemostof thebook,includingall thenarration,in Russian,significantportionsof dialogue(including its openingparagraph) arewritten in Frenchandcharactersoften switchbetween thetwo languages.Thisreflected 19th century Russianaristocracy,whereFrench,a foreign tongue,was widely spokenandconsidered a languageof prestigeandmorerefined thanRussian.[12] This cameaboutfromthehistorical influencethroughoutEuropeof thepowerful courtof theSun King,LouisXIV of France,leadingto members of theRussianaristocracybeingless competentinspeakingtheirmother tongue.In WarandPeace,for example,JulieKaragina,PrincessMarya's friend,hasto takeRussianlessonsin order to master her nativelanguage.
• Ithas been suggested[13] thatitis a deliberateliterarydeviceemployed by Tolstoy,to useFrenchto portrayartificeand insincerity asthelanguageof thetheater and deceitwhileRussianemerges as a languageof sincerity,honesty andseriousness. Itdisplaysslightirony thatas Pierreandothers socializeand useFrench phrases,they will beattacked by legionsof Bonapartists in a veryshorttime.Itis sometimes used in satireagainstNapoleon.In thenovel,when Pierreproposes to Hélène,hespeaksto her in French—Jevousaime("I loveyou").When themarriagelater emerges to bea sham,Pierreblames thoseFrenchwords.
• The useof French diminishes as thebook progresses and thewars with theFrenchintensify,culminatingin thecaptureandeventual burningof Moscow.Theprogressiveeliminationof Frenchfromthetextis a means of demonstratingthatRussia hasfreed itself fromforeigncultural domination.[13] Itis also,atthelevel of plotdevelopment,a way of showingthata once-admiredandfriendly nation,France,has turnedintoan enemy.By midway through thebook,several of theRussianaristocracy,whosecommandof Frenchis farbetter than theircommandof Russian,areanxiousto findRussiantutorsfor themselves.
• War and Peacehasbeen translatedintomany languages.Ithasbeen translatedintoEnglishon several occasions,startingwith ClaraBell workingfroma Frenchtranslation.Thetranslators ConstanceGarnettandLouiseand Aylmer MaudeknewTolstoy personally.Translations haveto deal with Tolstoy’soften peculiarsyntax andhisfondnessfor repetitions.About2%of War and Peaceis inFrench;TolstoyremovedtheFrenchin a revised 1873edition,only to restoreitlater.[13] Mosttranslators followGarnettretainingsomeFrench,Briggs usesno French,whilePevear-Volokhonskyand Amy Mandelker's revisionof theMaudetranslationbothretain theFrenchfully.[13] (For a listof translationsseebelow)
• The novel begins intheyear 1805duringthereign of Tsar Alexander I andleadsup to the1812Frenchinvasion of Russia byNapoleon.Theera of CatherinetheGreat(1762–1796),when theroyal courtin Paris was thecentreof western Europeancivilization,[14] is still freshin theminds of olderpeople.Catherine,fluentin French andwishingto reshapeRussiainto a greatEuropeannation,madeFrench thelanguageof her royal court.For thenextonehundred years,itbecamea social requirementfor members of theRussiannobility to speak FrenchandunderstandFrenchculture.[14] Thishistorical andcultural contextin thearistocracyis reflected inWarandPeace.Catherine's grandson,AlexanderI,cameto thethronein 1801attheageof 24.In thenovel,hismother,MaryaFeodorovna,isthemostpowerful woman intheRussiancourt.
• War and Peacetellsthestoryof fivearistocraticfamilies—theBezukhovs,theBolkonskys,theRostovs,theKuragins and theDrubetskoys—andtheentanglementsof their personal lives with thethen contemporary historyof 1805 to 1813,principally Napoleon'sinvasionof Russiain 1812.TheBezukhovs,whileveryrich,area fragmented familyas theoldCount, Kirill Vladimirovich,has fathered dozensof illegitimatesons.TheBolkonskys arean old establishedandwealthyfamilybased atBaldHills.OldPrince Bolkonsky,Nikolai Andreevich,servedas a general underCatherinetheGreat,in earlierwars.TheMoscowRostovs havemanyestates,butneverenough cash.They area closely knit,lovingfamily who livefor themomentregardlessof their financial situation.TheKuraginfamily hasthreechildren,who areall of questionablecharacter.TheDrubetskoy familyisof impoverished nobility,andconsistsof an elderlymother andher onlyson,Boris,whomshewishesto push upthe career ladder.
• Tolstoy spentyearsresearchingandrewritingthebook.Heworked fromprimary sourcematerials(interviewsandother documents),as well asfromhistorybooks,philosophy texts and other historical novels.[9] Tolstoy also used a greatdeal of his own experienceintheCrimeanWarto bringvivid detail andfirst-handaccounts of howtheRussianarmy was structured.[15]
• The standard Russiantextof War and Peaceis dividedintofourbooks(fifteen parts) andan epiloguein two parts –onemainlynarrative,theother thematic.Whileroughlythefirsthalf of thenovel is concerned strictly with thefictional characters, thelater parts,aswell as oneof thework's two epilogues,increasinglyconsistof essays aboutthenatureof war,power,history,andhistoriography.Tolstoy interspersedtheseessaysinto thestoryina way thatdefies previousfictional convention.Certain abridged versionsremovetheseessaysentirely,whileothers,published even duringTolstoy's life,simplymoved theseessays intoan appendix.

• The plotmoves to Moscow,Russia's ancientcity and former capital,contrastingits provincial,moreRussianwaysto thehighlymanneredsociety of Petersburg.TheRostov family areintroduced.CountIlyaAndreyevich Rostovhasfouradolescentchildren.Thirteen-year-old Natasha (Natalia Ilyinichna) believesherself inlovewith Boris Drubetskoy,a disciplined youngman who is aboutto jointhearmy as anofficer.Twenty-year-oldNikolai Ilyichpledges his loveto Sonya(Sofia Alexandrovna),his fifteen-year-oldcousin,an orphan who hasbeen broughtup by theRostovs.Theeldestchildof theRostov family,Vera Ilyinichna,is cold andsomewhathaughtybuthasa good prospectivemarriagein a Russian-Germanofficer,Adolf KarlovichBerg.Petya (PyotrIlyich) is nineand theyoungestof theRostov family;likehisbrother,heis impetuousandeager to jointhearmy when of age.The heads of thefamily,CountIlyaRostovandCountessNatalya Rostova,arean affectionatecouplebutforever worriedabouttheir disorderedfinances.

