Welcome to the Learning Zone

Welcome to the learning zone of my website. I hope to put some stuff here that will help you with your school work, starting with photos and artwork that you can download to illustrate your project.

Hi, looks like you will need to download flash.

Then there will be a section about those parts of Arabia that are dry as a bone, and so hot during the day that you can fry an egg on the sand. What diabolical, dead places they are where surely nothing can possibly live…but WAIT… that's not true.

Many creatures, birds and plants have worked out how to adapt so that even when the sun is impossibly hot, they can cope, and even enjoy living there. I am working on that, and another section about Islamic art…which will be loaded on to the Blog shortly.
