As early as the 1500s, fur traders from Europe began to arrive in the Subarctic region of North America. These traders were greeted by the many groups of native peoples already living in the region. These native peoples had their own languages, cultures, and methods for hunting and surviving in this land where it snowed 200 days a year. Many native peoples still live throughout the Subarctic. They are working to revive their traditions and languages and preserve the land. Read more about the history and culture of the native peoples of the Subarctic.

En el Pac fico Sur, en 1944 y 1945, se libraron batallas militares entre Estados Unidos y Jap n. Rodeados del traqueteo de las balas y las explosiones de las bombas, un grupo de marines navajos enviaba mensajes secretos de un lado a otro. Usaron un c digo que crearon a partir del idioma navajo, y que el enemigo nunca pudo descifrar. Estos j venes fueron reclutados de sus hogares en el suroeste de Estados Unidos. Trajeron consigo una resistencia f sica incre ble y un lenguaje que nunca hab a sido escrito. Aprende sobre los locutores de claves navajos: h roes valientes y creativos que usaron su c digo indescifrable para ayudar a los Aliados a ganar la guerra. In the South Pacific in 1944 and 1945, military battles raged between the United States and Japan. Surrounded by rattling bullets and exploding bombs, a group of Navajo Marines sent secret messages back and forth. They used a code they'd created from the Navajo language, a code the enemy was never able to crack. These young men had been recruited from their homes in the American Southwest. They brought with them incredible physical stamina and a language that had never been written down. Learn more about the Navajo code talkers--brave, creative heroes who used their unbreakable code to help the Allies win the war.
Safe Removal of Honey Bee Colonies from Buildings

NORTHERN BEE BOOKS

The general public are becoming more aware of the plight of 'bees'. This is, more accurately, the plight of pollinating insects. Dave Goulson, in his book, (see Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse) has called it the 'Insect Apocalypse' and this has meant that many people now believe honey bees to be a protected species. The term 'bees' in this context means all bees and, in the UK, there are about 250 species of bees. However, this book is concerned with just a single species namely Apis mellifera the western honey bee.The general public, in the UK, think that the honey bee is a protected species, and that destruction is not an option. This is not true in the UK but the feral colonies (those living in cavities other than managed bee hives) are considered to be a valuable genetic resource and should not be destroyed if it can be avoided. In this book, the authors have tried, in some way, to describe the processes and thoughts any bee remover needs to undertake before, during and after the removal of feral honey bees from a building or other such structure.Geoff Hopkinson B.E.M, NDB February 2022
Making Us Crazy is a powerful and challenging book which forces us to question the labels which are now commonly imposed on us by the American bible of mental syndromes.
Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo

During development cells and tissues undergo changes in pattern and form that employ a wider range of physical mechanisms than at any other time in an organism's life. This book shows how physics can be used to analyze these biological phenomena. Written to be accessible to both biologists and physicists, major stages and components of the biological development process are introduced and then analyzed from the viewpoint of physics. The presentation of physical models requires no mathematics beyond basic calculus. Physical concepts introduced include diffusion, viscosity and elasticity, adhesion, dynamical systems, electrical potential, percolation, fractals, reaction-diffusion systems, and cellular automata. With full-color figures throughout, this comprehensive textbook teaches biophysics by application to developmental biology and is suitable for graduate and upper-undergraduate courses in physics and biology.
Chemical Contaminants in Human Milk

Chemical Contaminants in Human Milk contains a comprehensive, up-to-date global review of the contamination of human milk with environmental and occupational chemicals. The book covers many different aspects of this problem, including the extent and benefits of breast-feeding, the transfer of chemicals into breast milk, analytical methodologies used in human milk studies, the levels of chemical contaminants in human milk, and geographical variations and time trends in levels. The many different factors that can influence the levels of contaminants in breast milk are also discussed. Other important topics examined include human milk contamination due to exposure of the mother at the workplace and the risk to her baby, the intake of toxic chemicals by breast-fed infants, calculated intakes and official limit values, the toxicological implications of human milk contamination based on available data from animal experiments and human studies. The book concludes with an overall assessment of the current situation, together with recommendations for future work. Chemical Contaminants in Human Milk is a valuable source of information for pediatricians and other health professionals, policy makers involved with ensuring the health and welfare of infants and nursing mothers, nursing mothers and organizations involved in the promotion of breast feeding, and individuals and organizations involved with the study and control of environmental pollution and occupational hygiene.