• Pierre's estranged wife,Hélène,begs himto takeher back,andagainsthisbetter judgmentand intryingto abideby theFreemasonlaws of forgiveness,hedoes.Despiteher vapid shallowness,Hélèneestablishes herself as aninfluential hostessin Petersburgsociety.
• PrinceAndrei feels impelled to takehisnewlywritten military notionsto Petersburg,naivelyexpectingto influenceeither theEmperor himself or thosecloseto him.YoungNatasha,alsoin Petersburg,is caughtup intheexcitementof dressingfor her firstgrandball,whereshemeets PrinceAndrei and brieflyreinvigorates himwith her vivacious charm.Andrei believes hehas foundpurposein lifeagain and,after payingtheRostovs several visits,proposes marriageto Natasha.However,old PrinceBolkonsky,Andrei'sfather,dislikestheRostovs,opposes themarriage,and insists on a year'sdelay.PrinceAndrei leaves to recuperatefromhis woundsabroad,leavingNatashainitiallydistraught.Shesoonrecoversher spirits,however,andCountRostovtakesher andSonyato spendsometimewith a friend in Moscow.

• Back in Moscow,thewar-obsessedPetya manages to snatch a loosepieceof theTsar's biscuitoutsidetheCathedral of theAssumption;hefinallyconvinces his parentsto allowhimto enlist.
• Napoleonhimself is a main character inthissection,and thenovel presents himin vividdetail,as botha thinker andwould-bestrategist.Histoiletteandhiscustomaryattitudesandtraitsof mind aredepicted indetail.Also described arethewell-organized forceof over 400,000French Army (only140,000 of themactuallyFrench-speaking) thatmarches quicklythrough theRussiancountrysidein thelatesummer and reachestheoutskirts of thecity of Smolensk.Pierredecides to leaveMoscowandgo to watch theBattleof Borodino froma vantagepointnextto a Russian artillerycrew.After watchingfor a time,he begins to join incarryingammunition.In themidstof theturmoil heexperiencesfirsthandthedeath anddestruction of war; Eugène's artillery continues to pound Russian supportcolumns,whileMarshalsNey and Davoutsetup a crossfirewith artillerypositionedon theSemyonovskayaheights.Thebattlebecomes a hideousslaughter for both armiesandendsin a standoff.TheRussians,however,havewon a moral victoryby standingup to Napoleon'sreputedlyinvinciblearmy.For

• The Rostovs havewaited until thelastminuteto abandonMoscow,even after itis clearthatKutuzov has retreated pastMoscowandMuscovites arebeinggiven contradictory,often propagandistic,instructionson howto either fleeor fight.Count Rostopchin ispublishingposters,rousingthecitizensto puttheir faith inreligiousicons,whileatthesametime urgingthemto fight with pitchforks if necessary.Beforefleeinghimself,hegives ordersto burnthecity.TheRostovs havea difficulttimedecidingwhatto takewith them, butin theend,Natashaconvinces themto loadtheircartswith thewoundedanddyingfromtheBattleof Borodino.Unknownto Natasha,PrinceAndrei isamongstthewounded.

• As in all good marriages,therearemisunderstandings,butthecouples — PierreandNatasha,Nikolai and Maria— remaindevoted to their spouses.Pierreand Natasha visitBald Hills in1820,much to thejubilationof everyoneconcerned.Thereis a hint intheclosingchapters thattheidealistic,boyish Nikolenkaand Pierrewouldboth becomepartof theDecembristUprising.Thefirstepilogueconcludes with Nikolenkapromisinghewoulddo somethingwith whicheven hislatefather "wouldbesatisfied..."(presumablyasa revolutionary inthe Decembristrevolt).
• The secondpartof theepiloguecontainsTolstoy'scritiqueof all existingforms of mainstreamhistory.The19th-century GreatManTheoryclaims thathistorical eventsaretheresultof theactionsof "heroes"andother greatindividuals;Tolstoyarguesthatthisis impossiblebecauseof howrarely theseactionsresultin greathistorical events.Rather,heargues,greathistorical events aretheresultof many smaller eventsdriven bythethousandsof individualsinvolved (hecompares this to calculus, andthesumof infinitesimals).Hethen goes on to arguethatthesesmaller eventsaretheresultof an inverserelationshipbetween necessityandfree-will,necessitybeingbased onreason and thereforeexplainableby historical analysis,and free-will beingbased on "consciousness"andthereforeinherentlyunpredictable.
• The novel thatmadeits author"thetruelionof theRussianliterature"(accordingto IvanGoncharov)[17][18] enjoyed greatsuccesswith thereadingpublic uponits publicationand spawned dozensof reviews andanalytical essaysin thepress,someof which (by Pisarev,Annenkov,Dragomirovand Strakhov) formed thebasisfor theresearch of laterTolstoyscholars.[18] Yet theRussianpress's initial responseto thenovel was muted,mostcriticsfeelingbewilderedby thismammoth workthey couldn’tdecidehowto classify.Theliberal newspaper Golos (TheVoice,April 3,#93,1865) was oneof thefirstto react.Its anonymousreviewer poseda question later repeated bymanyothers:"Whatcould this possiblybe? Whatkindof genrearewe supposed to fileitto?..Whereis fictioninit,and whereis real history?"[18]
• Leonid Pasternak's 1893illustrationto War and Peace"
• Writer andcriticNikolai Akhsharumov,writingin VsemirnyTrud(#6,1867) suggested thatWar andPeacewas "neithera chronicle,nor a historical novel",buta genremerger,this ambiguity neverunderminingits immensevalue.Pavel Annenkov,who praised thenovel too,was equallyvaguewhen tryingto classifyit."Thecultural historyof onelargesectionof our society,thepolitical and social panoramaof itin thebeginningof thecurrentcentury,"was hissuggestion."Itis the[social] epic,thehistory novel and thevastpictureof thewholenation'slife,"wroteIvan Turgenev inhisbid to defineWar and Peaceintheforewordfor his Frenchtranslationof "TheTwo Hussars"(publishedin ParisbyLeTemps in 1875).
