Earth Vision has launched a new project entitled Insight21 - answers for the 21st Century. The website presents various topics that entail front-runners in the need for answers for social and environmental issues. Some of these treatments include Waldorf Education, Biodynamic gardening, Anthroposophical Medicine, as well as various wisdom-centered perspectives form the deep pool of anthroposophical material and the lectures of Rudolf Steiner.

For the past year, Earth Vision has been active with its mandate to reach beyond environmentalism by presenting nature in the light of spiritual ecology.

The coordinator of the Earth Vision project is a seasoned explorer of wilderness, and researcher of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy. Josef Graf contends that the environmental movement is becoming increasingly unable to address the issues of the day, and that a deeper perspective is needed. Citing the formidable output of Steiner, in which spiritual science effectively overtakes material science, the author asserts that spiritual ecology serves as an indispensable adjunct to material ecology.

The Earth Vision website uses the vehicle of eco-spirituality to explore the interweave between humanity and nature. Through excerpts from five books, each with a distinct approach, the viewer gains access to the wilderness within:

- a travelogue across North America;
- a calendar of nature and soul through the seasons;
- a global perspective of spiritual ecology down through the ages;
- a gallery that explores art, color theory, and the nature-soul dynamic;
- and a compendium of humor in the biography of Hebert Returns to America.

In addition to books, the EV project releases a seasonal, in-depth article addressing a current environmental issue - on topics such as the disappearing honeybees, the end of real estate, and the return of bison and wolf.

Humanity's impasse in the face of nature calls for extraordinary resolutions. Earth Vision provides an entry to one of those forums. In the words of Dorothy McLean, noted co-founder of Findhorn, "I read Earth Vision with delight. . . and appreciated the emphasis on humans sharing whatever qualities nature has. . . the words, and the spirit that shines through them, cannot but help people to expand their awareness."


The Earth Vision website presents spiritual ecology as a means of highlighting the nature-human relationship. In a bid to take readers to a deeper place with nature, the Earth Vision project diverges from the voice of the intellect, and enters into a language that speaks at the core of being, a poetic, non-cerebral voice that interlaces strands of nature with the human experience.

By means of condensed language, and with full existential bearing, spiritual ecology presents two doorways that lead, ultimately, to the same forum of discovery. The first approach, by penetrating into nature's core, arrives at a place where the human soul is discovered to be dwelling. The second approach entails the inverse of the first - penetrating into the human soul until the numerous aspects of nature are encountered.

As the author of Earth Vision, I express my sense of why spiritual ecology is not more widely and consciously lived into by suggesting that our connection with nature is so close - it could not possibly be closer - that we have difficulty discerning it. When you are one with something, it takes a special exercise in self-reflection to ascertain that something.

Fun science projects -- there are no shortage of project topics. But choosing the right project can make the difference between an ordinary or an extraordinary project. The secret is choosing a project in a science topic that excites the student. In choosing a topic that interests them, they will enjoy the work involved and will find that needed commitment to completing it. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of different topics out there for the student to choose a science fair project. The most popular subjects are life science, earth science and physical science. Other popular topics include health, computers, biology and chemistry.

If your child is a computer nerd then he or she may very well enjoy a project about the internet, about search engines or other aspects of the computer. There are many places to look for science fair project ideas about computer science. You could look it up on the internet, as well as doing some library research. Many projects have been done about which search engines give the most results, which search engines are faster, and similar topics.

Science fair projects in the earth science and environmental sciences are very popular today. With the advent of global warming, students who want to help save the world for future generations may be interested in these subjects. You could do projects on air and water pollution, on acid rain, on erosion and similar ideas. Here are some great ideas for earth science projects. Discovering Dinosaurs, Earth's Waters, Earth's Changing Surface, Exploring Stars, About our Planet, the Solar System, Living Earth, Volcanoes, and Weather Maps. Other subjects could include the Continental Drift, Avalanches, Earthquakes, the Grand Canyon, Living Fossils, and the Ice Age.

If the student is interested in becoming a doctor or a nurse, then maybe a health science fair project would be the right subject. The student could do research on disease, the use of pharmaceuticals and generic drugs, high blood pressure and countless other subjects.

