The Paleolithic Revolution

By: Paula Johanson

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Archaeologists have found evidence that as humans entered what we now refer to as the Upper Paleolithic Era, they started using a whole new toolset. The evidence suggests that major behavioral shifts also occurred. For example, humans started making arresting cave paintings and carving statuettes. Scholars refer to these changes as the Upper Paleolithic Revolution. Readers will learn how archaeologists use evidence to piece together what life was like during the Upper Paleolithic Era. Theories about the origins and development of language are also discussed, as are new discoveries about archaic human admixture with modern humans.

Critical Perspectives on the Opioid Epidemic

By: Paula Johanson

The use of painkilling drugs has become an epidemic, with an increasing number of prescriptions being written as well as illegal use of street drugs. Deaths from unexpected overdoses are followed by reports of opioids being added to various street drugs, in inconsistent amounts. It's hard to know from news reports just how dangerous opioids can be or who is using them. This text has primary-source evidence from doctors and thoughtful analysis from health experts and court cases, as well as personal viewpoints of people affected in their ordinary lives, helping students think critically about opioid use and abuse.

Platinum

By: Paula Johanson

Platinum (Pt), a transition metal, was well-known in South America by metalworkers, long before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic. Platinum was used in jewelry and ornaments, and valued because it did not tarnish like silver. The Spanish called this white metal platina, or little silver. Readers examine the many applications of platinum in industry, including its use as a catalyst in catalytic converters and in electrical components, making crucibles and containers, and making medicines to treat cancer. Platinums place on the periodic table is also investigated, as well as its many physical and chemical properties.

Lance Armstrong

A Biography

By: Paula Johanson

This readable biography of Lance Armstrong surveys his legendary cycling career as well as the details of his life outside of cycling. The son of a single mother and born in a run-down housing project, American athlete Lance Armstrong emerged from decidedly modest beginnings. Four decades later, Armstrong has established himself as not only one of the world's greatest and most successful athletes, but also as an activist for charitable causes. Through the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Armstrong supports cancer research and treatment while he serves as the ultimate inspiration for other athletes and cancer survivors. Lance Armstrong: A Biography provides a detailed treatment of Armstrong's life, from the lasting influences of his boyhood and the early years of his competitive training, to his battle with cancer, his divorce, and the birth of his fifth child during his second comeback to professional cycling. The book portrays him both as a champion athlete and a family man, and gives a candid assessment of his career, including Armstrong's less successful periods.

Cobalt

Cobalt

By: Paula Johanson

Cobalt (Co) was discovered by Swedish chemist Georg Brandt in 1735. Readers learn that cobalt is a transition metal, and that it is ferromagnetic. Only cobalt, nickel, and iron (and some of their alloys) can permanently align their atoms and become a permanent magnet. Cobalt can be found in rocky ores in Africa and Canada. It is very active chemically and forms many compounds, including cobaltous and cobaltic salts. Cobalt is used as a coloring agent, in paints, glass, ceramics, and enamels. A radioactive isotope of cobalt, called cobalt-60, can be used as a tracer in industry to show where pipes are leaking, and in medicine by doctors as a radioactive dye to trace out a persons blood vessels in part or all of a persons body in helping them to diagnose many kinds of illness.

Locating Suburbia

Memory, Place, Creativity

By: Paula Hamilton,Paul Ashton

The identity of suburbia, so far as it can be ascribed one, is shifting and insecure, a borderline and liminal space. Dominant stereotypes have listed it as ‘on the margins’ beyond edges of cultural sophistication and tradition’ and the areas that make up ‘sprawl’. But in the twenty-first century this static view has to be modified. As is evident from this collection, suburban dwellers themselves have redefined themselves. This collection explores the range and complexity of twenty-first century responses to city suburbs, predominantly in Sydney. It draws on a range of approaches – from history to creative non-fiction and multi-media.

Blind Search

A Mercy Carr Mystery

By: Paula Munier

Former Army MP Mercy Carr and her retired bomb-sniffing dog Elvis are back in Blind Search, the sequel to the page-turning, critically acclaimed A Borrowing of Bones It’s October, hunting season in the Green Mountains—and the Vermont wilderness has never been more beautiful or more dangerous. Especially for nine-year-old Henry, who’s lost in the woods. Again. Only this time he sees something terrible. When a young woman is found shot through the heart with a fatal arrow, Mercy thinks that something is murder. But Henry, a math genius whose autism often silences him when he should speak up most, is not talking. Now there’s a murderer hiding among the hunters in the forest—and Mercy and Elvis must team up with their crime-solving friends, game warden Troy Warner and search-and-rescue dog Susie Bear, to find the killer—before the killer finds Henry. When an early season blizzard hits the mountains, cutting them off from the rest of the world, the race is on to solve the crime, apprehend the murderer, and keep the boy safe until the snowplows get through. Inspired by the true search-and-rescue case of an autistic boy who got lost in the Vermont wilderness, Paula Munier's mystery is a compelling roller coaster ride through the worst of winter—and human nature.

Critical Perspectives on Vaccinations

By: Paula Johanson

Vaccinations have been a contentious issue in recent years, particularly in North America, where parents have decided to forgo vaccinating their children due to potential health risks. According to health experts, this has led to an increase in potentially deadly diseases and an overall decrease in herd immunity. With so much fearmongering online about the potential deadly consequences of vaccinations, however, what information can we trust? This text provides primary source evidence from doctors and experts, along with scientific data, court cases, and the viewpoints of everyday people, in order to facilitate students own critical thinking about this important issue.