• In general,theliterary leftreceivedthenovel coldly.They sawitas totallydevoid of social critique,andkeen on theidea of national unity.They sawits majorfaultas the"...author'sinability to portraya newkindof revolutionary intelligentsiain his novel,"as criticVarfoomey Zaytsev putit.[19] Articles byD.Minayev,V.Bervi-FlerovskyandN.ShelgunovinDelomagazinecharacterizedthenovel as "lackingrealism",showingits charactersas "cruel andrough","mentallystoned","morally depraved"and promoting"thephilosophyof stagnation".Still,Mikhail Saltykov-Schedrin,who neverexpressedhisopinion of thenovel publicly,in theprivateconversation was reportedto haveexpresseddelightwith "howstrongly this Counthas stungourhighersociety".[20] DmitryPisarev in hisunfinished article"Russian Gentryof Old"(Staroyebarstvo,OtechestvennyeZapiski,#2,1868) whilepraisingTolstoy's realismin portrayingmembers of high society,still was unhappywith theway theauthor,as hesawit,'idealized' theoldnobility,expressing"unconsciousandquitenatural tendernesstowards"the
Russian dvoryanstvo.On theoppositefront,theconservativepress and "patriotic"authors(A.S.Norov and P.A.Vyazemsky amongthem) were accusingTolstoyof consciouslydistortingthe1812history,desecratingthe"patrioticfeelings of ourfathers"andridiculingdvoryanstvo.[18]
• Oneof the firstcomprehensivearticles on thenovel was thatof Pavel Annenkov,published in#2,1868issueof VestnikEvropy.Thecriticpraised Tolstoy'smasterful portrayal of man atwar,marveled atthecomplexityof thewholecomposition,organicallymerginghistorical factsandfiction."Thedazzlingsideof thenovel",accordingto Annenkov,was "thenatural simplicity with which[theauthor] transports theworldlyaffairsand bigsocial eventsdownto thelevel of a character who witnesses them." Annekovthoughtthehistorical galleryof thenovel was incompletewith thetwo "greatraznotchintsys",SperanskyandArakcheev,anddeplored thefactthattheauthorstopped atintroducingto thenovel "thisrelativelyrough butoriginal element".In theend thecriticcalled thenovel "thewholeepochin theRussianfiction".[18]
• Slavophiles declaredTolstoytheir"bogatyr"andpronouncedWarandPeace"theBibleof thenew national idea".Several articleson WarandPeacewerepublished in1869–1870in Zaryamagazineby Nikolai Strakhov."War and Peaceisthework of genius,equal to everythingthattheRussianliteraturehas produced before,"hepronounced inthefirst,smaller essay."Itis nowquiteclearthatfrom1868 when theWar and Peacewas published thevery essenceof what we call Russianliteraturehasbecomequitedifferent,acquiredthenewformand meaning,"thecriticcontinuedlater. Strakhovwas thefirstcriticin Russiawho declared Tolstoy's novel to bea masterpieceof level previouslyunknown in Russianliterature.Still,beinga trueSlavophile,hecouldnotfail to seethenovel as promotingthemajorSlavophiliac ideasof "meek Russian character'sssupremacy over therapaciousEuropeankind"(using Apollon Grigoriev's formula).Yearslater,in 1878,discussing Strakhov's own book TheWorldas a Whole,Tolstoycriticized bothGrigoriev'sconcept(of "Russian meeknessvs.Western
bestiality") andStrakhov's interpretationof it.[21]
• Battleof Schöngrabern byK.Bujnitsky
• Among thereviewers weremilitarymen and authorsspecializingin thewar literature.Mostassessed highlytheartfulnessandrealismof Tolstoy'sbattlescenes.N.Lachinov,a member of the Russky Invalidnewspaper stuff (#69,April 10,1868) calledtheBattleof Schöngrabernscenes"bearingthehighestdegreeof historical and artistictruthfulness"andtotallyagreed with theauthor'sviewon the Battleof Borodino,whichsomeof his opponentsdisputed.Thearmy general and respected militarywriter Mikhail Dragomirov,in anarticlepublished inOruzheinySbornik(TheMilitary Almanac,1868-1870),whiledisputingsomeof Tolstoy'sideas concerningthe"spontaneity"of wars andtheroleof commander inbattles,advised all theRussianArmy officers to useWarandPeaceas theirdeskbook,describingits battlescenes as "incomparable"and "servingfor an ideal manual to everytextbookon theories of militaryart."[18]
• Unlikeprofessional literary critics,mostprominentRussianwriters of thetimesupportedthenovel wholeheartedly. Goncharov,Turgenev,Leskov,DostoyevskyandFethaveall goneon recordas declaringWar and Peacethemasterpieceof theRussianliterature.IvanGoncharov ina July 17,1878,letter to PyotrGanzen advised himto choosefor translatinginto DanishWarandPeace,adding:"Thisis positivelywhatmightbecalleda RussianIlyad.Embracingthewholeepoch,itis thegrandioseliteraryevent,showcasingthegalleryof greatmen painted bya lively brushof thegreatmaster...This is oneof themost,if notthemost profoundliteraryworkever.[22] In 1879,unhappy with GanzenhavingchosenAnna Karenina to startwith, Goncharov insisted:"War and Peaceis theextraordinarypoemof a novel,both incontentand execution.Italsoserves asa monumentto Russianhistory'sglorious epochwhen whateverfigureyou takeis a colossus,a statuein bronze.Even [thenovel's] minorcharacters carry all thecharacteristicfeatures of theRussian peopleandits life."[23] In1885,expressing
satisfactionwith thefactthatTolstoy'sworkshavenowbeen translated into Danish, Goncharov againstressed theimmenseimportanceof War andPeace."CountTolstoyreallymounts over everybodyelsehere[in Russia],"heremarked.[24]
• FyodorDostoyevsky(in a May30,1871,letter to Strakhov) described WarandPeaceas "thelastword of thelandlord'sliteratureandthebrilliantoneatthat".In a draftversionof theTeenager novel hedescribedTolstoyas "a historiographof thedvoryanstvo,orrather,its cultural elite.""Theobjectivity and realismimpartwonderful charmto all scenes,andalongsidepeopleof talent,honouranddutyheexposes numerous scoundrels,worthlessgoons and fools,"headded.[25] In1876 Dostoyevskywrote:"My strongconvictionis thata writer of fictionhasto havemostprofoundknowledge- notonlyof thepoetic sideof hisart,butalso thereality hedeals with,inits historical as well ascontemporarycontext.Here[in Russia],as far asI seeit,only onewriter excels inthis,CountLev Tolstoy."[26]
