Because the original was so popular, the geniuses behind Project ASTRO have created an additional volume of activities. These 25 activities explore and explain mysteries of the universe: the moon's phases, the reasons for the seasons, comets and meteors, stars, and space exploration. Also designed in loose-leaf format, More Universe... is a great supplement to the original, or a perfect sampler if you want to start small.

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
