Greek Legends

Encyclopedia Brittanica 1911

What was the world like 94 years ago? This free archive of the 1911 edition of Brittanica gives an idea. It filled 29 volumes and contains over 44 million words. It contains over 40,000 articles written by over 1,500 authors within their various fields of expertise. What was particularly remarkable was that many of the entries were written by the most famous people of the age. Henry Ford, for example, wrote the article on mass production. As such, it was considered to represent the sum of human knowledge at the beginning of the 20th Century.

World Press Photo of the year

Isn't this just appalling or is it a staged photo? I presume to win somthing like this it would have to be authenticated in some way.

NASA 's Earth Observatory

This is one of my favourite web sites.
This site is a great resource for the teaching of Science, Geography, Meteorology, etc. It has an amazing range of photos taken from space and they are available at high resolution which means that you can print them out especially if you have a good colour laser printer. There is information with each image which you can edit and combine with the images to make an excellent classroom display.
