This land is our land!. by Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; TMW Media Group.;

Forces that shape our earth: Explore the major landforms of our world with spectacular video footage. Look at the various forces that affect our physical environment including glaciers, volcanoes, gravity, rivers, lakes and oceans, movement in the earth, wind and temperature changes. This video is a superb introduction to the ways all these forces work together to shape our planet.Geology of caves and caverns: Illustrates what water can do below the earth's surface, over long periods of time. Using animated and real life sequences, this program explores some important caves, their formations and teaches students how underground water dissolves limestone to form caves, caverns, stalagmites, stalagtites and boxfork formations.Glaciers that shape our earth: Glaciers have had a more profound effect on the surface of the earth than probably any other geological process. This is the one audiovisual aid you SHOULD have to explain the world of glaciers to your students. This video clearly investigates what glaciers do and how they affected most of North America.The hydrologic cycle: Examines one of the most important processes that affect life on earth. The water cycle is covered from transpiration through evaporation to condensation, precipitation and run-off.Underground water: Discusses how water is trapped between grains of rock underground. Discover wells, water flow, hydrology, artesian wells and the water table.Waves, coastlines and beaches: This live-action video deals with the geological processes that take place where ocean meets land. Learn how erosional and depositional processes form features such as rugged coastlines, barrier islands, spits, Tombolos, wave cut terraces sea stacks and beaches. Animated sequences take you underwater to show processes underway just off the shoreline.Why is the ocean salty: All water, even rainwater contains dissolved chemicals which scientists call "Salts." These salts eventually wash down into rivers and streams and eventually find their way into oceans and seas. Subjects covered include: The origin of the sea. The sources of salt. The components of sea water. The salinity of the sea and its variability. How sea life affects sea waters composition.Ages 10+.Grades 5+.

The white-collar thief / Frank E. Hartung -- 5. Role theory, differential association, and compulsive crimes / Donald R. Cressey.Book on criminological research studies and theories in the areas of crime, delinquency and social process. The emphasis in this book, however, is not exclusively on the problems of explaining what statistical distributions of crime and delinquency mean and how individuals become criminals and delinquents. The reader should be aware that as one examines statistical distributions of delinquency and crime rates and offender characteristics one must pay close attention to variables that relate to the settings and circumstances under which the statistics were collected. Once social scientists simply analyzed the available statistical facts. The datum for study is the process by which the statistical information is assembled, not just the final assembly. For example, arrest statistics are often used as the basis of generalizations about the social class distribution of delinquency and crime, but there is systematic underreporting of crimes of respectable segments of the society. Thus, among the selections reprinted in this book are research studies, descriptive accounts, and essays devoted to the illegal activities of businessmen, labor union officials, physicians, politicians, policemen, and middle-class youngsters. The theoretical framework of this book is designed to make these violations just as understandable as the criminal violations of persons in the lower socioeconomic class.
