The town of Chesters Mill (pop. approximately 2000) is suddenly cut off from the rest of the world by an invisible barrier, preventing anything other than a small amount of air from passing through. What follows is mostly told from the perspective of Dale "Barbie" Barbara, a former Army lieutenant.
Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Ocean Life
In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Ocean Life, the Science Guy takes a look at the small organisms of the sea, including plankton, kelp, and coral. Although many of these life forms are too small to be seen with the naked eye, their importance to larger organisms is enormous. Bill Nye goes down to the depths to investigate phytoplankton and zooplankton and their place in the ocean food chain. His special guest is marine biologist Karen Montano, who visits tide pools with a group of youngsters for a look at the "nurseries of the sea."
This is the first book in the Headway series, but it was published somewhat as an after thought. It really is an excellent book for adults wishing to begin learning English as a foreign language. It presumes no prior knowledge of the language, but it does make use of all those "recent" words such as "radio" or "cassette" that most students are familiar with. It is a very good classroom book, with whole class work as well as small group activities, and the workbook provides useful back-up. PDF version added by Englishcology
