you lived in a floating green house in the Netherlands, you could
rotate your house to watch both the sunrise and sunset. With
intricate bas-relief collages, Giles Laroche uncovers the reason
why each home was constructed the way in which it was, then lets us
imagine what it would be like to live in homes so different from
our own. Showing the tremendous variety of dwellings worldwide--log
cabins, houses on stilts, cave dwellings, boathouses, and
yurts--this book addresses why each house is build the way that it
is. Reasons--such as blending into the landscape, confusing
invaders, being able to travel with one's home, using whatever
materials are at hand--are as varied as the homes themselves. List

Written by two teens who know what teens do and don't know about
cooking, TEENS COOK is an instructional cookbook that teaches young
adults how to make great meals--and be confident and independent in
the kitchen. Authors Megan and Jill Carle are teenage sisters with
nothing much in common when it comes to food--except that they both
know how to cook really well. One buys ingredients she likes and
figures out what to make when she gets home; the other follows
every recipe to the letter. One is a vegetarian who's drawn to
ethnic food; the other prefers all-American comfort food. Together,
they're a dynamic duo who have created and mastered more than 75
recipes for breakfasts, snacks, sides, family meals, dinners for
one, and desserts. In TEENS COOK, the Carle sisters also share
their kitchen know-how on averting and fixing disasters, dealing
with cookbook math (fractions and metrics--ugh ), deciphering
culinary vocabulary (all those terms we kind of know, but not
really), explaining chemistry (why and how stuff goes right and
wrong in the kitchen), and avoiding accidents (can you say "grease
fire"? oops ). For teens (and tweens) who are tired of eating what
their parents decide to fix, TEENS COOK offers foolproof advice for
whipping up some tasty home-cooked meals of their own.
Written by popular food blogger Erin Gleeson, Forest Feast for Kids

them, complemented by Erin's own fanciful watercolour illustrations