• Nikolai Leskov,then an anonymousreviewer in BirzhevyVestnik(TheStock ExchangeHerald),wroteseveral articles praisinghighly War and Peace,callingit"thebestever Russian historical novel"and"theprideof thecontemporaryliterature".Marvelingattherealismand factual truthfulnessof Tolstoy'sbook, Leskovthoughttheauthordeserved thespecial creditfor "havinglifted up thepeople's spiritupon thehigh pedestal itdeserved". "Whileworkingmostelaboratelyuponindividual characters,theauthor,apparently,hasbeen studyingmostdiligentlythecharacterof thenationas a whole;thelifeof peoplewhosemoral strength cameto beconcentrated intheArmy thatcameup to fightmighty Napoleon.In thisrespectthenovel of CountTolstoycouldbeseen as an epicof theGreatnational warwhich upuntil nowhashadits historiansbutnever had itssingers," Leskov wrote.[18]
• Afanasy Fet,in a January1,1870,letter to Tolstoy,expressed hisgreatdelightwith thenovel."You'vemanaged to showus in greatdetail theother,mundanesideof lifeand explainhoworganically does itfeed theouter,heroic sideof it,"headded.[27]
• Ivan Turgenev graduallyre-considered his initial skepticismas to thenovel’s historical aspectandalsothestyleof Tolstoy's psychological analysis.Inhis1880articlewritten in theformof a letter addressedto EdmondAbou,theeditorof theFrench newspaperLeXIX-eSiecle,TurgenevdescribedTolstoyas "themostpopularRussianwriter"and War andPeaceas "oneof themostremarkablebooks of ourage".[28] "Thisvastworkhasthespiritof an epic,wherethelifeof Russiaof thebeginningof our century ingeneral and indetails has been recreated bythehandof a truemaster...Themanner in which CountTolstoyconductshistreatiseis innovativeandoriginal.Thisis thegreatwork of a greatwriter,andin itthere’s true,real Russia,"Turgenevwrote.[29] Itwas largely dueto Turgenev'sefforts thatthenovel startedto gain popularitywith theEuropeanreadership.ThefirstFrench editionof theWar andPeace(1879) paved theway for theworldwidesuccess of Leo Tolstoy and hisworks.[18]
• Sincethen many world famousauthorshavepraised Warand Peaceas a masterpieceof theworld literature. GustaveFlaubertexpressedhisdelightin a January1880letter to Turgenev,writing:"This isthefirstclasswork!Whatanartistand whata psychologist!Thefirsttwo volumes areexquisite.I used to utter shrieksof delightwhilereading.Thisispowerful, verypowerful indeed."[30] Later JohnGalsworthy called WarandPeace"thebestnovel thathadever been written". RomainRolland,rememberinghis readingthenovel as a student,wrote:"this work,likelifeitself,has nobeginning,no end.Itis lifeitself inits eternal movement."[31] Thomas MannthoughtWarand Peaceto be"thegreatestever war novel in thehistoryof literature."[32] ErnestHemingway confessed thatitwas fromTolstoythathe'd been takinglessonson howto "writeaboutwar inthemoststraightforward,honest,objectiveandstarkway.""I don'tknowanybodywho couldwriteaboutwar better thanTolstoy did,"Hemingwayasserted in his1955 Men atWar.TheBestWar Stories of All Timeanthology.[18]
• IsaakBabel said,after readingWarandPeace,"If theworld could writeby itself,itwouldwritelikeTolstoy."[33] Tolstoy "givesus a uniquecombinationof the'naiveobjectivity' of theoral narratorwith theinterestindetail characteristic of realism.This isthereason forourtrustin hispresentation."[34]

Scientists Urge Temporary Moratorium
On Human Genome Edits 20 March 2015
A new technology called CRISPR could allow scientists to alter the
human genetic code for generations. That's causing some leading
biologists and bioethicists to sound an alarm. They're calling for a
worldwide moratorium on any attempts to alter the code, at least
until there's been time for far more research and discussion.
For the first time, scientists have edited DNA in
human embryos, a highly controversial step long
considered off limits.
Junjiu Huang and his colleagues at the Sun Yat-
sen University in Guangzhou, China, performed a
series of experiments involving 86 human
embryos to see if they could make changes in a
gene known as HBB, which causes the sometimes
fatal blood disorder beta-thalassemia.

  • 4. Outline • War and Peaceis well known as beingoneof thelongestnovelsever written,thoughnotthelongest.Itis actuallytheseventh longestnovel ever written in a Latinor Cyrillicbased alphabetandis subdividedintofourbooksor volumes,eachwith subpartscontainingmany chapters.[citationneeded] • Tolstoy never documentedwhy in 1867hechanged thenameof his novel fromTheYear 1805to War and Peace.Hemay haveborrowed thetitlefromthe1861 workof Pierre-JosephProudhon:La Guerreetla Paix ('Warand Peace' in French),.[4] Thetitlemay alsobeanotherreferenceto Titus,who is described asbeinga master of "war and peace"in TheTwelveCaesars,written by Suetonius in119CE.Titus (anglicizedto "Tit"by someEnglishtranslations) is mentioned several times in WarandPeaceandmay bea musefor thecharacters,strugglingto master their own lives through the dramatictransitions of war andpeace. • He began writingWar andPeacein theyear thathefinallymarried and settleddownathis countryestate.Thefirsthalf of thebook was written under thename"1805". • Duringthewritingof thesecond half,heread widelyand acknowledged Schopenhauer asoneof hismain inspirations.However, Tolstoydeveloped his own views of historyandtheroleof theindividual within it.[9] • The firstdraftof War andPeacewas completed in1863.In 1865,theperiodical RusskiyVestnik published thefirstpartof this earlyversion under thetitle1805.Inthefollowingyear,itpublished moreof thesameearly version.Tolstoywas dissatisfiedwith thisversion,although heallowed several partsof itto bepublishedwith a different endingin 1867,still underthesametitle"1805".Heheavilyrewrotetheentirenovel between 1866and1869.[5][9] Tolstoy's wife,SophiaTolstaya,copiedas manyas seven separatecompletemanuscripts byhandbeforeTolstoyconsidered itagainready forpublication.[9] Theversionthatwas published inRusskiyVestnik had a verydifferentendingfromtheversion eventuallypublished underthetitleWar andPeacein 1869. • The completed novel was then called Voynai mir (newstyleorthography;in EnglishWarandPeace). • The 1805 manuscript(sometimes referred to as "theoriginal War andPeace") was re-edited andannotated in Russiain 1983 and sincehas been translated separatelyfromthe"known"version,to English,German,French,Spanish,Dutch,Swedish,Finnish,Albanian,andKorean.Thefactthatso many versionsof War and Peacesurvivemakeitoneof the bestinsightsintothemental processes of a greatnovelist. • Russianswho had read theserialized versionwereanxiousto acquirethecompletefirstedition,whichincluded epilogues,anditsoldoutalmostimmediately.Thenovel was translated almostimmediatelyafter publication intomany other languages. • The novel canbegenerally classified ashistorical fiction.Itcontainselements presentin manytypes of popular18th and 19th centuryliterature,especially theromancenovel.War and Peaceattainsits literary statusby transcendinggenres. • Tolstoy was instrumental in bringinga newkind of consciousnessto thenovel.Hisnarrativestructureis noted forits "god-like"abilityto hoveroverandwithinevents,butalso intheway itswiftly and seamlesslyportrayeda particularcharacter's pointof view.His useof visual detail isoften cinematic inits scope,usingtheliterary equivalentsof panning,wideshots and close-ups,to givedramaticinterestto battlesandballroomsalike.Thesedevices,whilenotexclusiveto Tolstoy,arepartof thenew styleof thenovel thatarosein themid-19th century and of whichTolstoyprovedhimself a master.