Narrative text and you-are-there photos put the reader in the middle of this misunderstood biome and critical habitat.

Discusses the scientific studies of the ozone layer in the Earth''s atmosphere, and the causes and effects of depletions of this layer.

"Patients diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 at a small Midwest critical access hospital are receiving inconsistent diabetic teaching and follow-up education by multiple staff; thus, patients are getting mixed messages on how to care for themselves at home. Staff nurses were surveyed at this small Midwest critical access hospital and were supportive of an in-service on Diabetes Mellitus type 1. An array of teaching/learning styles was reviewed in search for the best style to teach Diabetes Mellitus type 1 to the staff nurses. Based on the concepts in Pender''s health promotion model (2011) individuals look to regulate their own behaviors to reach optimal health. These behaviors can be identified and adjusted through nursing interventions ... An interactive in-service focused on Diabetes Mellitus type 1 education was designed for staff nurses to attend and motivate them in an encouraging environment."--Abstract.
