19,804 | 19 | Grade 4-7Eighteen countries, including Brazil, Ethiopia, Norway, and South Korea, are represented in this book that offers recipes as well as some background on how cooking and dining are affected by a nation's climate, geography, culture, and history. Also provided are a few details about the country's typical immigration patterns to the U.S. and how some dishes have been Americanized over time. While the simple black-and-white illustrations depict young people, the recipes are not necessarily for beginners: many require fairly specialized ingredients and/or complicated techniques. There is a good balance of main dishes, side dishes, vegetarian meals, and sweets. Safety rules, step-by-step instructions, preparation times, and lists of utensils needed are given, but nutritional information is not. Diane Simone Vezza's Passport on a Plate (S & S, 1997) is a more attractive book for those who are interested only in recipes from other countries. Mark H. Zanger's The American Ethnic Cookbook for Students (Oryx, 2001) focuses on immigration but is for older readers. Overall, D'Amico's title might be useful for larger collections, especially where the topic is frequently assigned.Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Gr. 5-8. The authors of The United States History Cookbook (2000) provide information about American immigrants from 18 nations as well as recipes representing each group. After defining and illustrating utensils and cooking techniques, the introductory section offers safety tips for using appliances and knives. Accompanied by line drawings of ethnic families choosing, preparing, and eating food, subsequent chapters discuss each country's climate, history, major waves of emigration, and traditional foods. Typically, three recipes follow, such as Korean short ribs, sweet rice cakes, and dumpling soup. The choices sometimes seem ambitious, given the target audience. Still, teachers and students looking for recipes from American immigrant cultures will make good use of this handy resource, and home-schooling parents may appreciate its creative combination of social studies and culinary arts.

19,806 | 15 | Grade 3-6-- An entertaining, educational, and nonthreatening aid to understanding earth science. The easy experiments are carefully organized in sections dealing with the Earth in space, rocks and minerals, crustal movement, erosion, atmosphere, weather, and the oceans. Each experiment includes a purpose, a list of needed materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and a scientific explanation of the results. Each double-page spread features a helpful black-line drawing of the procedure; cautions are given where any danger is possible and notes comment on desirable weather or other necessary conditions. Activities range from making a peanut butter sandwich to demonstrating a sedimentary rock formation, or erasing pencil marks on paper to showing how rocks change into sand and thin soil. The concepts are so elementary and the directions so clear that students can learn just by reading and visualizing them, although it will be much more fun to actually perform the experiments. --Rosie Peasley, Somerset School, Modesto, CACopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.An elementary science experiment book that is both educational and fun. Intended for children in grades K to 6, it contains 101 thoroughly tested and safe experiments relating to earth science. Each experiment has a clear purpose, list of materials and step-by-step illustrated instructions. In addition, without giving too much away, it provides hints as to what may be expected from a given experiment and offers a full explanation of the outcome in understandable terms. Most materials necessary for the experiments are readily available around the house. The aim is to make learning about the earth a rewarding experience and encourage a student's desire to seek more knowledge about science.; Title: Janice VanCleave's Earth Science for Every Kid: 101 Easy Experiments that Really Work | [

19,807 | 12 | Grade 3-8-- A basic introduction to math concepts. VanCleave's approach may seem a bit formal and textbook-like, but the actual content is fun and inviting. She divides the text into four broad categories: basics, which includes discussion of fractions, averages, equivalants and multiples; measurements; graphing; and geometry. Each section is systematically set up to state the objective or purpose; define facts or explain terms; present problems to solve; provide step-by-step solutions; give exercises to practice the concept; suggest an activity to apply the new skill; and supply answers to the exercises. All of the terms in the glossary are printed in boldface in the text. Activities show readers how to make $5 billion in 30 days, to create a glob solution like silly putty, to assemble and use a trundle wheel, or to graph Girl Scout cookie sales. Most sections include a "Did you know?" with amazing facts based on the principle explained. The format lends itself to individualized work from start to finish. A good selection for libraries looking for material on supplemental or remedial mathematics and a real boost to a weak section in most collections. --Nancy A. Gifford, Schenectady County Public Library, NYCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.How long is the worlds longest earthworm? How tall was a brachiosaurus? Whats the average diameter of human hair? Whats the circumference of the earth at the equator? Now you can discover the answers to these and other fascinating questions about math.

