Wizard teacher follow up

post from Bad Astronomy Blog on 18 May 2008 11:58:37 AM. © Bad Astronomy Blog

Via Fark comes a followup to the story about Jim Piculas, a substitute teacher who was fired for, among other things, wizardry. It’s amusing; the teacher is distancing himself from the wizardry comment, though in this new article he never blames the reporter in the original article for inflating the story (which is starting to [...]

The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of Eastern
North America

tags: birding, bird books, Bird Field Guide, The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of Eastern North America, Bill Thompson III, book review

One of the most common questions that I am asked is "how can we get our video game-addicted kids interested in the out-of-doors?" One way to get kids interested in nature is to make it accessible to them, and perhaps the best way to do this is through books. A new field guide was just published whose target audience is kids between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. This remarkable book, The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of Eastern North America (NYC: Houghton Mifflin; 2008) was written by Bill Thompson III, under the close supervision of his daughter, Phoebe, and her elementary school classmates, who are part of the book's targeted demographics.

How Much for a Million Year Warranty

post from CR4 - Recent Blog Entries on 18 May 2008 10:32:00 AM. © CR4 - Recent Blog Entries

Metal ores and metals can last more than a million years. The fact that we still mine for them is the proof. But because of the half-life of nuclear waste, articles in the trade press discuss whether it is feasible to develop a container to store nuclear waste for one million years. Until there are
