Big education publisher to end printed textbooks
The world's largest education publisher, Pearson, has said it will gradually phase out printed textbooks. It has taken a decision to make all of its learning resources "digital first". Pearson said the future of the industry is in e-books and digital services. Pearson CEO John Fallon explained more about the company's future direction. He told the BBC: "We are now over the digital tipping point. Over half our annual revenues come from digital sales, so we've decided, a little bit like in other industries like newspapers or music or in broadcast, that it is time to flick the switch in how we primarily make and create our products." He added: "I am increasingly confident and excited about this." Pearson said a huge advantage of digital books is that they can be continually updated, _________3 means teachers will always have access to the latest versions of textbooks. Mr. Fallon said Pearson would stop its current business model of revising printed course books every three years. He said this model has dominated the industry for over four decades and is now past its use-by date. Fallon said: "We learn by engaging and sharing with others, and a digital environment enables you to do that in a much more effective way." He added the digital books will appeal to the "Netflix and Spotify generation". Textbook writers are worried they will earn less from their books as digital products are sold on a subscription basis.

Up Close With Sebastião Salgado, Brazil’s Legendary
Photographer-Activist
By Fernanda Ezabella (Folha de S.Paulo/Worldcrunch)
(Alto Xingu Indians in Central Brazil.
Sebastião Salgado/Amazonas Images)
Sebastião Salgado’s blue eyes have seen a bit of everything
in this world – and this might not even be an exaggeration. For
the past eight years in particular, the 69-year-old Brazilian
photographer has travelled to more than 30 isolated regions
of the world, collecting images of dozens of remote tribes,
endangered animals and unusual landscapes.
The Genesis project is a singular photographic journey
that began in 2004 and ended in 2012, at a cost of one million
Euros a year. The result will be shown in magazines, books, a
documentary by Wim Wenders and a series of exhibitions around
the world, each displaying some 250 black-and-white photos.
The first exhibition will open in London on April 11, with
former Brazilian President Lula – Salgado’s long-time friend –
as special guest. “We want to create a little movement around
these photos to provoke a debate on what we need to preserve,”
he says. Salgado defends environmental causes through his
organization, Instituto Terra. Even after travelling to so many
exotic places, Salgado, now living in Paris, still takes vacations
in Brazil. Here are excerpts from a conversation Salgado had
with Folha, with new details about his travels, photographic
techniques and new environmental projects.
• Coldest trip
I visited the Nenets, in the Yamal peninsula, in northern
Siberia, Russia. They are a nomadic tribe who raise reindeer in
extreme Arctic conditions. When I went there it was spring and
weather ranged between -35ºC and -45ºC. I didn’t wash myself
for 45 days. They don’t take baths because there is no water. The
only way to get water is to break off a piece of ice and warm it
in a pot.
• Frozen equipment
I used a Canon, an EOS1 Mark III, a very powerful machine.
The problem was the batteries. In the Siberian temperatures, they
quickly lost power. On average, I take 2,500 shots per battery,
but this time I could only take 300-400 photos before the battery
stopped working. I would put it inside my clothes, my assistant
would give me another one, I would take 300 more pictures and,
when that battery ran out energy, I would take out the other one
and it would work again.
• Going digital for the first time
I started Genesis with film and changed to digital. The
airport X-Ray scanners degrade the quality of film, and so I
decided to change to digital and was quite surprised. Quality
was better than the one I had with negatives in medium format.
I turned off the screen on the back of the camera, and used my
camera as I have always done. When I came back to Paris, I
printed contact sheets and edited the photos using a magnifying
glass, because I don’t know how to do it in the computer.
• Stone Ages
I met tribes that are still living in the Stone Ages, with
working tools such as stone hammers. There were clans of about
10 people living in treetops. They had already seen white people
before. They looked towards the direction I had come from and
the chief asked me whether I was part of the white people clan
that usually came from that direction. Because, for them, the
world is all made of clans.
• Brazilian arrows
I met the Zo’e tribe, in Brazil, who were first discovered
15 years ago and live in a state of total purity. You see the guy
working with an arrow. He warms it, put some weight on it, a
straight feather if he wants a quicker arrow, a rounder one to
have it slower. It is the same science as for rockets. And he’s got
the same problem as in Cape Canaveral, to recover his rockets.
If his ballistic calculations are wrong, he loses his arrow. He
takes only 10 arrows with him when he goes hunting, no more
than that.
• Activist or photographer?
Photography is my life. When I am taking photos, I am in
a deep trance. When I have my camera and am travelling with
the Nenets, it’s my life, morning to night. I have taken incredible
photos, but my life is also the environment and Instituto Terra.

If his ballistic calculations are wrong, he loses his arrow. He
takes only 10 arrows with him when he goes hunting, no more

Photography is my life. When I am taking photos, I am in

photos, but my life is also the environment and Instituto Terra.

Up Close With Sebastião Salgado, Brazil’s Legendary
Photographer-Activist
By Fernanda Ezabella (Folha de S.Paulo/Worldcrunch)
(Alto Xingu Indians in Central Brazil.