19,820 | 21 | -The Trespasser's Unexpected Adventure by Karen Cossey is a well-written modern day mystery adventure story. Logan is the thirteen-year-old foster child of Steve and Abby. He meets Meeka and her rich and famous parents when they stay at a nearby clifftop lodge. When the two families get to know each other, Meeka enjoys sampling -normal- life for a few days. But then Logan, his older foster brothers and sister, and Meeka stumble on a smuggling operation and get caught up in a dramatic and dangerous adventure that includes secret tunnels, rock falls, being abducted and threatened, escape, bike racing, and finding their way out of a fire. I particularly like children's books that do more than just tell a good, exciting story. The main characters in The Trespasser have all experienced some kind of trauma or difficulty in their young lives and I like the way they are drawn together in friendship and the way these friendships help them move forward in their lives. The past experiences of Cossey's characters reflect reality for many children then, and this does give the book an added element that is special and important and I really liked this. I loved Meeka's desire to be an ordinary child, away from the fame and riches, and her family's sense of fun and love for each other. Her life contrasts with the pasts of Logan and the other foster children, but there is a similarity in that they all need the security that comes with normality and family love. There is plenty of exciting mystery, adventure and escape from danger as well as the fun of rock climbing, bike racing and family camps on the beach. An enjoyable action and crime story that older children or younger teens are sure to enjoy.- --Hilary Hawkes, Reader's Favorite.Karen grew up in New Zealand on a farmthere was plenty of time for roaming and room for imagination. Later she worked with exporting businesses where she met a lot of really interesting people (from someone who kept tanks full of eels, to another whose business made huge machines for chopping down trees). She learned that everyone has a story to tell. When her two children were young she home-schooled them for five yearsthere was lots of reading books on couches and figuring maths out in the sunshine! Her homeschooling highlight was spending almost a year travelling around Europe with her family. They loved seeing so many places and meeting so many different people (and eating so many different foods!). Karen has always written stories, mostly for her writers group. She loves to put something of her joy of living and love of family into her writing. She still lives in beautiful New Zealand, near to the beach, along with her two teenage kids, two cats and a goat called Milly.

19,821 | 5 | The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian is a children's fantasy by Karen Cossey. While taking a walk in Pixie Forest, Kinsey sees a cloak on the ground and tries it on, only to see a unicorn appear. She is astonished when the unicorn introduces herself as Crimson and encourages Kinsey to help fight a river monster terrorizing a castle. Kinsey, who lacks defensive skills, manages to defeat the monster as she discovers how magical the cloak is. Crimson takes her on a series of adventures, battling Mungas, dragons, and ravenous jagotchies. They learn that the tyrannical ruler, Snake, has been carrying out his plan to dominate the kingdom. Kinsey isn't trained as others to fight, but is determined to help bring peace to the kingdom. The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian is a lovely novella for children who like reading fantasy tales about elves, dwarfs and other mythical creatures. One of its main characters, Kinsey, is a smart and courageous young girl who will come to one's rescue, even if she is afraid herself. Crimson is a caring unicorn, but is easily offended when teased. Although it's a short read, Karen Cossey tells her adventurous tale very well. The dialogue is witty, as well as some of the deeds Kinsey and Crimson completed. Her descriptions of the monsters are great and one can visualize how repulsive they really are. The cover illustration of Crimson is nicely done to complement the entertaining story. I recommend The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian.Michelle Stanley for Readers' Favorite; Title: The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian | [

19,826 | 2 | A personal childhood favorite, this old-fashioned combination of poems and line drawings is funny, timeless, and wise. A sample: "The Goops they talk while eating, and loud and fast they chew, and that is why I'm glad that I am not a Goop. Are you?"Other verses include "Borrowing" ("Didn't you say they were borrowed? You'd better take back just a few. If you lent your playthings, I think you would say things' If no one returned them to you"), "Patience," and "Honesty."Though nowadays these basic virtues are seldom spoken of by name outside of Sunday school, the Goops's humor and alien-like illustrations kill any inclination toward the saccharine. Instead, we find a cheerful, reasonable description of how to remain Goop-free, at least until adulthood.; Title: Goops and How to Be Them (Timeless Classics) | [

