Abstract The purpose of this paper is to reflect on Sandra Steingraber ’s book‚ Living Downstream: An Ecologist Looks at Cancer and the Environment. I will examine Sandra Steingraber ’s compilation of scientific studies that link environmental pollution‚ contamination and toxicity to various types of cancers in humans and in animals as well. I will also discuss my personal opinion of the book‚ how my thinking and perspective has changed as a result of this book‚ and the importance and value of

How many of you drink energy drinks? Just one a day or a few a day? Did you know that while only one a day may not lead to excessive caffeine intake‚ two or more in a single day can? Excessive amounts of caffeine intake can lead to headaches‚ jitteriness‚ and upset stomachs. Kentucky is thinking about passing a law to make it illegal for someone under 18 to buy energy drinks. Many people (including me) want this law to be passed. When I did my research on this issue‚ it was found that in France

Application of Energy ------------------------------------------------- Forms of energy Main article: Forms of energy Energy exists in many forms: Heat‚ a form of energy‚ is partly potential energy and partly kinetic energy. In the context of physical sciences‚ several forms of energy have been defined. These include: * Thermal energy‚ thermal energy in transit is called heat * Chemical energy * Electric energy * Radiant energy‚ the energy of electromagnetic radiation *
