- High school student Nick Baxter is miffed why his classmate Don didn't include him in Don's school newspaper article on the students most likely to succeed. The three Don chose, while all different, have one common trait that makes them successful now and thus make them candidates for future success: they each have a purpose for which they strive, and place the effort into achieving that purpose. Nick, on the other hand, can't even seem to finish the side table he is working on for woodwork, let alone what he will do tomorrow or what his plans for the future in general are. For the first time really thinking about it, Nick can see in his mind what each of the three chosen to succeed will be doing in their adult lives, while his own future right now he can only see ending up badly in he having no purpose. Taking the first step, he decides to make plans for the table, and it eventually turning into what he envisioned in the plan may provide him some impetus to think about his future.

- Iain explains the geological paradoxes how our green planet's atmosphere is both destructive and protective, mighty and vulnerable, vital to life's metabolism and altered by it. Its many layers have different functions, notably in climatic processes. Its alteration is crucial to climatic change, both natural cyclical and the man-caused greenhouse effect. As winds, ultimately powered by solar energy, deified in various cultures, it shapes matter trough erosion and moves lots of it, especially rains and dust. It also allows air travel.
- After explaining how snow, crystallized frozen water, turns into ice, we examine it's major role in shaping the earth's surface. Glaciers exert enormous forces, capable of extreme erosion, and often faster then it appears. The polar caps are entirely ice-covered, even permanently hiding Antarctica's island archipelago and world top 10-lake. Climate change is largely about ice advance or retreat, which also vastly contributes to currents modification.
- Scientists are on the verge of answering one of the greatest questions in history: Are we alone?
