Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Your alarm goes off, and you head to the kitchen to make yourself some toast and a cup of coffee. Little do you know, as you savor the aroma of the steam rising from your cup, that your ordinary morning routine depends on some of the weirdest phenomena ever discovered. The world of quantum physics is generally thought of as hopelessly esoteric. While classical physics gives us the laws governing why a ball rolls downhill, how a plane is able to fly, and so on, its quantum cousin gives us particles that are actually waves, spooky action at a distance, and Schrodinger's unlucky cat. But, believe it or not, even the most mundane of everyday activities is profoundly influenced by the abstract and exotic world of the quantum. In Breakfast with Einstein, Chad Orzel illuminates the strange phenomena lurking just beneath the surface of our ordinary lives by digging into the surprisingly complicated physics involved in his (and anyone's) morning routine. Orzel, author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, explores how quantum connects with everyday reality, and offers engaging, layperson-level explanations of the mind-bending ideas central to modern physics. From the sun, alarm clocks, and the red glow of a toaster's hot filaments (the glow that launched quantum mechanics) to the chemistry of food aroma, a typical day is rich with examples of quantum weirdness. Breakfast with Einstein reveals the hidden physics all around us, and after reading this book, your ordinary mornings will never seem quite as ordinary again.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. At a critical point in the development of modern physical theory, two brilliant and dedicated scientists, Albert Michelson and Edward Morley, conducted experiments to measure the velocity of the ether, which was presumed to fill all of space and serve as the medium for the conduction of light. Their measurements suggested that the velocity was zero, relative to the earth. Either the earth was the center of the universe (as Ptolemy believed) or light was not conducted through such a medium. The velocity of light was clearly demonstrated to be independent of the observer's velocity, but how could this possibly be true? They left it to Albert Einstein to interpret their results. He proposed a third alternative, special relativity, which is still regarded as gospel by physicists today. But surely Einstein's alternative was not the only one. Was Edward Morley robbed of his place in scientific history.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Featured in Children's Book Council HerBook List for Women's History Month Featured in Children's Book Council Fall Showcase: The Wisdom of Elders List Can one girl's questions change the world? Women in Physics follows a conversation between an inquisitive young girl, who wonders why things move the way they do, and a scientifically astute narrator, whose answers are both accurate and approachable to a young mind. In this way, learning the basics of physics becomes a natural outcome of enjoying the story. Designed to motivate girls to learn more about the natural world and see how one person can change the world, this book has been peer reviewed by an extensive team of scientists, science educators, and parents. One reviewer calls the book, "digestible and fun for someone young to read," continuing, "and yet it doesn't hold back any of the history and science it aims to teach. If you want to instill in your daughter a lifelong passion for science, this is a great way to start!" Delve into the minds of inspirational women who've changed the world with their scientific discoveries. Scientists profiled include Emilie du Chatelet, Laura Bassi, Marie Curie, Irene Joliot-Curie, and Chien-Shiung Wu. Concepts covered in this book include: matter, mass, force, gravity, atoms, elements, x-rays, radioactivity, observation, research, hypotheses, experiments, and more. This engaging story of women who have done pioneering work in physics sold more than 3,000 copies in its original Kickstarter run. The third book in the "Science Wide Open" series, Women in Physics is an ideal place for children to start their own journeys of discovery and wonder. Pioli, Danielle (illustrator). …

Paperback. Condition: Fair. This exciting series is built around three components: good science, creation apologetics, and Bible references. Science is a great area to teach, because children have a natural curiosity about the world. They want to know why and how things work, what things are made of, and where they came from. The trick is to tap into their curiosity so they want to find answers. Many elementary level science lessons begin with definitions and scientific explanations, followed by an activity. A more effective method is to reverse this order and begin with an activity whenever possible, and the lessons found in these books begin with an investigations, followed by scientific explanations and opportunities to apply the knowledge to other situations. In addition to the investigations, there are sections on creation apologetics, written mostly in narrative forms, connections to Bible references, on-your-own challenges; pause and think questions; projects and contests; and historical stories about scientists and engineers. These sections encourage students to think more critically, to put scientific ideas into perspective, to learn more about how science works, to gain some expertise in a few areas, and to become more grounded in their faith in the Bible.…
