Do Antidepressants Really Work?
For more than two decades, antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and Effexor have been widely used to treat the most common mental illness. But do they really work as well as most of us think? Research studies show that these SSRI drugs don’t always work better than the inert sugar pills they are tested against.

 NATURE
Kilauea: Mountain of Fire
Kilauea, on Hawaii's Big Island, is the world's most active volcano.
Its latest eruption began in 1983 and it hasn't stopped since. During
that time it has created 544 acres of new land and has consumed 200
homes. But as we watch nature's own fireworks display and witness the
devastation wrought by flowing lava, we've also been able to observe a
process that's central to life on these islands.
