Tales of the Universe introduces five physics principles commonly used in engineering. It's a story of a boy that befriends a retired physics professor who regales the boy with fantastic stories of alien life in different galaxies; with each story serving as an allegory for a different physics principle. Imagine a collection of parables where the lessons are about physics, rather than religion, and you'll begin to understand the book's concept.

but we may not. What is Earths history, including the history of life? Where is Earth headed, and what can we do? A middle school science teacher addresses these questions with a friendly narrative voice and a focus both on how science is done and the diverse people who do it. Women like Mary Anning and Rachel Carson get equal attention to men like James Hutton and Georges Cuvier. Present problems of the Earth discussed include not only climate change but human-caused extinctions, plastic pollution, and invasive species. A final section suggests things kids can do to make a difference, from changing their behavior as consumers to

AI is all around us today, in more places than you think! This book covers the basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning for children, with concepts that range from the very first ideas about A.I. through the latest algorithms that today's leading computer scientists are working on. For illustration, the book uses real-world examples of today's A.I., including cool applications in the fields of music, art, poetry, language, robotics, cars, rockets, video games, and more. Designed for readers who may not have a background in computers or programming, the book touches on math, computer architecture, logic, and simple programming ideas, along with activities that students can try themselves. We discuss some of the social and ethical implications of artificial intelligence from various angles, including public safety, bias, and more. With inset historical facts, illustrations, and bits of trivia about AI and computing in each chapter, the book contains the essential knowledge that a young person needs to understand how and why the world of A.I. has come to be, and quite possibly, where it's headed in the very near future.

This follow-up to "I Always Wondered About That" contains answers to questions kids didn't even know they had: What color is my brain? Which is the deadliest snake? How high do birds fly? The wide-ranging questions and answers are sure to make readers eager to learn more. Full color.

An engaging introduction to stem cells for young scientists How do you heal when you cut your skin or break a bone? How does your body keep making new blood or brain cells, or even second teeth? How does a plant keep growing larger? The answers lie in stem cells, which are found in every growing plant and animal. Keeping the subject simple enough for young readers, a pioneer of stem cell research explains cells, tissues, normal growth, what can go wrong, and how to fix it.
