'Fascinating.' Telegraph Birdie Bowers is a woman with a dead man's
name. Her parents had been fascinated by Henry 'Birdie' Bowers, one
of Captain Scott's companions on his ill-fated polar expedition. A
hundred years after the death of Bowers and Scott, she sets out to
discover what really happened to them... The discovery of Captain
Scott's body in the Antarctic in November 1912 started a global
obsession with him as a man and an explorer. But one mystery
remains - why did he and his companions spend their last ten days
in a tent only 11 miles from the safety of a depot that promised
food and shelter? Dead Men tells the story of two paths. One is a
tragic journey of exploration on the world's coldest continent, the
other charts a present-day relationship and the redemptive power of
love.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the
development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

Telementoring potentially extends opportunities to many more
students and will allow mentors to participate, who otherwise would
find the time investment prohibitive (Muller, 1997). The
integration of telecommunication opportunities has removed many of
the obstacles, such as time and space, which have doomed mentoring
relationships that did not employ telecommunications technology
(Noe, 1988). Understanding the nature of communication between
participants involved in telementoring programs requires the
systematic study of said communication. This research focused upon
the nature of on-line communications in a curriculum-based project
that involved secondary students who electronic mail to mentor
middle school students. On-line communications included character
count, word count, and sentence count of electronic mail
correspondence. One purpose of this study was to determine whether
there are significant differences in the on-line communications of
middle school students with regard to gender and grade level.
Another purpose of this study was to determine if significant
differences existed between middle school and secondary school
participants.