19,827 | 1 | This collection of more than 200 drawings by Anthony D'Attilio is an exciting introduction to the complex and fascinating field of plant and animal marine life. No matter which seashore you live near or visit on vacation, you will probably find some of its inhabitants represented in these pages.Mr. D'Attilio prepared these drawings carefully and accurately, but in the interest of making the plates as decorative as possible he did allow himself some artistic license. Thus the specimens on any one plate are not necessarily to be found in the same body of water, and occasionally their relative sizes are not strictly correct.You may be surprised, when you look at the covers of this book, by the wide range of colors and tones nature has subtly intermingled in her marine creatures. You can imitate this natural coloration, or you can use your imagination in selecting colors. The contour lines provided in the drawings can be used as guidelines for the subtle blending of colors, as in nature, or as sharp demarcation lines between areas of flat color, if your aim is more decorative. Whichever method you choose, enjoy coloring and creating for yourself either true-to-life depictions of marine plants and animals, or more fanciful creatures for framing and collages.The varied specimens in this collection represent some of the most common and some of the most exotic forms of sea life in the oceans of the world. We hope these drawings and the identifications of the creatures will lead you to a deeper interest in this fascinating area. You may then want to consult the more detailed field guides to marine life in your own area.; Title: Seashore Life Coloring Book (Dover Nature Coloring Book) | [

The pictures have been faithfully redrawn by Paul E. Kennedy from originals by John James Aububon (1785–1851), the most famous American painter-naturalist.For each species, the caption supplies the modern common and scientific names and the current range (by general region). No distinction is made between breeding range and winter range. Only the area of the United States, exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii, is considered. The birds shown are usually adult males when the caption does not give the information on age and sex.Audubon's original plates, numbered to correspond to the pages of the book, have been reproduced in color on the covers. If you follow them, you will not only have a great deal of coloring pleasure, but you will also learn how to identify many important birds.; Title: Audubon's Birds of America Coloring Book | [

19,836 | 15 | Martin Gardner: A RemembranceThe worldwide mathematical community was saddened by the death of Martin Gardner on May 22, 2010. Martin was 95 years old when he died, and had written 70 or 80 books during his long lifetime as an author. Martin's first Dover books were published in 1956 and 1957: Mathematics, Magic and Mystery, one of the first popular books on the intellectual excitement of mathematics to reach a wide audience, and Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science, certainly one of the first popular books to cast a devastatingly skeptical eye on the claims of pseudoscience and the many guises in which the modern world has given rise to it. Both of these pioneering books are still in print with Dover today along with more than a dozen other titles of Martin's books. They run the gamut from his elementary Codes, Ciphers and Secret Writing, which has been enjoyed by generations of younger readers since the 1980s, to the more demanding The New Ambidextrous Universe: Symmetry and Asymmetry from Mirror Reflections to Superstrings, which Dover published in its final revised form in 2005.To those of us who have been associated with Dover for a long time, however, Martin was more than an author, albeit a remarkably popular and successful one. As a member of the small group of long-time advisors and consultants, which included NYU's Morris Kline in mathematics, Harvard's I. Bernard Cohen in the history of science, and MIT's J. P. Den Hartog in engineering, Martin's advice and editorial suggestions in the formative 1950s helped to define the Dover publishing program and give it the point of view which despite many changes, new directions, and the consequences of evolution continues to be operative today.In the Author's Own Words:"Politicians, real-estate agents, used-car salesmen, and advertising copy-writers are expected to stretch facts in self-serving directions, but scientists who falsify their results are regarded by their peers as committing an inexcusable crime. Yet the sad fact is that the history of science swarms with cases of outright fakery and instances of scientists who unconsciously distorted their work by seeing it through lenses of passionately held beliefs.""A surprising proportion of mathematicians are accomplished musicians. Is it because music and mathematics share patterns that are beautiful?" Martin Gardner; Title: Entertaining Science Experiments with Everyday Objects | [

