Amazon Publishing Piece by Piece: How I Built My Life (No
Book SynopsisThe heartfelt and funny memoir of a boy who built himself a prosthetic arm out of the world-famous toy bricks. David Aguilar was born missing part of one arm, a small detail that seemed to define his life and limit people’s ideas of who he was and who he could be. But in this funny and heartfelt memoir, David proves that he can throw out the rulebook and people’s expectations and maybe even make a difference in the world—and all with a sense of humor. At only nine years old, David built his first prosthesis from LEGO bricks, and since then he hasn’t stopped creating and thinking about how his inventions, born from a passion for building things, could fuel change and help others. With a voice full of humor and heart, David tells his powerful story, of family and friendship, of heartbreak and loss, and ultimately of triumph and success, as he continues to dream big and build a life and a better world—piece by piece.Trade Review“Humorous and uplifting…While readers needn’t be LEGO fans to admire David’s ingenuity, fellow builders may be inspired to dream up their own inventions.” —Kirkus Reviews “Readers will cheer for Aguilar and relate to him as he shares conversational stories about growing up, playing sports, and struggling with school. Family is at the heart of his story, and the endless support and advocacy of his parents, in particular, make this a sweet and uplifting story. Young readers will identify with this creative young person and will question society’s definition of “normal.” —School Library Journal

Book Synopsis“Kids and adult alike will love poring over the different sections of this book and will delight in informing their friends and family members of the facts they've learned.”—School Library Journal ★ A perfect book for engaging kids in STEM: This illustrated tour of our “leftover” body parts (like the appendix, or even goosebumps) introduces readers age 7-11 to the bizarre and fascinating science of evolution. Welcome to the weirdest museum you’ll ever explore—the one inside your body. Did you know your amazing, incredible body is a walking, talking museum of evolution? In The Museum of Odd Body Leftovers, tour guides Wisdom Tooth and Disappearing Kidney lead readers through a wacky museum dedicated to vestigial structures: body parts that were essential to our ancestors but are no longer useful to us—even though they’re still hanging around. From goosebumps and hiccups to exploding organs and monkey muscles, each room in the museum shows us that these parts have stories to tell us about our past. By the time we make it to the gift shop, we’ll understand that evolution is not only messy and imperfect, but also ongoing. Our bodies are constantly changing along with the environment we live in—and there’s so much that is still unknown, just waiting to be discovered.

Annick Press Ltd CRISPR: A Powerful Way to Change DNA
Book SynopsisWe can change the world with genetic modification—but should we? CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. If it sounds complicated, it is—but it’s also one of the most powerful ways we can shape the future. And it’s poised to completely upend the way we think about science. Author Yolanda Ridge tackles this topic in a friendly and accessible tone, with two introductory chapters covering the basics of DNA and genetic modification before taking readers through the ways that this ground-breaking science could affect them by potentially: - eliminating diseases like malaria and cancer, - improving the stability of our food supply, and - helping to manage conservation efforts for threatened animals and environments. But all of these possible advancements come with risks, the biggest being that the consequences are unknown. Chapters end with “Stop, Go, Yield” sections encouraging readers to consider the pros and cons of using CRISPR. “Cutting Questions” give readers the opportunity to further reflect on the ethics of the science. CRISPR is a game changer. This important book, with detailed scientific illustrations, brings much needed clarity to a topic that will affect readers for generations to come.Trade Review“A relevant, evidence-based resource for high school students and academic library collections. Ridge successfully demonstrates the necessity of an educated debate about the nuanced pros and cons of gene modification.” “A thought-provoking, insightful look at a complex and controversial topic that’s sure to pique student interest.” “Science literally on the cutting edge, offering prospects of wonder and terror in equal measure.”

Don't let that stop your kids from being amazed at how the world around them works. The stunning graphics in this science book will help them understand basic quantum physics (yep, really) while figuring out sonar sounds, electromagnetic rays and discovering the speed of light. Seriously impressive. * Smallish *If you thought physics was boring, you certainly won't after a lightning (and enlightening!) tour through the universe with exciting science writer Colin Stuart. Designed to present physics in a totally new 'light,' The Speed of Starlight contains nearly 80 pages of scintillating science as we explore the topics of physics, light and sound alongside incredible artwork from Spanish surrealist artist Ximo Abadía. Presenting the information under four groupings - physics, sound, light and colour, and space - Stuart and Abadía combine impressive design with exhilaratingly presented content in a giant-sized book that will captivate and inspire youngsters. Learn the basics of Newton's Laws of Motion, the facts about seismic shakes, discover how the sound barrier is broken, how we are able to see the world around us because of light reflection, and cringe at the scary, stretchy condition called 'spaghettification' which could happen to you if you stepped into a black hole.

Divided into the four sections named in the subtitle, the book explains, using simple graphics, Newton's Laws of Motion, the insides of an atom, soundwaves, photosynthesis, the colour spectrum and then goes into space.Any author who's had an asteroid named after him in recognition of his work to popularise astronomy must know a bit about what he's writing. Not only does Colin Stuart have the expertise and enthusiasm, but he can explain it in the simplest terms without resorting to cliché. * Minerva Reads *This impressive new title explores the physics of light and sound and helps its readers understand basic quantum physics.Divided into four sections: Physics, Sound, Light and Colour and Space, major theories and scientists are introduced in a clear, easily understood manner alongside bold illustrations. Absolutely loads of facts to absorb.

In the 18th century edward Jenner developed the first vaccine, and since the 1930s penicillin has saved millions of lives. And many microbes are helpful. They help our digestion, give us powerful medicines and even food. This is the Microbe Wars.