Sebastião Salgado’s blue eyes have seen a bit of everything
in this world – and this might not even be an exaggeration. For
the past eight years in particular, the 69-year-old Brazilian
photographer has travelled to more than 30 isolated regions
of the world, collecting images of dozens of remote tribes,
endangered animals and unusual landscapes.
The Genesis project is a singular photographic journey
that began in 2004 and ended in 2012, at a cost of one million
Euros a year. The result will be shown in magazines, books, a
documentary by Wim Wenders and a series of exhibitions around
the world, each displaying some 250 black-and-white photos.
The first exhibition will open in London on April 11, with
former Brazilian President Lula – Salgado’s long-time friend –
as special guest. “We want to create a little movement around
these photos to provoke a debate on what we need to preserve,”
he says. Salgado defends environmental causes through his
organization, Instituto Terra. Even after travelling to so many
exotic places, Salgado, now living in Paris, still takes vacations
in Brazil. Here are excerpts from a conversation Salgado had
with Folha, with new details about his travels, photographic
techniques and new environmental projects.
• Coldest trip
I visited the Nenets, in the Yamal peninsula, in northern
Siberia, Russia. They are a nomadic tribe who raise reindeer in
extreme Arctic conditions. When I went there it was spring and
weather ranged between -35ºC and -45ºC. I didn’t wash myself
for 45 days. They don’t take baths because there is no water. The
only way to get water is to break off a piece of ice and warm it
in a pot.
• Frozen equipment
I used a Canon, an EOS1 Mark III, a very powerful machine.
The problem was the batteries. In the Siberian temperatures, they
quickly lost power. On average, I take 2,500 shots per battery,
but this time I could only take 300-400 photos before the battery
stopped working. I would put it inside my clothes, my assistant
would give me another one, I would take 300 more pictures and,
when that battery ran out energy, I would take out the other one
and it would work again.
• Going digital for the first time
I started Genesis with film and changed to digital. The
airport X-Ray scanners degrade the quality of film, and so I
decided to change to digital and was quite surprised. Quality
was better than the one I had with negatives in medium format.
I turned off the screen on the back of the camera, and used my
camera as I have always done. When I came back to Paris, I
printed contact sheets and edited the photos using a magnifying
glass, because I don’t know how to do it in the computer.
• Stone Ages
I met tribes that are still living in the Stone Ages, with
working tools such as stone hammers. There were clans of about
10 people living in treetops. They had already seen white people
before. They looked towards the direction I had come from and
the chief asked me whether I was part of the white people clan
that usually came from that direction. Because, for them, the
world is all made of clans.
• Brazilian arrows
I met the Zo’e tribe, in Brazil, who were first discovered
15 years ago and live in a state of total purity. You see the guy
working with an arrow. He warms it, put some weight on it, a
straight feather if he wants a quicker arrow, a rounder one to
have it slower. It is the same science as for rockets. And he’s got
the same problem as in Cape Canaveral, to recover his rockets.
If his ballistic calculations are wrong, he loses his arrow. He
takes only 10 arrows with him when he goes hunting, no more
than that.

As we all know, electricity is a fundamental need. On a daily basis, we consume electricity even without us
knowing it. Just a simple task such as listening to your music player consumes electricity. Today, most of our electric
generators and power plants are fed with fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. However, due to the exponential
increase of power demand, fossil fuel supplies are slowly being depleted. Not only that, but also burning fossil fuels
has given off greenhouse gases and other unwanted byproducts. Because of this, the search for alternative energy
sources is now a necessity. One of the most promising alternative energy sources today is Wind Powered Generators.
So, what is a wind-powered generator? Basically it is the use of wind as a mechanical force needed to power an electric
generator. Utilizing wind as an energy source is not exactly a new idea. The ancient Persians were the first to use wind
to pump water, cut wood, and grind food and others by building windmills. Even today you can find windmills still
being used on some farms. It was the use of wind as an electric source that came into existence much later. The first
practical wind powered generators were built in 1970, but yet we rarely see them in widespread use today, why? Let’s
look at the advantages and disadvantages of the wind powered generator.
The main advantage of wind powered generators is that they have, ideally, zero gas emissions – unlike fossil-fueled
power generators. Because of the alarming effects of greenhouse gases and global warming, we want our power
generators to be as clean and as environmentally friendly as possible. Since there is no burning process in a wind
powered generator that produces toxic gases, it is very safe to build one in residential areas. Also, with proper
engineering and enough wind, these generators can provide a high rate of wattage that can go as high as the Megawatt
range. Another advantage is that it can be implemented using several small turbines connected together. This is a good
thing when there is not enough space for huge structures.
The major disadvantage of wind powered generators is that wind power varies greatly from one place to another
and from day to day and season to season. Sometimes wind may be strong enough to supply energy, but that strength
cannot be maintained due to changes in weather patterns. Needing strong, constant wind to most effectively power
wind generators is one reason they are often built in coastal areas. Another disadvantage is that the structure of most
practical wind powered generators is huge and bulky. Commonly, its size is proportional to the wind power it can
collect.
Research in wind power has now intensified because of its innate advantages over other power generators. With
this increase in interest in wind energy and alternative energy sources as a whole, our future will become brighter and
more and more remote areas will eventually enjoy the benefits of clean electric energy. In an electricity-dependent
world, power supplies must provide the required electricity for communities and businesses. Wind powered generators
might just be the solution for power shortages.