For those who want to be the next famous chemist, a science fair project in the field of chemistry would be in order. This will require some equipment, laboratory procedures, and good discipline. The field of chemistry is so broad that the student should have little trouble finding a satisfactory project. Chemistry is a science that systematically studies the composition, properties, and activity of organic and inorganic substances and various elementary forms of matter. It is the scientific study of matter, its properties, and interactions with other matter and with energy. Its procedures are systematic and reproducible and its hypotheses are tested using the scientific method.

Isaac Newton is a role model for students who wish to do a science fair project in the field of physics. You will also need good discipline and usually require some special equipment. Physics projects can be simple or complex to suit the grade level. Physics is all around us. It is in the electric light you turn on in the morning; the car you drive to work; your wristwatch, cell phone, CD player, radio and television. It makes the stars shine every night and the sun shine every day, and it makes a baseball soar into the stands.

Physics is the science of matter, energy, space, and time. It describes the many forms of energy--such as kinetic energy, electrical energy, and mass--and the way energy can change from one form to another. It describes a malleable space-time and the way objects move through space and time.

There are many fields of physics such as mechanics, electricity, heat, sound, light, condensed matter, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and elementary particle physics. Physics is the foundation of all the physical sciences--such as chemistry, material science, and geology and is important for many other fields of human endeavor: biology, medicine, computing, ice hockey and television.

Science fair projects in the field of biology would be best suited for students who want to deal with living things. Biology is the scientific study of life. In biology we examine the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living things. Biology classifies and describes organisms, their functions, how species exist and the interactions they have with the environment.

The word biology is derived from the Greek words /bios/ meaning /life/ and /logos/ meaning /study/ and is defined as the science of life and living organisms. Aspects of biological science range from the study of molecular mechanisms in cells, to the classification and behavior of organisms, how species evolve and interaction between ecosystems.

No matter what the interest of the student, there a science fair project perfectly suited to their particular tastes. There is just no sense in selecting a project by default. The student should spend some time considering his or her interests and then find the project that they will really enjoy doing. Science fair projects are not just about learning but should also be about having fun!

About MP3 Audio Books

What is an MP3 player's primary function? To play music, of course, would be the answer. Well, yes, but that doesn't mean that an MP3 player cannot perform other functions. Nowadays these smart players can be used to play different file formats, viewing photographs, videos and even playing games. But the very fact that they play MP3 files can make them versatile enough. MP3s need not necessarily be songs only.


This intelligent file format has been found to be incredibly useful for other purposes too – like MP3 audio books. However not all MP3 players are suitable for listening to audio books. If you are in the market for a player and are interested in audio books then there are certain things you need to be aware of.


First you should be aware of how much memory your player has and how much it can be expanded to (if it can be expanded at all.) This is an important feature anyway as the amount of storage space you have on the player will also help determine the price and, therefore, whether it fits your budget or not. Flash memory is used on most MP3 players. Some have slots for memory cards like MMC and SD/Mini SD/Micro SD. If you want to listen to MP3 audio books on your device then you should try and get as much storage capacity as possible. A minimum of 128MB is needed for some audio books.


Another thing you should check out is the maximum volume that the MP3 player can support. How loud a player can play will be an important feature as it will determine whether or not you can hear the audio book being played in noisy situations like most public spaces. Some MP3 players do have a feature that limits the volume so you might want to give these a miss if you are focusing on MP3 audio books. Test the volume at the shop before you commit yourself to a purchase.


Finally, perhaps, the most important feature an MP3 player needs to have in order to be audio book friendly is to be able to resume from wherever you left off. MP3 audio books are long MP3 files which you probably will not listen to all at one go. Therefore you will want to resume listening to the book file from the point you stopped at. Therefore your MP3 player needs to be able to do that rather than just return to the beginning of the file which can be extremely frustrating. Not all MP3 players can do this so you should check to see whether the one you are buying can or not. First stop and resume, then stop, switch off before switching on and resuming play. Also try replacing batteries.


MP3 audio books are a good idea and keeping them on your personal MP3 players can help you spend time on your commute, journey, gym or anything in a nice, relaxed manner. So go ahead and download, you might even win a free MP3 player!
