Awesome book - 11 yr old daughter read it all in 7 days
My daughter loved this book. Once she decided to try to read it she couldn't put it down. She finished the last half of the book in an all day reading marathon. She wants to continue reading the rest of the series. Her friend and her grandmother both want to borrow the book now based on her rating of it.

How to Make and Use Your Own Chemistry Set
I still remember getting my first chemistry set from a school teacher aunt when I was 10 or 11. About 30 small bottles of chemicals, and instructions for mixing them in various ways. You could make concoctions that would smoke in different colors, compounds that would fizz and bubble, turn liquids to solids, solids to liquids, the list goes on. It was my first introduction to science, and the ...

The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil

Philip Zimbardo

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008

An important book of our time.
First let me disclaim that there was a section of the book I did not read because it was incorrectly bound -- it went from page 426 to page 375, but the new p. 375 was different from the one that had preceded it. [I'm guessing that the reason Amazon is out of stock while the book enjoys top 10 status is because they are trying to restock with "good" copies] Nonetheless, this book is so rich ...

Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth

Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi, Mahadev H. Desai

Beacon Press, 1993

A life changing book
This is easily the most powerful book I have ever read. Gandhi does a great job of telling the story in his life in such a way that not only tells a story, but teaches lessons that go along with it. The title explains a lot, considering that Gandhi considered his entire life to be an expirement with the truth. He is very open about the mistakes that were made (such as his marraige and bigotry ...

And from out of left field comes...
Children's librarians must find books to add to their collections from a wide variety of different sources. They read professional serials like Horn Book and School Library Journal. They receive Advanced Readers Copies and read clever blogs that always discuss new titles (cough). Far less professional but no less important, however, is the regular trip to the large corporate bookstore with the ...

Forty Studies that Changed Psychology: Explorations into the History of Psychological Research (6th Edition)

Roger R. Hock

Prentice Hall, 2008

textbooks can be good
I really wasn't looking forward to yet another psychology text, but this one is actually enjoyable. The author has managed to pare down each study to the essentials and doesn't waste a ton of space trying to entertain the reader. I would recommend it for anyone interested in how the mind works, and the information that has made our understanding greater.

The Gulag Archipelago Volume 1: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.)

2 reviews
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2007

The best book I have read in years! A real eye-opener.
For any who have any nostalgia for the Soviet Union, this book should put it to rest. This book is hard to categorize; it is more than one man's opinion, but less than an objective history. It is, as Solzhenitsyn puts it, "an experiment in literary investigation": a combination memoir and dissertation on the evils of Communism and its inevitable product, the forced labor camp. Some have ...

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2007

Well worth reading
This book is a learning experience. It is somewhat difficult reading, but it contains so many valuable lessons about life. The book made me think of Buddhism, although it was never mentioned. It is filled with descriptions of the torture the inhabitants of the gulags went through; on looking back on reading these I concluded that it was important to laboriously read and think about all of ...

Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenitsyn

Harpercollins, 1974

The nail in the coffin of the Soviet State
"A stone is not a human being, and even stones get crushed." This was an absolutely brutal, yet enlightening read. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a young, decorated Red Army officer who served bravely during the war, only to be arrested, tortured, and sent to the Gulag Archipelago (the forced labor camp system) to do a ten year sentence, followed by permanent internal exile. This book is a ...

Adventures With Atoms and Molecules: Chemistry Experiments for Young People (Adventures With Science , No 1)

Robert C. Mebane, Thomas R. Rybolt

Enslow Publishers, 1998

Beware - (V. 5: Adventures With Science) (Library Binding) is NOT Book 5
These are great books overall - simple chemistry experiments covering materials (household items), procedures, observations, and discussions. Books 1-5 do not progress in difficulty. Each book provides different experiments to compliment things learned in previous books.

The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments

George Johnson

Knopf, 2008

Delightful Reminders
George Johnson chose experiments that "...were those rare moments when, using the materials at hand, a curious soul figured out a way to pose a question to the universe and persisted until it replied." Most of the experiments Johnson chose are familiar to science enthusiast but usually we haven't thought about them in years; this book is a delightful reminder. The ten experiments range from ...

Joseph P. Farrell

Adventures Unlimited Press, 2008

more great work from Farrell
This is the latest book from Joseph P. Farrell, one of the best authors ever to grace the alternative science/history genre. I discovered Farrell by accident when I encountered a copy of part of his Reich of the Black Sun online. I was so impressed by his knowledge, insight, and ability to put strange ideas in perspective, I immediately began buying everything he had written. (Amazon loves me. ...

Just Plain Fun
Being a parent and a science teacher, I really love this book. It takes me back to my younger years when it was fun to launch anything more than 10 feet and still have all of your hair intact. What fun this book is! Gurstelle is great!

This was My First Science Book!
I am 20 years old now and I still remember when I got this book and read it for the first time. It made science so cool and was a great way to show kids how science can be cool. I actually just found this book in a big stack and decided to look it up on Amazon. GREAT to hear they still sell it. I recommend this book to every kid!
