Painless Spanish $3.95 Middle and senior high school students who dread the idea of having to learn a second language are likely to change their minds when they open this book. Each of its 17 lessons teaches an important and interesting aspect of the Spanish culture even as it presents a lesson in Spanish vocabulary and grammar. All lessons have Spanish titles with English translations, followed by a brief passage written entirely in Spanish. Immediately following the short essay is a vocabulary list with English equivalents covering all key words in the essay. Brief exercises that follow cover grammar, more vocabulary, pronunciation, idioms, and cognates–words that are written alike in English and Spanish, but are pronounced differently.Written passages in English discuss various aspects of Spanish culture and history. Structured in a workbook format, with exercises to test comprehension of the subject matter, Painless Spanish is a language immersion course, but with this important difference: it immerses students gently and painlessly into the Spanish language. |

Change of Habit $6.75 Elvis tried something different in his final narrative movie… but the results are oddly similar to his usual ’60s formula. Here the King plays a doctor working in an inner-city free clinic, playing host to three Catholic nurses (who are really nuns incognito). Elvis gets hung up on one of the nuns, played by Mary Tyler Moore; she seems a lot closer to The Dick Van Dyke Show than the Vatican. … |

For What Purpose Do Late Summer Fronds Change Colors?
If you are like most people, you love to see the changing colors of the Fall leaves when summer shifts into the fall season.
You may have been awed by the beauty of leaves in the fall, yet did you ask yourself the cause of the multicolored leaves? What are the intrinsic differences that make one leaf red and another yellow, orange, or brown?
The purpose leaves provide in regards to the life of a tree provides insights about color variations among leaves. Leaves produce food for the tree.
The process by which leaves create food for trees, though an amazing act of Nature, is not difficult to understand.
How leaves work
- Photosynthesis
- Growth
- Carbon dioxide from the air
Roots provide leaves with the water required for life.
Trees also take carbon dioxide gas from the air. This is why many believe that planting trees helps combat global warming, thinking that each added tree takes more carbon dioxide from the air.
Sunlight is the catalyst that employs water from a tree‘s root system to change carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. An element man cannot live without, oxygen, is a significant consequence of this process! And this is how the leaves feed the tree, with that glucose. The process, start to finish, is called photosynthesis. The green in the leaves comes from chlorophyll, which is a key chemical in the photosynthesis process.
It‘s a mystery how the message is shared, but trees somehow know, or at lease sense, when winter is approaching. At this point in time, trees begin exhibiting consistent signs that they are aware of the season and the changes they must make. The winter season means there no longer will be enough light to fuel the photosynthesis process.
Yet another crucial element of the photosynthesis process is challenged in the winter because cold weather can inhibit the root system’s ability to draw water. Without photosynthesis, the food chain for trees is removed. Tree survival is not challenged, however, because of how much food the tree stored over the spring and summer.
When trees stop making food, they no longer have a need for green chlorophyll. It disappears from the leaves. This draining of the chlorophyll removes all of the green from the leaf. So, it’s not as if the leaf is turning a different color! The fall colors you see in leaves is the real deal when those same leaves aren‘t subjugated to the strong color of green. Once that is removed, you are left with the Fall leaves real color!
