This series explores controversial topics in science and technology by featuring informative essays, both pro and con, on the major theories, ethical questions and commercial applications of science from all disciplines. Comprised of signed articles written exclusively for the series, each Science in Dispute volume covers approximately 30 issues organized in seven general categories: medicine, life science, physical science, astronomy and space exploration, Earth science, mathematics and computer science, and engineering. Each topic is introduced with a general overview and concludes with a list of key terms and suggestions for further reading sources. Additional features include sidebars featuring biographical profiles of the major players related to the topic; approximately 90 illustrations per volume; and a cumulative subject index.
In The Force of Reason Fallaci takes aim at the many attacks and death threats she received after the publication of The Rage and the Pride. Oriana begins by identifying herself with one Master Cecco, the author of a heretical book who was burnt at the stake during the Inquisition seven centuries ago on account of his beliefs, and proceeds with a rigorous analysis of the burning of Troy and the creation of a Europe that, to her judgment, is no longer her familiar homeland but rather a place best called Eurabia, a soon-to-be colony of Islam. She explores her ideas in historical, philosophical, moral, and political terms, courageously addressing taboo topics with sharp logic.
This practical series includes a number of specialist titles which help students communicate more effectively. Each book contains over 60 tests and over 500 key words and expressions. They are ideal for class use or self-study.

Farming Tales is designed to illustrate the value and benefits of
agricultural science to the community. The package involves children of
eight to ten years old in a range of active learning, developed from
real life contexts or 'stories' taken from the agrochemical industry.
Science is exciting and relevant, and part of the aim of this
resource is to show that the same science taught in schools is used in
the world outside the classroom to solve real problems.The package
offers information on food production, the use of pesticides and an
opportunity for primary schools to become closely involved with an
industry.
