DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat is a biome? How does rain form? Is a turtle a reptile or an amphibian? Can corn fuel a car? These questions and more can be answered using the U*X*L Encyclopedia of Science. This alphabetically organized ten-volume set opens up the entire world of science in clear, nontechnical language. Its comprehensive coverage of science topics taught in middle school science curricula and outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards makes it the perfect science reference solution for middle schools with limited budgets looking for a one stop resource. Entries from the previous edition of this title are also noted in appendix B of the English Language Arts Common Core Standards as being good examples of content that can be used to help teach the skills needed to read and digest non-fiction informational text. This resource is comprised of 800 entries that focus on a single topic, and range from 250 to 2,500 words. Many of these entries also feature helpful sidebar boxes that define key terms in that entry, as well as full-color images, charts and tables. There is also a secondary Table of Contents that organizes the articles under the scientific field that they fall under in order to aid instructors in easily identify useful content to aid in their teaching. This design and scope of coverage helped the previous edition of this title win Booklist s 20 Best Bets for Student Researchers in 2002. With the advent of the Next Generation Science Standards and the other changes in curricular focus of middle school science, it was time to update and expand the coverage of the U*X*L Encyclopedia of Science to better meet the needs of students and teachers. With this in mind, we have reviewed all of the entries from the previous edition, and updated them as necessary. We have also added 200 new entries to broaden the scope of this title to include more biographical entries on groundbreaking scientists and science topics currently in the news (i.e. genetically modified organisms).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPop culture and the media today are saturated with the focus on the aesthetics of the human body. Magazines and infotainment shows speculate whether this or that actress had breast implants or a nose job. Americans are not just focusing on celebrities but on themselves too and today have unprecedented opportunities to rework what nature gave them. One can now drop in to have cosmetic surgery at the local mall. Contemplating the superficial nature of it all grows tiresome, and pop culture vultures and students can get a better fix for their fascination with the body beautiful through the cultural insight provided in this amazing set. Cultural Encyclopedia of the Body is a treasure trove of essays that explore the human body alphabetically by part, detailing practices and beliefs from the past and present and from around the world that are sometimes mind-blowing and eye-popping. Body parts are examined through a multifaceted cultural lens. Readers will explore how the parts are understood, what they mean to disparate societies, how they are managed, treated, and transformed, and how they are depicted and represented. The entries draw from many disciplines that are concerned to some degree or another with human bodies, including anthropology archeology, sociology, religion, political history, philosophy, art history, literary studies, and medicine. The encyclopedia proffers information on a number of cultures, tribes, and customs from East and West. Ancient practices to the latest fad, which in fact might continue ancient practices, are illuminated. Other considerations that arise in the essays include comparisons among cultures, the changing perceptions of the body, and issues of race, gender, religion, community and belonging, ethnicity, power structures, human rights.
