The study of the relationship between natural language and spatial cognition has the potential to yield answers to vexing questions about the nature of the mind, language, and culture. The fifteen original contributions in Language and Space bring together the major lines of research and the most important theoretical viewpoints in the areas of psychology, linguistics, anthropology, and neuroscience, providing a much needed synthesis across these diverse domains.
The aim of the Space Exploration annuals is to provide a yearly update on recent space launches, missions and results, to be published every September in a format that will be suitable for, and appeal to, the Christmas market. The annual will cover space exploration from a variety of angles, looking back at past missions, reviewing those currently under way and detailing those planned for the future, and encompassing both manned and unmanned spaceflight.
Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Pollution Solutions
Humans are messy; we dump nonbiodegradable products that choke landfills and leave toxic wastes, pesticides, and other hazardous substances all over the world. In outer space, there is debris from rockets and satellites, in addition to trash from space shuttles. The pollution situation is getting worse, and the Science Guy is very concerned. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Pollution Solution, he explains to his audience that humans need to find ways to cut down on the things that are polluting the air, land, and water supplies of the Earth if the planet is to survive.