[10] • Tolstoy incorporated extensivehistorical research.Hewas alsoinfluencedby manyothernovels.[9] Aveteran of theCrimean War,Tolstoywas quitecritical of standardhistory,especiallythestandardsof militaryhistory,inWarandPeace.Tolstoyreadall thestandard histories availablein Russian and FrenchabouttheNapoleonic Warsand combined moretraditional historical writingwith thenovel form.Heexplains atthestartof thenovel's thirdvolumehisown views onhowhistory oughtto bewritten.His aimwas to blurthelinebetween fictionandhistory,in orderto get closer to thetruth,as hestates in VolumeII. • The novel is set60 yearsearlier than when Tolstoywroteit,"in thedays of ourgrandfathers,"as heputsit.Hehad spoken with peoplewho had lived throughwar duringtheFrench invasion of Russia in1812,so thebookisalso,in part,accurateethnography fictionalized.Heread letters,journals,autobiographical andbiographical materials pertainingto Napoleon andthedozens of otherhistorical characters inthenovel.Thereareapproximately160real personsnamed or referred to in Warand Peace.[11] • Although Tolstoy wrotemostof thebook,includingall thenarration,in Russian,significantportionsof dialogue(including its openingparagraph) arewritten in Frenchandcharactersoften switchbetween thetwo languages.Thisreflected 19th century Russianaristocracy,whereFrench,a foreign tongue,was widely spokenandconsidered a languageof prestigeandmorerefined thanRussian.[12] This cameaboutfromthehistorical influencethroughoutEuropeof thepowerful courtof theSun King,LouisXIV of France,leadingto members of theRussianaristocracybeingless competentinspeakingtheirmother tongue.In WarandPeace,for example,JulieKaragina,PrincessMarya's friend,hasto takeRussianlessonsin order to master her nativelanguage. • Ithas been suggested[13] thatitis a deliberateliterarydeviceemployed by Tolstoy,to useFrenchto portrayartificeand insincerity asthelanguageof thetheater and deceitwhileRussianemerges as a languageof sincerity,honesty andseriousness. Itdisplaysslightirony thatas Pierreandothers socializeand useFrench phrases,they will beattacked by legionsof Bonapartists in a veryshorttime.Itis sometimes used in satireagainstNapoleon.In thenovel,when Pierreproposes to Hélène,hespeaksto her in French—Jevousaime("I loveyou").When themarriagelater emerges to bea sham,Pierreblames thoseFrenchwords. • The useof French diminishes as thebook progresses and thewars with theFrenchintensify,culminatingin thecaptureandeventual burningof Moscow.Theprogressiveeliminationof Frenchfromthetextis a means of demonstratingthatRussia hasfreed itself fromforeigncultural domination.[13] Itis also,atthelevel of plotdevelopment,a way of showingthata once-admiredandfriendly nation,France,has turnedintoan enemy.By midway through thebook,several of theRussianaristocracy,whosecommandof Frenchis farbetter than theircommandof Russian,areanxiousto findRussiantutorsfor themselves. • War and Peacehasbeen translatedintomany languages.Ithasbeen translatedintoEnglishon several occasions,startingwith ClaraBell workingfroma Frenchtranslation.Thetranslators ConstanceGarnettandLouiseand Aylmer MaudeknewTolstoy personally.Translations haveto deal with Tolstoy’soften peculiarsyntax andhisfondnessfor repetitions.About2%of War and Peaceis inFrench;TolstoyremovedtheFrenchin a revised 1873edition,only to restoreitlater.[13] Mosttranslators followGarnettretainingsomeFrench,Briggs usesno French,whilePevear-Volokhonskyand Amy Mandelker's revisionof theMaudetranslationbothretain theFrenchfully.[13] (For a listof translationsseebelow) • The novel begins intheyear 1805duringthereign of Tsar Alexander I andleadsup to the1812Frenchinvasion of Russia byNapoleon.Theera of CatherinetheGreat(1762–1796),when theroyal courtin Paris was thecentreof western Europeancivilization,[14] is still freshin theminds of olderpeople.Catherine,fluentin French andwishingto reshapeRussiainto a greatEuropeannation,madeFrench thelanguageof her royal court.For thenextonehundred years,itbecamea social requirementfor members of theRussiannobility to speak FrenchandunderstandFrenchculture.[14] Thishistorical andcultural contextin thearistocracyis reflected inWarandPeace.Catherine's grandson,AlexanderI,cameto thethronein 1801attheageof 24.In thenovel,hismother,MaryaFeodorovna,isthemostpowerful woman intheRussiancourt. • War and Peacetellsthestoryof fivearistocraticfamilies—theBezukhovs,theBolkonskys,theRostovs,theKuragins and theDrubetskoys—andtheentanglementsof their personal lives with thethen contemporary historyof 1805 to 1813,principally Napoleon'sinvasionof Russiain 1812.TheBezukhovs,whileveryrich,area fragmented familyas theoldCount, Kirill Vladimirovich,has fathered dozensof illegitimatesons.TheBolkonskys arean old establishedandwealthyfamilybased atBaldHills.OldPrince Bolkonsky,Nikolai Andreevich,servedas a general underCatherinetheGreat,in earlierwars.TheMoscowRostovs havemanyestates,butneverenough cash.They area closely knit,lovingfamily who livefor themomentregardlessof their financial situation.TheKuraginfamily hasthreechildren,who areall of questionablecharacter.TheDrubetskoy familyisof impoverished nobility,andconsistsof an elderlymother andher onlyson,Boris,whomshewishesto push upthe career ladder. • Tolstoy spentyearsresearchingandrewritingthebook.Heworked fromprimary sourcematerials(interviewsandother documents),as well asfromhistorybooks,philosophy texts and other historical novels.[9] Tolstoy also used a greatdeal of his own experienceintheCrimeanWarto bringvivid detail andfirst-handaccounts of howtheRussianarmy was structured.[15] • The standard Russiantextof War and Peaceis dividedintofourbooks(fifteen parts) andan epiloguein two parts –onemainlynarrative,theother thematic.Whileroughlythefirsthalf of thenovel is concerned strictly with thefictional characters, thelater parts,aswell as oneof thework's two epilogues,increasinglyconsistof essays aboutthenatureof war,power,history,andhistoriography.Tolstoy interspersedtheseessaysinto thestoryina way thatdefies previousfictional convention.Certain abridged versionsremovetheseessaysentirely,whileothers,published even duringTolstoy's life,simplymoved theseessays intoan appendix. • CountPyotrKirillovich (Pierre) Bezukhov:Thelarge-bodied,ungainly,andsocially awkward illegitimateson of an old Russiangrandee.Pierre,educated abroad,returns to Russiaas a misfit.Hisunexpected inheritanceof a