19,847 | 6 | "A fascinating, challenging book."―A.L.A. BooklistLearn to use the most important codes and methods of secret communication in use since ancient times. Cipher and decipher codes used by spies. Explore the famous codes that changed the fate of nations and political leaders. And enjoy hours of fun experimenting with cryptography―the science of secret writing.Beginning with simple letter substitutions and transposition ciphers, world-famous science writer Martin Gardner explains how to break complicated polyalphabetical ciphers and codes worked with grids, squares, triangles, and charts. You'll learn codes that are keyed to typewriters and telephone dials . . . even codes that use playing cards, knots, and swizzle sticks. Experiment with invisible writing―inks that glow in black light and turn red under heat―and explore the possibilities of sending messages through outer space to unknown worlds.Using this book, you can solve the historically famous Playfair Cipher used by Australia in World War II, the Pigpen Cipher used by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War, Thomas Jefferson's Wheel Cipher, the Beaufort system used by the British Royal Navy, codes devised by authors for heroes in literature―Sherlock Holmes, Captain Kidd, and the Shadow. And you will enjoy experimenting with bizarre methods of message sending―the Dot Code, Knot Code, Swizzle Code, and more.Young cryptanalysts, cipher fans, and puzzlists of all ages will find hours of intrigue and challenge in Codes, Ciphers and Secret Writing. "A stimulating must for the intermediate cryptographer."―The Kirkus ReviewsUnabridged Dover (1984) republication of the work originally published by Simon & Schuster, 1972. Martin Gardner was a renowned author who published over 70 books on subjects from science and math to poetry and religion. He also had a lifelong passion for magic tricks and puzzles. Well known for his mathematical games column in Scientific American and his "Trick of the Month" in Physics Teacher magazine, Gardner attracted a loyal following with his intelligence, wit, and imagination.Martin Gardner: A RemembranceThe worldwide mathematical community was saddened by the death of Martin Gardner on May 22, 2010. Martin was 95 years old when he died, and had written 70 or 80 books during his long lifetime as an author. Martin's first Dover books were published in 1956 and 1957: Mathematics, Magic and Mystery, one of the first popular books on the intellectual excitement of mathematics to reach a wide audience, and Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science, certainly one of the first popular books to cast a devastatingly skeptical eye on the claims of pseudoscience and the many guises in which the modern world has given rise to it. Both of these pioneering books are still in print with Dover today along with more than a dozen other titles of Martin's books. They run the gamut from his elementary Codes, Ciphers and Secret Writing, which has been enjoyed by generations of younger readers since the 1980s, to the more demanding The New Ambidextrous Universe: Symmetry and Asymmetry from Mirror Reflections to Superstrings, which Dover published in its final revised form in 2005.To those of us who have been associated with Dover for a long time, however, Martin was more than an author, albeit a remarkably popular and successful one. As a member of the small group of long-time advisors and consultants, which included NYU's Morris Kline in mathematics, Harvard's I. Bernard Cohen in the history of science, and MIT's J. P. Den Hartog in engineering, Martin's advice and editorial suggestions in the formative 1950s helped to define the Dover publishing program and give it the point of view which — despite many changes, new directions, and the consequences of evolution — continues to be operative today.In the Author's Own Words:"Politicians, real-estate agents, used-car salesmen, and advertising copy-writers are expected to stretch facts in self-serving directions, but scientists who falsify their results are regarded by their peers as committing an inexcusable crime. Yet the sad fact is that the history of science swarms with cases of outright fakery and instances of scientists who unconsciously distorted their work by seeing it through lenses of passionately held beliefs.""A surprising proportion of mathematicians are accomplished musicians. Is it because music and mathematics share patterns that are beautiful?" — Martin Gardner; Title: Codes, Ciphers and Secret Writing (Dover Children's Activity Books) | [

In this full-color cut-and-assemble collection, architectural historian and papercrafter Edmund V. Gillon, Jr., has recreated five extant historic houses of the Colonial period. They include the Waite-Potter house, a typical one-room yeoman's cottage with sleeping loft and massive stone chimney, built in 1677 in South Westport, Massachusetts; the Eleazer Arnold house, with gabled roof, tall chimneys and lean-to built in 1687 in Lincoln, Rhode Island; the Ogden house, a typical 'saltbox' - easily identified by the long sweeping pitch of its back roof - built around 1700 in Fairfield, Connecticut; the Tate house, an elegant merchant's mansion built in 1755 in Portland, Maine; and the Wentworth-Gardner house, a splendidly ornamented structure with pedimented lintels and a Georgian-style doorway, built in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1760. Complete instructions and clearly outlined diagrams show model builders of all ages how to cut, fold and score authentically rendered, carefully researched H-O scale models that will make excellent projects for home or classroom use."; Title: Cut and Assemble Colonial Houses in Full Color: Five Historic Buildings in H-O Scale | [

19,895 | 1 | Author and editor of numerous children's books, Thornton W. Burgess was also a noted conservationist. In writing for youngsters he combined a gift for storytelling with his love of the outdoors, creating an entertaining menagerie of animals whose adventures he skillfully recounted in a series of charming fables. In them, he taught young readers about nature and encouraged them to love the "lesser folk in fur and feathers."In this delightfully told tale, Burgess chronicles the escapades of Chatterer the Red Squirrel, who's known throughout the Green Forest as a mischief maker. Narrowly escaping the clutches of Shadow the Weasel and Redtail the Hawk, the bushy-tailed little fellow decides to leave the forest for a new home, only to learn that curiosity, carelessness, and mistrust can lead to a heap of troubles.First published in 1915, this engaging story will charm readers of all ages as well as young listeners.Unabridged (1992) Dover republication, in association with the Thornton W. Burgess Museum and the Green Briar Nature Center, Sandwich, Massachusetts, of the edition published by Little, Brown, and Company, Boston, 1915.; Title: The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) | [
