Another French encyclopedia holds that the German temperament generally can be described as the deep and diverse action of romanticism on German musicians, and that there is only one true representative of Romanticism in French music, Hector Berlioz, while in Italy, the sole great name of musical Romanticism is Giuseppe Verdi, a sort of [Victor] Hugo of opera, gifted with a real genius for dramatic effect.
Suzanne Goldenberg, US environment correspondent. Tuesday 23 August 2011 17.00 EDT First published on Tuesday 23 August 2011 17.00 EDT. Humans share the planet with as many as 8.7 million different forms of life, according to what is being billed as the most accurate estimate yet of life on Earth.
Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described. All known types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development and homeostasis. An organism consists of one or more cells; when it has one cell is a unicellular organism; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism. Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic size and are thus classified as microorganisms.
