Show detail Hide detail

Science magazine.~Women of Kerala. The women of Kerala, the densely populated state of Kerala in the southern tip of India, have taken control of their own fertility. With one per cent of the land and four per cent of the population of the country, the people of Kerala saw in the sixties the onimous prospect of their population doubling every 25 years. The birthrate has now been reduced by almost forty per cent in little more than a decade, owing to the rapid improvement in infant and child health and the strong tradition of independence and education in the women of Kerala.~Vortex. Clouds around the eye of a storn, stardust sucked into a black hole in space, the cream in your coffee. The vortex is one of nature's primary patterns of movement - fluid rotating in a finite space. Migrating birds fly in the vortical currents created by their leaders, saving energy for the long journey. Vortices allow the hummingbird to hover, and give the Concorde stability and lift. These complex forms of spiral motion, found everywhere in nature, are the focus of research in many areas of science and technology.
