State of Emergency: The Way We Were, Britain 1970-1974
The beginning of the 1970s saw Britain tottering on the brink of an abyss. Yet this time of immense unrest was also one of astonishing creativity and innovation, which helped shape society as we know it today. For perhaps the last time in our history Britain experienced the shock of the new, from celebrity footballers and the pornography boom to high street curry houses and foreign holidays.

Wildlife Management Activity Guide for Teachers
Whether your school has a 40 acre school forest or a 40 square foot school yard lawn, we urge you to get your students involved in some hands-on wildlife management. It is a relevant real world issue that will also expose them to disciplines other than science as they learn all the complexities of land management. A few teachers are teaching about a variety of game species and habitats. Others are developing small native plant gardens which provide basic needs for native butterflies and birds. P

Keeping the Fields Green: Researching Diseases of Spinach Seed Plants

However, a disease has hit some of the plants, and it's up to WSU researchers to figure out how to stop it.
The culprit, Fusarium wilt --a soil-dwelling microscopic fungus,-- has b
