Coniferous forests are found mainly within the Northern Hemisphere. These forests are made up of mainly cone-bearing trees such as pines, firs and spruces. Learn why their needles seem to keep the forests green all year long. Study the kinds of creatures that inhabit this environment such as the moose, the brown bear and different types of deer.
The study of rocks is an essential part of studying the age and evolution of the Earth. In Rocks, students will examine the characteristics of each of the major types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. From stalactites and stalagmites to intrusive and extrusive rocks, students will examine how rocks are formed in this exciting program. A visit to Mammoth Mountain in California showcases the interesting rock formation known as the Obsidian Dome
This book stems from the experiences gained during the fifteen years we have been involved in compiling and doing research on the Corpus of Early English Correspondence(CEEC), which by now has grown into a small corpus family, altogether covering the years 1403–1800.1 The corpus contains a stratified sample of male and female informants from different geographical locations and as such provides a rich source of material for the study of language variation and change in the history of English.
