A blizzard is much more than just a bad snowstorm. In fact, there doesn't even need to be that much snow for a storm to be considered a blizzard. This book explores what blizzards are, how they're predicted, and why they're so dangerous. Safety tips and survival skills are discussed throughout with a focus on important early elementary STEM topics from the Next Generation Science Standards. Age appropriate text and full-color images keep students engaged as they read about this amazing earth science topic.

Spinning Wheels
Author: Frank Buxton
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326215310
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 698
Book Description
This story opens in the early nineteen sixties, at a fictional isolated Catholic Convent somewhere in North Wales. As the story gently unfolds, the main characters honestly start to consider the foundations, and tribal marking of organised religion, especially of their own. (Devout Christians will find this book to be a very challenging read.) Calmly they each discard their belief that Christ was the only Son of God. Christ's message however; 'love Thy neighbour as Thyself' is happily acknowledged as the only way of ensuring the continuing survival of the Human Race. Weaving around this main theme are several honest, if rather robust, love stories. At appropriate points, the debilitating effect of loneliness is sympathetically portrayed, and arguments against committing suicide are also presented. Kirkus reviews: - An engaging tale. The story is strong and the erotica is nicely balanced by the humanity of the characters

Blasted
Author: Sarah Kane
Publisher: Methuen Drama
ISBN: 9781408103852
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This Student Edition of Sarah Kane's seminal play Blasted features expert and helpful annotation and is an accessible guide for anyone studying or performing the play. This includes a scene-by-scene summary, a detailed commentary on the dramatic, social and political context, and on the themes, characters, language and structure of the play, as well a list of suggested reading, questions for further study and a review of performance history. In 1995 Sarah Kane's first full-length play Blasted sent shockwaves throughout the theatrical world. Making front-page headlines, the play outraged critics with its depiction of rape, torture and violence in civil war. However, from being roundly condemned by the critics ('this disgusting feast of filth' Daily Mail), the play is now considered a seminal work of European theatre and has defined an entire era of stage writing. Blasted's canonical status reflects the raw beauty and terror of Kane's writing. Probing the brutality people inflict upon one another, the suffering and violation, the play also looks at the role of love and the redemption it offers. Unafraid to delve into darkness, this is a provocative, fragmenting piece full of significance and power.