theRussianliterature"(accordingto IvanGoncharov)[17][18] enjoyed greatsuccesswith thereadingpublic uponits publicationand spawned dozensof reviews andanalytical essaysin thepress,someof which (by Pisarev,Annenkov,Dragomirovand Strakhov) formed thebasisfor theresearch of laterTolstoyscholars.[18] Yet theRussianpress's initial responseto thenovel was muted,mostcriticsfeelingbewilderedby thismammoth workthey couldn’tdecidehowto classify.Theliberal newspaper Golos (TheVoice,April 3,#93,1865) was oneof thefirstto react.Its anonymousreviewer poseda question later repeated bymanyothers:"Whatcould this possiblybe? Whatkindof genrearewe supposed to fileitto?..Whereis fictioninit,and whereis real history?"[18] • Leonid Pasternak's 1893illustrationto War and Peace" • Writer andcriticNikolai Akhsharumov,writingin VsemirnyTrud(#6,1867) suggested thatWar andPeacewas "neithera chronicle,nor a historical novel",buta genremerger,this ambiguity neverunderminingits immensevalue.Pavel Annenkov,who praised thenovel too,was equallyvaguewhen tryingto classifyit."Thecultural historyof onelargesectionof our society,thepolitical and social panoramaof itin thebeginningof thecurrentcentury,"was hissuggestion."Itis the[social] epic,thehistory novel and thevastpictureof thewholenation'slife,"wroteIvan Turgenev inhisbid to defineWar and Peaceintheforewordfor his Frenchtranslationof "TheTwo Hussars"(publishedin ParisbyLeTemps in 1875). • In general,theliterary leftreceivedthenovel coldly.They sawitas totallydevoid of social critique,andkeen on theidea of national unity.They sawits majorfaultas the"...author'sinability to portraya newkindof revolutionary intelligentsiain his novel,"as criticVarfoomey Zaytsev putit.[19] Articles byD.Minayev,V.Bervi-FlerovskyandN.ShelgunovinDelomagazinecharacterizedthenovel as "lackingrealism",showingits charactersas "cruel andrough","mentallystoned","morally depraved"and promoting"thephilosophyof stagnation".Still,Mikhail Saltykov-Schedrin,who neverexpressedhisopinion of thenovel publicly,in theprivateconversation was reportedto haveexpresseddelightwith "howstrongly this Counthas stungourhighersociety".[20] DmitryPisarev in hisunfinished article"Russian Gentryof Old"(Staroyebarstvo,OtechestvennyeZapiski,#2,1868) whilepraisingTolstoy's realismin portrayingmembers of high society,still was unhappywith theway theauthor,as hesawit,'idealized' theoldnobility,expressing"unconsciousandquitenatural tendernesstowards"the Russian dvoryanstvo.On theoppositefront,theconservativepress and "patriotic"authors(A.S.Norov and P.A.Vyazemsky amongthem) were accusingTolstoyof consciouslydistortingthe1812history,desecratingthe"patrioticfeelings of ourfathers"andridiculingdvoryanstvo.[18] • Oneof the firstcomprehensivearticles on thenovel was thatof Pavel Annenkov,published in#2,1868issueof VestnikEvropy.Thecriticpraised Tolstoy'smasterful portrayal of man atwar,marveled atthecomplexityof thewholecomposition,organicallymerginghistorical factsandfiction."Thedazzlingsideof thenovel",accordingto Annenkov,was "thenatural simplicity with which[theauthor] transports theworldlyaffairsand bigsocial eventsdownto thelevel of a character who witnesses them." Annekovthoughtthehistorical galleryof thenovel was incompletewith thetwo "greatraznotchintsys",SperanskyandArakcheev,anddeplored thefactthattheauthorstopped atintroducingto thenovel "thisrelativelyrough butoriginal element".In theend thecriticcalled thenovel "thewholeepochin theRussianfiction".[18] • Slavophiles declaredTolstoytheir"bogatyr"andpronouncedWarandPeace"theBibleof thenew national idea".Several articleson WarandPeacewerepublished in1869–1870in Zaryamagazineby Nikolai Strakhov."War and Peaceisthework of genius,equal to everythingthattheRussianliteraturehas produced before,"hepronounced inthefirst,smaller essay."Itis nowquiteclearthatfrom1868 when theWar and Peacewas published thevery essenceof what we call Russianliteraturehasbecomequitedifferent,acquiredthenewformand meaning,"thecriticcontinuedlater. Strakhovwas thefirstcriticin Russiawho declared Tolstoy's novel to bea masterpieceof level previouslyunknown in Russianliterature.Still,beinga trueSlavophile,hecouldnotfail to seethenovel as promotingthemajorSlavophiliac ideasof "meek Russian character'sssupremacy over therapaciousEuropeankind"(using Apollon Grigoriev's formula).Yearslater,in 1878,discussing Strakhov's own book TheWorldas a Whole,Tolstoycriticized bothGrigoriev'sconcept(of "Russian meeknessvs.Western bestiality") andStrakhov's interpretationof it.[21] • Battleof Schöngrabern byK.Bujnitsky • Among thereviewers weremilitarymen and authorsspecializingin thewar literature.Mostassessed highlytheartfulnessandrealismof Tolstoy'sbattlescenes.N.Lachinov,a member of the Russky Invalidnewspaper stuff (#69,April 10,1868) calledtheBattleof Schöngrabernscenes"bearingthehighestdegreeof historical and artistictruthfulness"andtotallyagreed with theauthor'sviewon the Battleof Borodino,whichsomeof his opponentsdisputed.Thearmy general and respected militarywriter Mikhail Dragomirov,in anarticlepublished inOruzheinySbornik(TheMilitary Almanac,1868-1870),whiledisputingsomeof Tolstoy'sideas concerningthe"spontaneity"of wars andtheroleof commander inbattles,advised all theRussianArmy officers to useWarandPeaceas theirdeskbook,describingits battlescenes as "incomparable"and "servingfor an ideal manual to everytextbookon theories of militaryart."