NEW!!! Those Amazing Scientists

An excellent introduction to engineering for kids, parents, schools, and libraries—and for anyone young or old who wants to learn about the exciting fields of science. The book is particularly timely, given the recent focus by the U.S. Congress, the President, and the press on the critical need to interest more young people in science as a career.

Those Amazing Scientists helps young readers understand that scientists ask important  questions that often solve real-world problems. The book is full of examples kids can relate to—from how it may be possible to create an “invisibility cloak” to how math makes Shrek talk and move to why chocolate can be good for you.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Sections on different fields of science, from earth science to psychology
  • "Science Hall of Fame, A Kid’s Eye View" with kid-friendly examples from Hula Hoops to DVDs
  • "The World of Science," featuring exciting scientific field trips
  • "How Do I Get There From Here?" and "When Can I Start?", offering practical suggestions on activities that are stepping stones to a science career.
