Welcome to the Arctic, the icy, remote land at the very topof the world ...
Most of the Arctic is a big frozen sea with a few areas of land around the edges. Come and spend 24 hours with the animals that live there ...
In most of the world, each 24-hour period is part day, part night - long days in summer, long nughts in winter. At the poles, though, there is no dark night in summer and no bright day in winter. Arctic (DK 24 Hours) takes you through an April day with animals that live there.
More illustrations to be used in classroom bulletins, newspapers, notes home, or just to decorate worksheets. This edtion includes cliparts for Summer that will cheer up students as well as teachers. Suggestions and ideas for projects can also be found in this book.

A diva is not truly a diva until she releases a Christmas album. 1994's CHRISTMAS SPIRIT is Donna Summer's entry into the canon, and a fine one it is. Summer wisely sticks to the basics here. The two originals, the title track, and "Christmas are fine, but Summer really shines on the low-key versions of standards like Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song" and Irving Berlin's "White Christmas."
A born-again Christian, Summer devotes a good chunk of the album to traditional carols and hymns, which she sings with devotion and restraint. The arrangements are mildly synthesizer-heavy, but unobtrusive, and Summer's still-remarkable voice is always at the forefront.
