Subject:  - Learning Studio - week of November 4

A few new items of possible interest this week.

Magazines:

Book Links October / November 2001
An issue devoted to science. I found the section on Bats very interesting.

Harvard Educational Review Fall 2001
This large special issue is devoted to Immigration and Education.

Links:

Speaking f bats here are two informative sites I recently discovered.

Bat Conservation International http://www.batcon.org/

California Bat Conservation Fund http://www.californiabats.com/

Thanks to the donations by a staff member who is upgrading his videos to
DVD we have some new titles in the collection.

These fall under the loose category of fiction that somehow illustrates
science.

First two starting one of my favorite comedic actors:

The Terminator
General collection circ.
PN 1995.9 .S26 T47 1991

Terminator 2
General collection circ.
PN 1995.9 .S26 T472

Then a title which includes interesting information about the flight of
sparrows, the use of cattle as projectile weapons and the dangers of
approaching wildlife without proper caution. As well as having a higher
degree of fidelity to medieval Arthurian than any other film since the
silent era.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
General collection circ.
PN 1997 .M65 1985
