Extractions: CHALLENGES Edited by Jon Krakauer ( Into Thin Air ). This series reprises exploration/adventure classics that until now have been out of print. Chosen for literary merit and historical significance as well as their great readability, these books provide a look at the shifting rationales given by explorers over the ages for why anyone would willingly subject himself to such unthinkable hazards and hardships.

Extractions: The KIDS Report is published with the support of the Internet Scout Project and the National Science Foundation, and with a generous grant from John and Tashia Morgridge. The KIDS Report is a biweekly publication produced by K-12 students as a resource to other K-12 students. It is an ongoing, cooperative effort of 12 classrooms from around the United States. Teachers assist and provide support; however, students select, evaluate and annotate all resources included in every issue of the KIDS Report. This issue of KIDS, dated January 19, 1999, was written and produced by students of Sabish Junior High in the Fond du Lac school district, located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Lift off to Space Exploration http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/ Blast - Off!! If you want to learn up-to-date information about space, this is the site for you! Lift Off to Space Exploration is a factual and efficient web site filled with lots of good information. It includes facts about launches, satellites, space stations, and astronaut training. It has links that connects to a kid's page and space/science news. There is also a link which gives great details and 3-D diagrams of the solar system. The site also provides an up-to-date clock telling how much time there is until the next mission. This site is updated daily, loads quickly, and is easy to navigate. It is hosted by NASA Mission Operations Laboratory at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We recommend this site for any age. However, some information may be hard for younger ages to understand without the help of an adult.

Title Index The Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress holds more than 4.5 million items, of which Map Collections represents only a small fraction, those that have been converted to digital form. The focus of Map Collections Map Collections is organized according to seven major categories. Because a map will be assigned to only one category, unless it is part of more than one core collection, searching Map Collections at this level will provide the most complete results since the indexes for all categories are searched simultaneously. Maps can now be downloaded Searching Map Collections The mission of the Library of Congress is to make its resources available and useful to Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations. The goal of the Library's National Digital Library Program is to offer broad public access to a wide range of historical and cultural documents as a contribution to education and lifelong learning. The Library of Congress presents these documents as part of the record of the past. These primary historical documents reflect the attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs of different times.

Extractions: http://allanon.gmd.de/and/and.html The knowledge-based system IRIS is designed to help users in analysis of spatially referenced statistical data. For this purpose the system provides the user with automatically built thematic maps presenting the data visually. The process of map design is governed by the domain-independent visualisation knowledge base. The user receives the opportunity to concentrate on data exploration instead of the process of planning and building data presentations. Implementation of the interface part of the system in Java language allows to run the system in the World Wide Web (WWW). Data visualisation, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), knowledge-based systems, World Wide Web. ABSTRACT REFERENCES Presentation of spatially referenced data on maps is an important prerequisite for analysis of the data. Currently existing mapping software (GIS), despite of its functional power, does not fit well the needs of data exploration. It requires the user to think what presentation of her/his data will be adequate, and what GIS operations must be applied to obtain it. Besides consuming user's time, design of consistent and informative map presentations requires special cartographic knowledge that is hardly possessed by any end-user. Therefore the need in intelligent tools providing assistance to GIS users in data visualisation is widely recognised in the GIS community.

Extractions: Scanning Electron Microscope pictures of Paleozoic and Mesozoic radiolarians (x 150) extracted from siliceous sedimentary strata of the Canadian Cordillera. Radiolarians Polycystines are unicellular planktonic marine organisms belonging to the class of Actinopoda , which absorb silica from the marine environment and construct tiny skeletons (0.1-0.2 mm in diameter) according to well defined geometric patterns. Radiolarian fossils are known from the early Phanerozoic to the present (600 million years) and, because an enormous diversity of taxons evolved rapidly, they have a very significant stratigraphic interest. One of their characteristic is that, unlike calcareous skeletons, they are not subject to greater dissolution with water depth and can therefore accumulate differentially on ocean basin floors, some specialists even considering them as the "normal" pelagic sediment at certain periods, only diluted by calcareous biogenic or terrigenous inputs.

Written by two of the worlds leading experts on the Wrights, The Wright Brothers and the Invention of the Aerial Age will provide a definitive, richly illustrated look at the lives of the brothers and their world-changing invention. Wilbur and Orville were two eccentric owners of a bicycle shop in the heartland. But it was invention, engineering, and the new possibilities of manned flight that obsessed them. In just three years, they went from designing and flying a glider and creating a test wind tunnel to Wilburs history-making moments in December 1903 above the dunes at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In moving prose, Crouch and Jakab explain the Wrights achievements and the moments of their great successes, and they paint a masterful personal portrait of the two sometimes erratic, genius personalities (never married, the brothers lived together all their lives), and, most important, the world of pioneering aviation in which they operated.
