The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind - Young Reader's Edition
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind - Young Reader's Edition

Review:I read the adult version of this story when it was published and found the story so inspiring, that I kept talking to my children about it as I read. They were intrigued and wanted to read the story for themselves, but it was a bit daunting for children so young. What a treat to now have a children's book to share with them! They are very familiar with William, as we have followed his story through the Moving Windmills project, and were incredibly excited to finally read his story on their own... Read more

Getting Started with Sketches - Second Edition (Tab)
Getting Started with Sketches - Second Edition (Tab)

Review:An excellent start for a beginning Arduino code user. This book is about software and understanding the code for the various Arduino boards. It is NOT a "How to make a project" book. Look for other book titles by Simon Monk for hands on, DIY projects.

The Physics of Star Trek
The Physics of Star Trek

Review:...for anyone who likes both "Trek" and science. Laurence Krauss shows that it is possible to enjoy "Trek" while using it as a tool to teach some physics fundamentals (usually to the effect that "Trek" physics/technology is impossible or wildly improbable). The foreword is by Stephen Hawking, also a fan, who endorses the imagination-expanding possibilities of science fiction. Remember how many engineers were inspired by the example of the late "Scotty" (he was even given an honorary engineering ... Read more

Project-Based Introduction to Programming - A Hands-On
Project-Based Introduction to Programming - A Hands-On

Review:As someone who has dabbled in many programming languages, I was looking more for a guided tour of the Python language than an intro to programming that happened to use Python, and Python Crash Course was just what I was looking for. I especially appreciated the section on code testing, which is almost never covered in beginner books and should be. The author has also taken the time to cover the two versions of Python you might find in the wild, and also provide instructions for Windows, Linux an... Read more
