our textbook budgets, for example, there's a whole different conversation about textbooks. we need to get away from textbooks and get into the ipad type of equipment that i think in the lock -- long term will be less expensive and more up to date. the redundancy looks like it's easy to solve, but we're a state where local control is important. we believe -- when you try to close small districts down and create larger districts, people say, wait ut loe're about local control. this is where our kids go. it will take quite an evident at the state -- quite an effort at the state level to move away from that. we're all looking how to economize. we're trying to make the decisions as the economy keeps getting worse and worse and worse. we have cut more out of public education in the last four years than was cut during the great depression. during the great depression they did not cut as much from public education as the legislature and governor have done over the last four years. it's criminal. weed in to have enough to make sure that our schools are efficient and serve our kids.

however, there's not a single psychology textbook or a social psychology textbook that has a paragraph, let alone a chapter on the importance of animals in our lives. one of the things i wanted to do is say this is important, and as people who are studying this stuff, and we deserve, you know, our place in the sciences, and give us research money to explore this. another goal that i had was to write a book that worked at two levelsment one is i wanted to have scientific chops. i wanted it to be rigorous enough scientifically that my colleagues in my field would read it and they would have to take a seriously. when i was writing the book, i had a thousand footnotes in the book. i told the editor, by the way, don't be surprised with the thousand foot newts in there. there was a long clause saying we can't do that. get it to 500. i cheated and combined some stuff and got it down to 500, but i wanted enough data in there to be scientific. i wanted the back to appeal -- the book to appeal to a popular audience. as far as i can tell, for the most part they've had almost no impact at all.

just standing here gives those dusty textbooks you read in school an exhilarating new dimension. religious and civic life in the old city revolved around this sacred citadel. and it was the center of a cultural explosion in which athens would influence the western world more than any other city on earth. maxa: the golden age of athens lasted only about 50 years. from 480 to 430 b.c. but during this time, the greeks made huge leaps in philosophy, politics, science, and the arts. architecture flourished, and the athenian statesman, pericles, initiated a grand building program that would transform the acropolis. temples were the most important structures of their day. made of marble or stone, they were built with a long main room surrounded by columns. greek temples were so beautiful that, more than 2,000 years later, european and american architects continue to copy them. the 2,400-year-old parthenon was intended as a new sanctuary for athena. the shrewd builders knew that straight lines, when viewed from below, appear curved. so they compensated. the columns were designed to becom
