The role of rivers and streams in the environment is the topic in this episode from the Bill Nye the Science Guy series. Bill Nye reveals how and where rivers begin, and where they eventually end up. He shows how they can support a variety of wildlife, including salmon and other fish, but that they have a destructive side too, eroding soil and flooding the land. Nye inserts his usual trademark humor and parody into the scientific discussion to create a fun learning atmosphere.

This book provides an assessment of modern economics that cuts through the confusion and controversy on this question. Case studies of the creation of new markets, the Russian transition to capitalism, globalization, and money and finance establish that economics has been very successful where problems have been well defined and where the world can be changed to fit the theory, but that it has been less successful in tackling bigger problems.
