Learning to speak a foreign language fluently and without an accent isn’t easy. In most educational systems, students spend many years studying grammatical rules, but they don’t get much of the chance to speak. Arriving in a new county can be a frustrating experience. Although, they may be able to read and write very well, they often that they can’t understand what the people say to them. English is especially difficult. Because pronunciation of words is not clearly shown by how they are written. But the major problem is being able to listen, think and respond in another language at a natural speed. This takes time and practice. AMERICAN ENGLISH
No other species in Earth's history has been able to disregard the natural laws that govern population size quite like humans have. And as a result we have experienced an unfathomable population explosion: a nearly 7-fold increase in three centuries and from 3 billion to 6.6 billion in just 45 years (1961 to 2006). But population growth has come with an increase in resource consumption, which has created a number of environmental problems: Farmland is being degraded, fresh water is becoming polluted, fish are being overharvested, forests are being flattened, fossil fuel emissions are driving global warming, and the list goes on. Many scientists suggest that society must now develop sustainably, improving the current economic and social circumstances while protecting the environment for future generations.The insightful "Humans and Natural Environment" presents these eye-opening facts in a manner accessible to young readers, thanks to its abundant full-color photographs and illustrations, readable text, and helpful sidebars.
This book was one of the earlier books I found on the subject of desert survival. As a quick guide to survival issues in North American deserts, this book is alright, but is somewhat outdated and being so short, is also very short on specifics, being more of a list of 'tips' than a complete guide to surviving in the desert. Information on such things as venomous reptiles, heat illnesses, finding water supplies, is very sketchy. The other issue is how to avoid getting into a 'desert survival' situation in the first place, which this book doesn't cover in much detail. If you have any intention of taking any serious desert trips that involve travel away from populated areas, I would instead recommend reading the Ultimate Desert Handbook by Mark Johnson or Desert Survival Skills
