In Ben Bova's novel JUPITER, physicist Grant Archer led an expedition into Jupiter's hostile planetwide ocean, attempting to study the unusual and massive creatures that call the planet their home. Unprepared for the hostile environment and crushing pressures, Grant's team faced certain death as their ship malfunctioned and slowly sank to the planet's depths. However one of Jupiter's native creatures--a city-sized leviathan--saved the doomed ship. This creature's act convinced Grant that the huge creatures were intelligent, but he lacked scientific proof. Now, several years later, Grant prepares a new expedition to prove once and for all that the huge creatures are intelligent. The new team faces dangers from both the hostile environment and from humans who will do anything to make sure the mission is a failure, even if it means murdering the entire crew.

If you thought math was all numbers, you're in for a surprise. The ability to reason logically is both a prerequisite for learning mathematics and a desired outcome of mathematics instruction. Mathematics provides an excellent context in which to make students aware of the logical structures they need to function successfully in any setting. Math-A-Logic is an award-winning text that successfully merges logical thinking with mathematical concepts and calculations. Eight areas of logic are introduced: patterns and sequences, analogies, deduction, inference, sets and Venn diagram, propositions and logical notation, syllogisms, and logical problem solving. Attractive, reproducible worksheets lead students through each topic, providing explanations, examples, and exercises to test their understanding. With mathematics as the vehicle for presenting and practicing the logical concept, students get practice in mathematical concepts and computations while building thinking skills. The end result is clearer thinking and enhanced problem-solving abilities. This unique approach is sure to be a favorite supplement to your regular math program. The attractive illustrations, clear instructions, solid content, and ease of use make this book a winner. This book is the winner of Learning Magazine's Teacher Choice award. Grades 4-8
