A journey guided by science that explores the universe, the earth, and the story of life For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages readers to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence. With his knowledgeable yet conversational approach, Shapiro offers an enjoyable way for the curious to learn about the foundations of a range of scientific topics: the motions of bodies in the cosmos, the history and structure of the earth, the evolution of organisms, and the search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence.
You don't have to be an eccentric obsessive to be a scientist, but it helps... In The Mad Science Book, Reto Schneider tells the extraordinary tales of 100 of the more unusual experiments conducted across seven centuries of science. From the attempts of the 14th-century Dominican monk Theodoric von Freiberg to discover the cause of the rainbow, to the efforts of the 20th-century psychologist Harry Harlow to be the perfect mother to a family of reluctant rhesus monkeys, these are stories that are often bizarre, sometimes mind-boggling - occasionally stomach-churning - but always diverting, informative and enlightening.Among the myriad delights on display in this cabinet of scientific curiosities are the renowned doctor from Padua who sat in a pair of scales for 30 years, recording the minutest changes in his weight; the sheep, the duck and the rooster who became the world's first air passengers; the disgusting Dr Stubbins Ffirth, who swallowed other people's vomit in an attempt to prove that yellow fever cannot be transmitted from one person to another; the hapless soldier Alexis St Martin, left with a hole in his stomach after an accident with a musket; and the ever-optimistic Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard, who injected himself with essence of guinea pigs' testicles as an anti-ageing remedy. There is trivia here in abundance, but also quirky, but genuinely influential, science, notably Merrill Flood's and Melvin Dresher's experiments with choices of outcomes, which have been widely influential as game theory.A fizzing cocktail of fascinating science and rich entertainment, The Mad Science Book tells the extraordinary stories of some truly, madly, geeky people. It should be top of every self-respecting science buff's Christmas 2008 wishlist.

The Amazing Scientific Adventures of Harvy, a Brilliant Cane by Sheldon Weinbaum Pdf
PG is getting on in years, and he bought a brilliant, cherrywood cane to help him walk. PG named the cane Harvy, and the two became great companions. The special thing about Harvy is that he can talk. He has the inquisitive mind and vivid imagination of a child and a special curiosity about science. The story begins at JFK airport where Harvy is entranced by escalators, and he wonders where the moving stairs go once the basement fills up. Harvy also wonders about the origins of this mystical force called gravity. He's fascinated by the laws of buoyancy, flotation, and the wonders of flight. Why don't airplanes have to flap their wings like birds to fly? Why can humming birds hover without having rotating blades like a helicopter? A fiction book for children, The Amazing Scientific Adventures of Harvy, a Brilliant Cane offers a fun look at science and space through the eyes of a talking cane. "Blending together the perfect mix of scientific facts and fantasy, this thought provoking book will spark curiosity and wonder in all the budding middle—grade scientists who venture into the fascinating world of Harvy, the Brilliant Cane. Harvy's engrossing and inspiring story teaches and entertains on every page.
