'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.

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.
