Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
GIS in environmental contamination is the use of GIS software in mapping out the contaminants in soil and water using the spatial interpolation tools from GIS.  Soil and water contamination by metals and other contaminants have become a major environmental problem after the industrialization across many parts of the world.  As a result, environmental agencies are placed in charge in remediating, monitoring, and mitigating the soil contamination sites.  GIS is used to monitor the sites for metal contaminants in the soil, and based on the GIS analysis, highest risk sites are identified in which majority of the remediation and monitoring takes place.  GIS is used in making spatial interpolations of contaminants in the soil and water.  Spatial interpolation allows for more efficient approach to remediation and monitoring of soil and water contaminants.
