" Our Choice will change the way we read books. And quite possibly change the world. In this interactive app, Al Gore surveys the causes of global warming and presents groundbreaking insights and solutions already under study and underway that can help stop the unfolding disaster of global warming. Our Choice melds the vice president's narrative with photography, interactive graphics, animations, and more than an hour of engrossing documentary footage. A new, groundbreaking multi-touch interface allows you to experience that content seamlessly. Pick up and explore anything you see in the book; zoom out to the visual table of contents and quickly browse though the chapters; reach in and explore data-rich interactive graphics. "

"Earth's Hope is the theme of the EARCOS Global Issues Network Conference to be held in Beijing April 4, 5 & 6 at Western Academy of Beijing. The Global Issues Network is based on the ideas in Jean Francois Rischard's book High Noon "Twenty Global Problems, Twenty Years to Solve Them." Rischard identifies 20 urgent global problems and encourages the formation of small groups around the world to help solve them. This echoes Margaret Mead's famous quotation, "Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Global Issues Groups have been formed in many international schools throughout the world empowering international school students to help solve urgent global problems. We in EARCOS will now have the opportunity to do the same to create change in Asia. We invite all EARCOS schools to send a group(2-6) of students to this life changing event.

" this is a pretty good (if traditional text-book type) resource for IB level physics students. Topics are easy to navigate either through index or mind map type diagrams. Good clear explanations with plenty of links. Not brilliant for sample questions though. Since it's not IB specific the user needs to use the syllabus! "
