The Science of Life

Projects and Principles for Beginning Biologists
Frank G. Bottone Jr.
Summary
This activity book for budding biologists introduces kids to the five kingdoms of life through 25 engaging projects
using materials commonly found around the house, yard, or classroom. Kids will learn how to conduct experiments
using the scientific method in a carefully controlled environment. They'll make their own culture media and
determine which is more effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria: an antiseptic, a disinfectant, or plain soap
and water. They will delight in collecting and comparing night-flying versus day-flying insects and learn how to
clone a mushroom from a piece of its own tissue. Plenty of background information is provided, along with fun
facts, a glossary, and wonderful Web sites to explore.

Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis

Projects and Principles for Beginning Geologists
Matthys Levy, Mario Salvadori
Summary
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis don't happen every day, so how can budding scientists study how they
work? Through experiments, models, and demonstrations. This in-depth resource will teach readers how to build
a seismograph to record a simulated earthquake, compare pressure waves and shear waves-the two types of
ground shocks-using a Slinky, and replicate a tsunami's destructive effect on a "coastline" built in a bathtub.
Authors Matthys Levy and Mario Salvadori even discuss issues of modern architecture and civil engineering: how
science can be used to protect buildings and property in earthquake-prone areas.
Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis answers a wide array of questions about these phenomena. Can animals
"predict" earthquakes? How have various cultures explained the movement of the earth throughout history? What
Chicago Review Press is the Richter scale, and what does it tell us about the strength of a quake? And most important, readers will
9781556528019 learn how to earthquake-proof their homes, and how to protect themselves should they experience a tremor.

Summary
With colorful and accurate illustrations designed to engage young readers, this book implements an inquiry-style
teaching method that discusses the characteristics that differentiate insects from other organisms. By asking if
each illustration shows an insect before providing information on each animal and how its characteristics do or do
not classify it as an insect, the book encourages readers to participate, from counting the number of legs a
creature has to identifying its body parts. Finishing with a summary of all insect characteristics, it asks the

Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith
Summary
The annual conference Earth at Risk: Building a Resistance Movement to Save the Planet features environmental
thinkers and activists who are willing to ask the hardest questions about the seriousness of the planet's
situation, and this book presents an impassioned critique of the dominant culture from every angle. Speakers

Thomas Linzey, who gives a fiery call for community sovereignty; Jane Caputi, who exposes patriarchy's mythic
dismemberment of the goddess; Aric McBay, who discusses historically effective resistance strategies; and
Stephanie McMillan, who takes down capitalism. One by one, they build an unassailable case that the rich should
be deprived of their ability to steal from the poor and the powerful of their ability to destroy the planet. These
speakers offer their ideas on what can be done to build a real resistance movement: one that includes all levels

Bugs, Bogs, Bats, and Books: Sharing Nature with Children through
Reading
Kathleen T Isaacs
Summary
Reading a book before or after a trip to the zoo, a nighttime look at the stars, or a walk in the forest can
connect children to nature while inspiring discussion and questions. Teacher and librarian Kathleen T. Isaacs
spotlights recent titles appropriate for children ages up to 10 that will help parents and caregivers encourage
children's wonder and enthusiasm for nature. Themed chapters such as "Nature Encounters," "Backyard and
Garden," "From the Earth to the Sky and Beyond," "Naturalists," "Habitats," "Plants and Trees" "Animals," and
"Books for Babies and Toddlers" identify picture books on nature-related subjects that kids love, while also
offering supplemental science activities that adults and children can do together, such as a backyard bird count
and hands-on projects with leaves and flowers. The hundreds of picture books listed and annotated in this
Huron Street Press resource will enrich the joy and excitement of nature for readers of all ages.

Energy Technology
Chris Oxlade
Summary
The New Technology series is an exciting, up-to-date look at new technology and the effect it is having on the
world. Each title looks forward to likely future technological advances that will affect our everyday lives. Today
we are facing an energy crisis. We depend on machines, but the fuels they run on are poisoning our planet. As
they run out, the cost of those fuels will also increase. But what fuels will we be using in the future? Will
renewable sources of power really be able to replace fossil fuels? Will a solar satellite really be able to beam
power down to Earth? Will we really develop a clean form of nuclear power? With developments in energy
technology, ideas that sound like science fiction today could become reality tomorrow.

world. Each title looks forward to likely future technological advances that will affect our everyday lives.Today
our food is already being modified, fortified, packaged, and tracked, but what will happen to our food in the
future? Will cabbages really be modified to taste like chocolate, will skyscrapers really become 'vertical farms'
and will you really be able to eat three year old sandwiches? With developments in food technology, it is very
likely that our food in future will not look the same-or taste the same-as it does today.

Engineering the City

How Infrastructure Works
Matthys Levy, Richard Panchyk
Summary
How does a city obtain water, gas, and electricity? Where do these services come from? How are they
transported? The answer is infrastructure, or the inner, and sometimes invisible, workings of the city. Roads,
railroads, bridges, telephone wires, and power lines are visible elements of the infrastructure; sewers, plumbing
pipes, wires, tunnels, cables, and sometimes rails are usually buried underground or hidden behind walls.
Engineering the City tells the fascinating story of infrastructure as it developed through history along with the
growth of cities. Experiments, games, and construction diagrams show how these structures are built, how they
work, and how they affect the environment of the city and the land outside it.

Doable Renewables
16 Alternative Energy Projects for Young Scientists
Mike Rigsby
Summary
Humankind needs to find and develop alternative forms of energy. As the world's population continues to grow,
more people will need access to lighting, communication, transit, and computing. Fossil fuels are being used up
at an alarming pace, but other energy sources--solar, wind, waves, "waste" heat, and even human power--are
both renewable and environmentally friendly. The projects in this book will help any budding scientist construct
and explore working models that generate renewable, alternative energy.
In Doable Renewables, readers will learn how to build a Kelvin water drop generator out of six recycled cans and
alligator clip jumpers, a solar-powered seesaw from a large dial thermometer and a magnifying glass, and a
Chicago Review Press windmill from eight yardsticks, PVC pipe, cardboard, and converter generator. Children will investigate the

The Verbal Math Lesson I

Step-by-Step Math Without Pencil or Paper
Charan Langton, Michael Levin
Summary
By getting back to the basics, the innovative and time-proven techniques in this resource teach children that
doing math can be fun and effortless. Teaching math verbally eliminates the added challenge of having a firm
grasp on writing skills that are themselves still being learned, and does away with tedious worksheets.
Separating tasks and learning math verbally not only helps children to solve math problems efficiently, but also
teaches them to think conceptually rather than focusing all the effort on writing mechanics. This method
stimulates speed and accuracy and is critical for success in higher school grades.
The lessons in this book are developed for children in first grade, with exercises geared specifically for their age
and ability.
