The Pocket Daring Book for Girls: Things to Do Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I checked out the large book from the library and gave it to my grandaughter to see how she liked it. She did! But it's a huge book and it's filled with alot of history. I decided to invest in this pocket version, which is the majority of hands on activities from the book. It's quite nice.
Two disappointments were that it does not include the Sun Saluation poses or the Karate poses that my grandaughter enjoyed trying. Maybe I can find those online and include them as inserts.
Overall, it's a winner!

LabVIEW Signal Processing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm using this book in conjunction with an experimental methods class this semester. I did have some exposure to LabVIEW before, but this book has taught me more in two chapters than I learned all last semester. (It's also been a very basic review of waves). The material is presented in an intelligent order and I've had no trouble finding things. The layout lends well to self teaching as well.

Tools of Navigation: A Kid's Guide to the History & Science of Finding Your Way (Tools of Discovery series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is titled "Tools of Navigation, a Kid's Guide to the History & Science of Finding Your Way," but this 45-year-old reviewer found it fascinating. I've always loved reading books about people who venture to the North Pole, through the Amazon Rainforest, or across the Sahara Desert, but always wondered how they did it without getting hopelessly lost. Author Rachel Dickinson sheds light on this mystery.
The book explains navigation from the Ice Age to the present, and also includes info on ancient navigators such as Marco Polo, Lewis & Clark, Robert Peary, and Ferdinand Magellan. It's very easy to understand and includes great photos and lots of fun activities, such as: how to make your own compass, go on a treasure hunt, work with topographic maps, and make a sky chart that maps out constellations.
Rachel Dickinson does a wonderful job of explaining navigation and history. It's a great book for parents to share with their children or teachers to share with their classroom. But it's also a fascinating read for anyone interested in navigation, history, and early explorers.
