 The Tech is a cosmopolitan museum singularly focused on technology—how it works and the way that it is changing every aspect of the way we work, live, play and learn. Its people-and-technology focus and the integration of advanced technologies into visitor experiences and infrastructure, distinguishes it from other science centers.

Excerpt: 

The story of the Nobel Prizes and of the people who have won them has a peculiar interest about it in our own time, not least because at the end of our own century - the century of the Nobel Prize-winners - the world will enter a new millennium. Such a conjunction 1,000 years ago created both interest and concern. How will our century be related not only to the next century, but to the next millennium? To what extent are the Nobel Prize-winners, outstanding in their own generation, pointing the way? Ours has been the only century when it has been possible for a book to appear with the title Tomorrow is Already Here.

Annotation: 

The Nobel Channel site gives users information about the Alfred Nobel and the winners of past Nobel Prizes. Not every Nobel winner is represented here, but there are several completed profiles that represent a range of periods and disciplines. Each section contains a timeline and narrative of events leading to the achievement that was honored, profiles of the winners, and a short video presentation explaining the importance of their work. The site gives a biography of Nobel himself as well.

Excerpt: 

Historians who know nothing else about American religion often know one thing for sure: in July of 1925 fundamentalists got their noses rubbed in the dirt at the Rhea County Courthouse in Dayton, Tennessee. That building, of course, housed the famous Monkey Trial, the place where rural traditionalism met and finally bowed to the forces of urban secularism. This image, perpetuated by numerous journalists, by the popular play and movie Inherit the Wind, and even by respected textbooks, contains some truth and considerable mistruth. The task is to get it all sorted out.

Excerpt: 

The telephone was first introduced at the Centennial Exposition in 1876 and was an instant success. Although first rented only to "persons of good breeding" and seen as an expensive luxury for doctors and businessmen, the telephone soon transformed American life. Trees gave way to telephone poles as operators known as "hello girls" began to connect a sprawling continent.
