Are you ready to start thinking like a scientist and working like conservation steward? Adventures in Community Science allows young readers and educators to explore various community science projects through natural history, journal entries, and sample data sets. One part nature journal and one part call to action, these studies and surveys will inspire readers to engage the natural world through hands-on exploration. Projects include: * Horseshoe Crab Rescue * Night Lights (Firefly Activity) * Finding Frogs * Mystery Mussel * Lanternflies Have Landed * The Great Shorebird Migration * SOS--Save Our Spiders The project-based learning approach is used in each of the seven adventures and encourages young scientists to make observations, collect data, and contribute to conservation efforts while gaining an understanding of nature. Science practice and education have become increasingly important in our world, and this how-to guide will have kids, their families, teachers, students, and community science groups examining the natural world around them while collecting meaningful data, learning science by practicing science, and helping to protect species and ecosystems in their backyards, in their communities, and throughout the world.

Exploring themes of memory and beauty, this collection features forty-three diverse pieces that range from humorous to haunting. Organized into three flights, the poems traverse locations from Virginia to Italy, incorporating various forms including sonnets and organic shapes. Drawing inspiration from memoir, myth, and history, the author reflects on the lives and legacies of both personal acquaintances and notable figures like Achilles, Catullus, and Edgar Allan Poe, offering a rich tapestry of emotions and insights.

Are you ready for a real-world investigation of community science projects so you can participate or start your own initiative? The Adventures in Community Science Workbook is an investigative, interdisciplinary activity book that offers classroom students, homeschooled children, and visitors to nature centers and parks the opportunity to build their collaborative, scientific skills through data sets, natural-history study, and creative lessons.

This volume includes such classics as The Stupid Gun and the post atomic war struggles of the Judges to bring order back to the shattered MC-1 in Shanty Town and the first appearance of the League of Fatties (only in 2000AD!) as well as the return of Owen Krysler, the Judge Child.

It's going to be difficult to sort out the good guys from the bad guys when they mix it up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but Q (Quest) and Angela have got to try!

Archaic Naukratis was a bustling trading hub in the Western Delta of the Nile, known for its sanctuaries and courtesans, providing Greeks access to Egyptian grain and luxury goods. Over a century after its discovery and excavation, the author presents the first comprehensive analysis of the archaeology and history of this significant site. While Naukratis is often mentioned in discussions of ancient Greek colonization, it was not a locale where Greeks could freely establish their own political and social systems; it was under the strict control of the Egyptian pharaoh and officials. To grasp Naukratis's unique status, the author employs the port of trade model, exploring the political, social, and economic contexts of Late Period Egypt and archaic Greece. A substantial portion of the work focuses on a re-evaluation of the site's topography and material culture, examining sanctuaries, pottery styles, terracottas, faiences, statuettes, and other artifacts in light of recent scholarship. Additionally, an in-depth analysis of literary evidence complements the archaeological findings. This study significantly enhances our understanding of Graeco-Egyptian relations in the seventh and sixth centuries BC and illustrates the relevance of Polanyian economic theory in analyzing the ancient Greek economy.

Thirteen-year-old Q and fifteen-year-old Angela expect their lives to become complicated when his mother and her father, wildly popular musicians, marry, but not that they will face spies and terrorists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
