During his first trip, Palin had traveled around the world horizontally. Now the plan was for him to do it vesticalhy by going from the North Pole to the South Pole, For the “Pole to Pole” trek, Pulin began neue the Arctic Circle From there he traveled south through Eatope, across the Mediterranean, through Africa, ultimately reaching his final destination of Antarctica five months later. ‘Ihe journey was so challenging that, by the end of ft, he vowe: never to do another travel documentary again, But after seeing so many amaring people and places, he couldn't stop, His next expedition, called “Pull Circle” documented his trip around the countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Tt was the longest, mast ambitious, and most exhausting of all his travels. He ‘covered 50000 miles (80,000 km), traveled through seventeen countries, and filmed for ten months. In later outings he crossed the Sahara, enduring the blinding sandstorms and punishing heat that the desert is known Notable and Quotable _ “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigatry, and narrow- mindedness.” Mark Twain “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” —St, Augustine “He who does not travel doas not know the value of men.” — Moorish proverb “No one realizes how beautiful itis to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.” —Lin Yutang for. He also explored and filmed in the Himalayas, ‘experiencing the anxiety and physical demands af working at high altitude, In total, Palin has made seven major international trips that he has recorded both visually and in writing, However, he has also gone on smaller, more personal treks, such as “From Derry to Kerry” Travelling across Ireland, Palin went in search of his family’s own story, tracing his great-grandmother's roots, and learning about the journey his own family took from Ireland to the United States in the 1800s, Millions enjoy Palin films and books.

Common sense tells pet owners that their dog or cat has some intellectual aptitude. But that is people’ gut instinct and not science, What Pepperberg hoped to accomplish was to prove that an animal is capable of thinking, “Some people actually called me craay for trying this” she seid. “Scientists though! that chimpanzees were better subjects, although, of course, chimps can’: speak” Alex learned to speak. In fact, he excelled at speaking, Alex learned how to imitate almost one hundred English words Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. “Tm sure he already knows both numbers,” Pepperberg said. “He'll probably be able to count Le ten, but hed still learning to say the words. It takes far more time to teach him certain sounds than T ever imagined” Alex leaned forward and opened his beak: “Ssse. .. won.” “that’s good, Alex,’ Pepperberg said. “Seven, The number is seven.” “Ssse... won!

Pepperberg seid, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex atleast ten tines in a row, “Tn not trying to see if Alex can Jearn a human language,” she added. “My plan always ‘was to use his imitative skills to gel beter understanding of avian® cognition.” In other wordls, because Alex was able to produce the sounds of some English words, Pepperberg could ask hirn questions about a bird’s basic understanding of the world, She coulda’ ask him what he was thinking about, but she could ask him about his knowledge of numbers, shapes, and colors.
