Journey to the Center of the Earth
One hundred fifty years later, Jules Verne's epic novel of science and adventure is just as thrilling as when it was first published
A dirty slip of parchment falls from the pages of an ancient manuscript. Deciphered by the indefatigable Otto Liedenbrock, professor of geology, and his reluctant nephew, Axel, the parchment's coded message is a wild assertion made by a medieval alchemist: Inside a volcano in Iceland is a passageway to the center of the earth. Impossible, says Axel—the temperature of the earth's core is far too high for any human being to go near it. That is one theory, the professor replies. Two days later, they embark on a journey so fantastic it will alter the very meaning of history.
First published in 1864, Journey to the Center of the Earth is a cornerstone of science fiction and one of the greatest stories ever told. This ebook edition contains the classic Ward Lock & Co. translation of 1877, one of the first English-language versions faithful to the original French.
This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Enter the core
\"Max Tilt thinks his luck is finally changing, thanks to his great-great-great-grandfather Jules Verne's unfinished, unpublished manuscript, The Lost Treasures. Using the clues Verne left behind, Max and his cousin Alex were able to bottle the magical healing elements needed to cure his mother's illness just in the nick of time. But then Max and Alex discover that the vials were stolen by their former friend, Bitsy. She has plans to use them to save the world--but her plans might be much more deadly than they seem. And so now it's up to Max and Alex to stop her before it's too late. Working against the odds, the two kids glean clues from one of Verne's best-loved books, Journey to the Center of the Earth. In it, they discover a map to their most dangerous destination yet--the very core of the world. And so now the two cousins are off on their most unlikely, most important quest yet--literally to save the world!\"--Provided by publisher.

Investigating Environmental Changes, Grade 2: STEM Road Map for Elementary School. STEM Road Map Curriculum Series
What if you could challenge your second graders to design an outdoor STEM classroom with a butterfly garden, birdbath, and sundial? With this volume in the \"STEM Road Map Curriculum Series,\" you can! \"Investigating Environmental Changes\" outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. As are the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K-12 classrooms. This interdisciplinary module uses project- and problem-based learning to help young children make discoveries about a range of natural and human-created phenomena. Building the outdoor classroom will help students learn about changes in the natural environment that are associated with the Earth's movement around the Sun, including plant and animal life cycles. They will draw on life, Earth and environmental science, the engineering design process, mathematics, and English language arts to do the following: (1) Develop a proposal for their outdoor classroom using persuasive language; (2) Devise a data collection plan to analyze environmental changes over time; (3) Explore local weather patterns and make connections among the patterns, seasons, and plant life cycles; (4) Learn about recycling, including sorting and tracking recycled materials; and (5) Create works of fiction incorporating their outdoor STEM classroom. The \"STEM Road Map Curriculum Series\" is anchored in the \"Next Generation Science Standards,\" the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, \"Investigating Environmental Changes\" can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.

Climatic Modernism
An airplane etches its exhaust across the London sky: “a thick ruffled bar of white smoke which curled and wreathed upon the sky in letters, but what letters? A C was it? and E, then an L? Only for a moment did they lie still; then moved and melted and were rubbed out up in the sky.”¹ The skywriting in Virginia Woolf’sMrs. Dalloway(1925) is a self-consciously illegible sign. Observed by everyone, the writing remains opaque. The letters cannot be connected into words or grammar and thus speak to a haunting absence of meaning: a trail signifying nothing.
