A Passage To Antarctica won the second prize in the non-fiction category of the Competition for Writers of Children's Books held in 1985 by CBT. On one side of the horizon was the deep blue sea, on the other was complete creamy whiteness. The ship lay amidst sheets of ice, a metre thick... Penguins stood on the edge of the icy whiteness, occasionally looking in the direction of the explorers. Antarctica, one of earth's 'last frontiers', the highest, windiest, vast, is a continent awaiting, with riches yet to be tapped.

Cognitive neuroscience is entering a new era as we recognize the roles of subcortical structures in the modulation of cognition. The fields of neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychiatry, and neurology are all developing in the direction of understanding the roles of subcortical structures in behavior. This book is informative while defining the need and direction for new paradigms and methodologies for neuropsychological assessment.

Joining the ranks of Texas Parks and Wildlife's acclaimed Learn About... series, this educational activity book features what are probably the most numerous and easily observed of Texas' animal residents. Here children from six to twelve are introduced to the marvelous world of "bugs"—that great host of hopping, crawling, flying, and buzzing creatures more properly called insects.
Youngsters can color eye-catching line drawings of many of the most common, as well as unusual, Texas insects—all of them interesting, some of them beneficial, and some, without question, pests. The accompanying easy-to-read text gives important facts about insect lifeways and insects' roles in nature. Interspersed throughout are instructive games and suggested activities. Included, too, is a 17" by 22" coloring poster.
Для детей 6- 12 лет, энтомологов и просто любителей насекомых, если таковые вообще найдутся.
