  • Are You Being Watched?
    WHEN Elizabeth arrives at work each day, a camera tracks her movements. As she enters the building, one camera zooms in on her face. During the day numerous other cameras keep her under constant surveillance. This level of scrutiny is understandable because she works for a company that handles millions of dollars in cash each day.
  • Bats Misunderstood, Marvelous, Valuable, Endangered
    BATS. I hate them. They re vermin infested, can t see and get tangled up in your hair, spread rabies, suck your blood. Ugh. They make my skin crawl. Are those also your sentiments?

    Actually, bats are much maligned little creatures. They are victims of bad press. They groom themselves fastidiously. Most have good eyesight; none are blind. They have no desire to get in your hair. They rarely have rabies, and when they do, they are not inclined to bite you unlike rabid dogs. More people die ann
  • Can Computers Solve Man’s Problems?
    PERHAPS, until now, you have thought of computers as “electronic brains” that can answer any question or solve any problem. While this is the view often popularized on television and in the movies, is it an accurate one?
  • Disasters—The Search for Their Causes
    WORST year in history,” headlined The Times of London regarding air crashes during 1985. The death toll of about 2,000 confirms that it was history’s worst year for aviation fatalities.

    The worst fire ever in a British soccer stadium brought disaster to the English city of Bradford in May 1985. Flames raced through the wooden grandstand holding 3,000 spectators, leaving 55 dead and hundreds injured.
  • Do You Have Difficulty Making Decisions?
    “Do you like it? Should I buy it?” asked Flora, displaying the finely tailored black coat she was trying on. “I like it,” said her friend Anna, “but it’s your choice to make.” Weakened by indecision, Flora placed the coat back on the rack and left the store.
  • Endangered Species The Scope of the Problem
    DODOES have become a symbol of extinction. The last of these flightless birds died about 1680 on the island of Mauritius. Many of the species presently at risk live on islands too. In the last 400 years, 85 out of 94 species of birds known to have disappeared have been island birds.
  • Flying Dragons of the Sky
    DURING hot, midsummer days, the air above fields and ponds becomes the stage for some of the most amazing fliers in insectdom—the dragonflies.

    With their two pairs of long wings glistening in the sun, you can see dragonflies flashing back and forth, looping, turning and diving at will. One moment they will be zooming at express-train speed high in the sky, then, the next, swooping down to skim the surface of a pond. These marvels of creation can even fly backward or hover in midair like a hel
  • Make Your Own Rainbow
    HAVE you ever made your own rainbow? Have you ever sprayed water through the air on a sunny day and suddenly thrilled to your own miniature rainbow? If not, no doubt you have been stopped in your tracks when someone exclaimed, “Look! A rainbow!” That beautiful arch of colors never ceases to amaze us. But what exactly is a rainbow? How is it formed?
  • Our Marvelous Roof the Sky
    ONE of the most beautiful, ever-changing sights on earth is the sky. Its scope and grandeur simply stagger the imagination. The whole earth is enveloped with the sky’s endless majestic and colorful panorama. In the east a golden glow announces the dawn, while a crimson western sky bids the day adieu. There are moments when the sky may be adorned in a royal canopy of blue, or dismal gray or in resplendent white. White billowy, cotton-like clouds called “cumulus” proclaim a fine spring day; gay fe
  • Our Senses Remarkable Gifts
    AT THE sight of the ice cream, Luke’s eyes shine. As he reaches out to grasp the cone verbally offered to him, his mouth waters. He raises the delicacy to his mouth, smelling its sweetness as he does. Then, he tastes the delicious flavor with the first lick of the soft, cold ice cream.
  • The Amazing Ability of Hearing
    IF YOU possess good hearing, you have something truly precious. Just think! You can listen to the melodious song of a bird, the ripple of a brook, the voice of a loved one. Through your ears you can receive lifesaving messages, too perhaps from an automobile horn, a siren or a fire alarm.
  • The Amazing Design of Living Things
    WHEN anthropologists dig in the earth and find a triangular piece of sharp flint, they conclude that it must have been designed by someone to be the tip of an arrow. Such things designed for a purpose, scientists agree, could not be products of chance.
  • The Brain More Than a Computer
    ANOTHER superb organ is the human brain. It, together with the rest of the nervous system, is often compared to man-made computers. Of course, computers are constructed by humans and operate according to step-by-step instructions predetermined by human programmers. Yet, many people believe that no intelligence was responsible for “wiring” and “programming” the human brain.
  • The Fascinating Force of Gravity
    ISAAC NEWTON, about 300 years ago, theorized how gravity works. He imagined a man throwing an object from the top of an unusually high mountain. If simply dropped, the object would fall, as would an apple, downward to the ground.
  • The Jewel of the Sea
    Diatoms, microscopic algae that encase themselves in ornate, exquisitely patterned glass shells, are found in prolific numbers in every ocean on earth. They have fascinated scientists for centuries—in fact, ever since the microscope was first invented and men could sketch their beauty. Justifiably, the diatom is called the jewel of the sea.
  • The Tongue Amazing in Design
    A LITTLE piece of muscle is all it is. But what an amazing design! For the tongue can form all the sounds spoken in the hundreds of languages known to man. It is also a taster supreme, being able to differentiate between sweet and sour, hot and cold, salty and bitter in a way that brings delight to men everywhere. In fact, without it you would find it very difficult even to eat.
  • The Wondrous Clock of Living Things
    HAVE you noticed the marvelous sense of timing of living things? Each year plants germinate, grow and flower according to schedule. Not all are on the same schedule some flower in the spring, others in the summer and still others in autumn and early winter. But each species knows the right time to carry out its various activities.
  • When Survival Depends on Subterfuge
    IN THE world of insects, each day presents two pressing problems: how to find enough to eat and how to avoid being eaten. Insects are tempting morsels for birds, frogs, and lizards. For many insects, survival depends on blending into their surroundings.
  • Why So Many Violent Crimes Now
    ALL crimes are evil. But mindless or purposeless crimes are harder to understand. The fact that they are often without an obvious motive baffles investigators. With mass communication becoming much more effective in recent years, such appalling crimes are known to millions, or even billions, within hours. A report published by the World Health Organization states that violence leaves no continent, no country and few communities untouched.
  • Why The Rich Get Richer and The Poor Get Poorer
    I'm sure that you have heard the old saying that goes, "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer". Well, there is a reason why the saying exists, and that's because it is 100% true. The rich do get richer, and the poor do get poorer. But why is that?
