 Atlas
of Satellite Observations Related to Global Change
by R. J. Gurney (Editor), J. L.
Foster, Kathryn D. Sullican, Claire L. Parkinson (Editor).
Global environmental change is one of the most pressing
international issues of the next century. There is a need to
monitor the Earth's vital signs, from atmospheric ozone to
tropical deforestation to sea level change. Satellite data sets
will be vital in addressing global change issues, in determining
natural variability and monitoring global and regional changes.
This highly illustrated and accessible volume demonstrates the
variety of satellite-derived global data sets now available,
their uses, advantages and limitations, and the range of
variation that has already been observed with these data....

Earth is the only planet whose English
name does not derive from Greek/Roman mythology. The name derives from Old English and
Germanic. There are, of course, hundreds of other names for the planet in other languages.
In Roman Mythology, the goddess of the Earth was Tellus - the fertile
soil (Greek: Gaia,
terra mater - Mother Earth)...

A resource for education and action on environmental and ecology issues.
Excerpt:
As a Pagan and Witch I firmly believe it is my responsibility to care for the Earth, our Mother. In fact, while I wouldn't
shove it down anyone's throat, I do think that any Pagan worth their salt should be
an environmentally-friendly person. How can you claim to worship an entity that you destroy? There are lots of environmentally-friendly
ways to live. Hopefully on these pages I'll be able to help you with a
few of them. At the moment this site is mainly concerned with Australia, but I'm constantly adding new things and this includes
more global news and links.

The NASA Space Shuttle Earth Observations Photography
database of over 250,000 images is a national treasure . We are publishing these
selected photos and related captions on the Internet to provide a glimpse of this national
treasure to the public. This database was compiled by our staff to illustrate some very
interesting Earth features and processes, including cities as seen by our Astronauts from
space.
Within this set of web pages, you will find several ways to search the database and
view multiple resolutions of each image with captions.

This site consists of a series of photos of planet earth
taken from various Space Shuttle Missions. The images are very large.

You can view either a map of the Earth
showing the day and night regions at this moment, or view the Earth from the Sun, the Moon, the night side of the
Earth, above any location on the planet specified by latitude, longitude and altitude,
from a satellite in Earth orbit,
or above various cities around
the globe. In addition to the Earth, you can also view the Moon from the Earth,
Sun,
night
side, above named
formations on the lunar surface. or as a map
showing day and night. A related document compares the appearance of the Moon at perigee and apogee,
including an interactive Perigee
and Apogee Calculator. |

Written by John McConnell, Founder of Earth Day. Prelude:
The people of planet Earth have the raw materials, natural resources, and the technology
for all to enjoy a life of quality. But they are still restricted by the evil that has
dominated history. They lack the vision of the great future now possible and how to attain
it. As a result, the world is filled with confusion and conflict...