[18] • Unlikeprofessional literary critics,mostprominentRussianwriters of thetimesupportedthenovel wholeheartedly. Goncharov,Turgenev,Leskov,DostoyevskyandFethaveall goneon recordas declaringWar and Peacethemasterpieceof theRussianliterature.IvanGoncharov ina July 17,1878,letter to PyotrGanzen advised himto choosefor translatinginto DanishWarandPeace,adding:"Thisis positivelywhatmightbecalleda RussianIlyad.Embracingthewholeepoch,itis thegrandioseliteraryevent,showcasingthegalleryof greatmen painted bya lively brushof thegreatmaster...This is oneof themost,if notthemost profoundliteraryworkever.[22] In 1879,unhappy with GanzenhavingchosenAnna Karenina to startwith, Goncharov insisted:"War and Peaceis theextraordinarypoemof a novel,both incontentand execution.Italsoserves asa monumentto Russianhistory'sglorious epochwhen whateverfigureyou takeis a colossus,a statuein bronze.Even [thenovel's] minorcharacters carry all thecharacteristicfeatures of theRussian peopleandits life."[23] In1885,expressing satisfactionwith thefactthatTolstoy'sworkshavenowbeen translated into Danish, Goncharov againstressed theimmenseimportanceof War andPeace."CountTolstoyreallymounts over everybodyelsehere[in Russia],"heremarked.[24] • FyodorDostoyevsky(in a May30,1871,letter to Strakhov) described WarandPeaceas "thelastword of thelandlord'sliteratureandthebrilliantoneatthat".In a draftversionof theTeenager novel hedescribedTolstoyas "a historiographof thedvoryanstvo,orrather,its cultural elite.""Theobjectivity and realismimpartwonderful charmto all scenes,andalongsidepeopleof talent,honouranddutyheexposes numerous scoundrels,worthlessgoons and fools,"headded.[25] In1876 Dostoyevskywrote:"My strongconvictionis thata writer of fictionhasto havemostprofoundknowledge- notonlyof thepoetic sideof hisart,butalso thereality hedeals with,inits historical as well ascontemporarycontext.Here[in Russia],as far asI seeit,only onewriter excels inthis,CountLev Tolstoy."[26] • Nikolai Leskov,then an anonymousreviewer in BirzhevyVestnik(TheStock ExchangeHerald),wroteseveral articles praisinghighly War and Peace,callingit"thebestever Russian historical novel"and"theprideof thecontemporaryliterature".Marvelingattherealismand factual truthfulnessof Tolstoy'sbook, Leskovthoughttheauthordeserved thespecial creditfor "havinglifted up thepeople's spiritupon thehigh pedestal itdeserved". "Whileworkingmostelaboratelyuponindividual characters,theauthor,apparently,hasbeen studyingmostdiligentlythecharacterof thenationas a whole;thelifeof peoplewhosemoral strength cameto beconcentrated intheArmy thatcameup to fightmighty Napoleon.In thisrespectthenovel of CountTolstoycouldbeseen as an epicof theGreatnational warwhich upuntil nowhashadits historiansbutnever had itssingers," Leskov wrote.[18] • Afanasy Fet,in a January1,1870,letter to Tolstoy,expressed hisgreatdelightwith thenovel."You'vemanaged to showus in greatdetail theother,mundanesideof lifeand explainhoworganically does itfeed theouter,heroic sideof it,"headded.[27] • Ivan Turgenev graduallyre-considered his initial skepticismas to thenovel’s historical aspectandalsothestyleof Tolstoy's psychological analysis.Inhis1880articlewritten in theformof a letter addressedto EdmondAbou,theeditorof theFrench newspaperLeXIX-eSiecle,TurgenevdescribedTolstoyas "themostpopularRussianwriter"and War andPeaceas "oneof themostremarkablebooks of ourage".[28] "Thisvastworkhasthespiritof an epic,wherethelifeof Russiaof thebeginningof our century ingeneral and indetails has been recreated bythehandof a truemaster...Themanner in which CountTolstoyconductshistreatiseis innovativeandoriginal.Thisis thegreatwork of a greatwriter,andin itthere’s true,real Russia,"Turgenevwrote.[29] Itwas largely dueto Turgenev'sefforts thatthenovel startedto gain popularitywith theEuropeanreadership.ThefirstFrench editionof theWar andPeace(1879) paved theway for theworldwidesuccess of Leo Tolstoy and hisworks.[18] • Sincethen many world famousauthorshavepraised Warand Peaceas a masterpieceof theworld literature. GustaveFlaubertexpressedhisdelightin a January1880letter to Turgenev,writing:"This isthefirstclasswork!Whatanartistand whata psychologist!Thefirsttwo volumes areexquisite.I used to utter shrieksof delightwhilereading.Thisispowerful, verypowerful indeed."[30] Later JohnGalsworthy called WarandPeace"thebestnovel thathadever been written". RomainRolland,rememberinghis readingthenovel as a student,wrote:"this work,likelifeitself,has nobeginning,no end.Itis lifeitself inits eternal movement."[31] Thomas MannthoughtWarand Peaceto be"thegreatestever war novel in thehistoryof literature."[32] ErnestHemingway confessed thatitwas fromTolstoythathe'd been takinglessonson howto "writeaboutwar inthemoststraightforward,honest,objectiveandstarkway.""I don'tknowanybodywho couldwriteaboutwar better thanTolstoy did,"Hemingwayasserted in his1955 Men atWar.TheBestWar Stories of All Timeanthology.[18] • IsaakBabel said,after readingWarandPeace,"If theworld could writeby itself,itwouldwritelikeTolstoy."[33] Tolstoy "givesus a uniquecombinationof the'naiveobjectivity' of theoral narratorwith theinterestindetail characteristic of realism.This isthereason forourtrustin hispresentation."[34]

  2. In just one decade, the Internet will be a “seamless part of how we live our everyday lives”. Or it could be the means to a “very dystopian world that is also profoundly inegalitarian.” “The Internet will shift from the place we find cat videos to a background capability that will be a seamless part of how we live our everyday lives. We won’t think about ‘going online’ or ‘looking on the Internet’ for something – we’ll just be online, and just look,” he said. But another perspective comes from John Markoff, senior writer for the Science section of the New York Times. “What happens the first time you answer the phone and hear from your mother or a close friend, but it’s actually not, and instead, it’s a piece of malware that is designed to social engineer you?” he asked. “What kind of a world will we have crossed over into? I basically began as an Internet utopian, but I have since realized that the technical and social forces that have been unleashed by the microprocessor hold out the potential of a very dystopian world that is also profoundly inegalitarian. I often find myself thinking, ‘Who said it would get better?’”

