Global Legal Information Network
Legal scholars and those with an interest in the law will definitely
want to take a look at the Global Legal Information Network (GLIN)
website. Here visitors can search official full text legal documents,
including judicial decisions, legislation, and laws. The database is
provided courtesy of the Law Library of the United States Congress,
and it draws from countries from around the world who wish to provide
access to their own legal documents. Some of the countries who
participate in the program include Brazil, Costa Rica, Kuwait, Peru,
and Romania. Visitors will find that the ways to search the database
are extremely helpful. Options include searching by jurisdiction,
publication date, subject terms, and language. The site is rounded
out by a section that provides answers to frequently asked questions
about using the database. [KMG]

Bilime meraklilar icin:

Einstein Light: A Brief Illumination of Relativity
http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/einsteinlight/
With endorsements from both Scientific American and Science
magazines, this website developed by The University of New South
Wales is gaining currency among those interested in using the web for
educational purposes. The basic mission of the Einstein Light site is
to present a brief overview of Einstein?s theory of relativity and
its relationship to the work done by Galileo and Newton. This of
course means they must address such thorny topics as time dilation
and length contraction. They do just that, with the assistance of two
animated models, Zoe and Jasper. Throughout the various modules
presented here, the two models provide the means by which the casual
visitor can begin to understand these concepts. Visitors may also
appreciate the fact that there are also a number of related links
offered here for further edification. Some of the sections here
include ?Electricity and magnetism in a moving frame: what would you
expect?? and ?Is time dilation true??. Overall, this is a
well-designed site that will be of interest to those with a general
interest in this subject and for educators as well. [KMG]
