Each Text Set (coming 11-15-15) contains articles from the award-winning science magazine, Nautilus, each accompanied by lesson plans and guides for teachers.
The Nautilus issue eBooks deliver the full depth and complexity of modern science to our reader with style and imagination. We challenge our readers, not just with deep and broad stories, but with imagining how those stories relate to each other.