Striking patterns were found in the responses of nearly 2,600 experts and technology builders, they wrote. “These experts foresee an ambient information environment where accessing the Internet will be effortless and most people will tap into it so easily it will flow through their lives ‘like electricity.’” The experts predict “mobile, wearable, and embedded computing will be tied together in the Internet of Things, allowing people and their surroundings to tap into artificial intelligence-enhanced cloud-based information storage and sharing.”

The end goal of RAM is to develop and test a wireless, fully implantable neural-interface medical device for human clinical use Development of multi-scale computational models with high spatial and temporal resolution that describe how neurons code declarative memories—those well-defined parcels of knowledge that can be consciously recalled and described in words, such as events, times, and places. IN VIVO NANOPLATFORMS (IVN) Seeks to develop new classes of adaptable nanoparticles for persistent, distributed, unobtrusive physiologic and environmental sensing as well as the treatment of physiologic abnormalities, illness, and infectious disease. NEURO FUNCTION, ACTIVITY, STRUCTURE, AND TECHNOLOGY (NEURO-FAST)  The program seeks to enable unprecedented visualization and decoding of brain activity. MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS The platform should be a flexible, user-friendly and reliable design that allows biological components to interact in a physiologically relevant manner and able to sustain the resident tissues for up to four weeks. BIOCHRONICITY (Much like NTP) Time is a fundamental variable in all science, including biology.  Biological clocks regulate almost every function in the human body, yet scientists lack a clear understanding of the coordination of timing on multiple scales to influence processes such as cell-cycle progression, growth, metabolism, aging and cell death.
  5. Each nerve is a cordlike structure that contains many axons, also called nerve fibres. Within a nerve, each axon is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the endoneurium. The axons are bundled together into groups called fascicles, and each fascicle is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the perineurium. The entire nerve is wrapped in a layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. A nerve conveys information in the form of electrochemical impulses (known as nerve impulses or action potentials) carried by the individual neurons that make up the nerve. These impulses are extremely fast, with some myelinated neurons conducting at speeds up to 120 m/s. The impulses travel from one neuron to another by crossing a synapse, the message is converted from electrical to chemical and then back to electrical.
  6. The IVN Diagnostics (IVN:Dx) program effort aims to develop a generalized in vivo platform that provides continuous physiological monitoring for the warfighter. Specifically, IVN:Dx investigates technologies that provide: Implantable nanoplatforms using bio-compatible and nontoxic materials In vivo sensing of small and large molecules of biological interest Multiplexed detection of analytes at clinically relevant concentrations External interrogation of the nanoplatform free from any implanted communications electronics The IVN Therapeutics (IVN:Tx) program effort seeks unobtrusive nanoplatforms for rapidly treating disease in warfighters. This program aims to develop nanotherapeutics that: Increase safety and minimize the dose required for clinically relevant efficacy Limit off-target effects Limit immunogenicity Increase effectiveness by targeting delivery to specific tissues and/or uptake by cells of interest Increase bioavailability Knock down medically relevant molecular target(s) Increase resistance to degradation Successful nanotherapeutic platforms should enable prevention and treatment of military-relevant diseases such as infections caused by multi-drug resistant organisms.

  8. CRISPR-Cas systems for editing, regulating and targeting genomes Targeted genome editing using engineered nucleases has rapidly gone from being a niche technology to a mainstream method used by many biological researchers. This widespread adoption has been largely fueled by the emergence of the clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) technology, an important new approach for generating RNA-guided nucleases, such as Cas9, with customizable specificities. Genome editing mediated by these nucleases has been used to rapidly, easily and efficiently modify endogenous genes in a wide variety of biomedically important cell types and in organisms that have traditionally been challenging to manipulate genetically. Furthermore, a modified version of the CRISPR-Cas9 system has been developed to recruit heterologous domains that can regulate endogenous gene expression or label specific genomic loci in living cells. Although the genome-wide specificities of CRISPR-Cas9 systems remain to be fully defined, the power of these systems to perform targeted, highly efficient alterations of genome sequence and gene expression will undoubtedly transform biological research and spur the development of novel molecular therapeutics for human disease.

Chris Rock – How To Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police Beta thalassemias are a group of inherited blood disorders. oxygen carrying hemoglobin molecule is altered by genetic mutations They are caused by reduced or absent synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin that result in variable outcomes ranging from severe anemia to clinically asymptomatic individuals. Global annual incidence is estimated at 1 in 100,000. “The genetic changes to embryos, known as germline modification, are heritable, they could have an unpredictable effect on future generations.”

  11. White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All leukocytes are produced and derived from a multipotent cell in the bone marrow known as a hematopoietic stem cell. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system. Circulatory System Arteries, Capillaries, Veins Macrophages (Greek: big eaters, from makros "large" + phagein "eat"; abbr. MΦ) are a type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells, and anything else that does not have the types of proteins specific to the surface of healthy body cells on its surface[1] in a process called phagocytosis. They are found in essentially all tissues,[3] where they patrol for potential pathogens by amoeboid movement. They play a critical role in non-specific defense (innate immunity), and also help initiate specific defense mechanisms (adaptive immunity) by recruiting other immune cells such as lymphocytes. In humans, dysfunctional macrophages cause severe diseases such as chronic granulomatous disease that result in frequent infections.
