Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy - Bones & Muscles
The Science Guy uses comedy and music to convey important scientific concepts to students, and it seems to work very well. Even adults find his programs entertaining, because he always provides instruction in a wildly irreverent fashion. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Bones & Muscles, he talks about the skeletal and muscle systems and illustrates them with kid-pleasing effects and graphics.
In City of Bones, Connelly's eighth Bosch title, Bosch and his well-dressed partner, Jerry Edgar, are working to identify a child's skeleton, buried for 20 years in the forest off Hollywood's Wonderland Drive, and to bring the killer to belated justice. For Bosch this is more than just another homicide, as the mystery child, beaten and abandoned, comes to represent much of what he sees as evil in his city.
The creator of fantastic universes of vampires and witches takes us now into the world of Isaiah and Jeremiah, and the destruction of Solomon's Temple, to tell the story of Azriel, Servant of the Bones. He is ghost, genii, demon, angel--pure spirit made visible. He pours his heart out to us as he journeys from an ancient Babylon of royal plottings and religious upheavals to Europe of the Black Death and on to the modern world. There he finds himself, amidst the towers of Manhattan, in confrontation with his own human origins and the dark forces that have sought to condemn him to a life of evil and destruction.
