book The Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres
around 1543, the year of his death. His Sun-centred
universe, along with the nation that the Earth spins
on its axis, upset some other astronomers and
churchmen. To claim that God would place his
creation on a spinning ball that revolved around
another heavenly body struck many people as
ridiculous, as it was against the teachings of the
Catholic Church. The controversy only caught fire,
however, after 110, when physicist and astronomer
Galileo Galilei of Pisa published a book about his
own astronomical observations, which supported
those of Copernicus. The Catholic Church banned
Copernicus’ book, The Revolution of the Heavenly

persisted in believing that she would soon be
delivered of an heir, it was obvious to everyone else

this request tormented Mary until her last breath.
Upon hearing that Mary was dead and that
Elizabeth was now queen, there was great rejoicing
in London. All across the capital, church bells were

thousands of people gathered to make merry. The

People in less developed countries collect

sceptics wondered whether there had been a testing
mistake, or, perhaps, whether the person in the
grave had been a warrior after all. A new review of
the evidence led by Neil Price of Uppsala University
concludes that the person in the grave was indeed
biologically female, and that there is no reason to
doubt that she was a warrior in a position of great
authority. “Ever since its excavation, the burial has
been interpreted as that of a high-status warrior,”
says Price. “We think so, too, for exactly the same

What really puzzles the Italian geologist is that Etna
also discharges more than 7 million tonnes of
steam, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide every
year. The normal explanation is that gas bubbles
out of magma as it moves up the volcano’s vent.
However, Fertilo claims that Etna would need to
erupt ten times more lava than it does to account for
all the gas. He also argues that Etna is not just fed
by magma. He states that its deep plumbing system
could hold lots of water, carbon dioxide and sulphur
dioxide, making up about 70 percent of the material
feeding the volcano. According to Fertilo, such a
system is closer to a spring rather than a volcano.
However, according to Kayla lacovino, there are
simpler alternatives. She has argued that the

landscape and affecting the local environment.
Although there are good reasons for dams (mainly
to stop flooding in populated areas), there are often
just as many potential problems. One in particular is
the erosion that occurs just below the main structure
holding back the water. Because sediment is no
longer transported within the water (the load is
dropped in the reservoir), the water from the
spillway often erodes the channel immediately
below. Another problem can also arise from the fact
that because there is less sediment load, there is
also less of a delta being formed at the mouth of a
river. For example, the Aswan High Dam along the
Nile River in Egypt was finished in 1966, primarily to
provide electricity and irrigation. But the water is

problem for teachers. Videogames drop kids into
complex problems where they fail and fail, but they

These early tantrums are simply an infant’s attempt observed cases of acting out
to communicate feelings of dissatisfaction or
extreme disappointment. Observed behaviours in
infants trying to express their anger or frustration
usually include angry-sounding crying and kicking
hands and feet. For toddlers, such violent outbursts
of temper often include hitting, kicking, and biting
others, and possibly self-injurious behaviours such
as head-banging. Temper tantrums can include any
highly emotional, disruptive, and unacceptable
outburst that appears to be the child’s reaction to
unmet needs or wishes. A primary reason for such
emotional lack of control in a child, especially above
the age of three or four, is having not learnt how to
cope with their own frustration. Such temper
tantrums usually peak between the ages of two and
