DESCRIPTION: These word scramble puzzles consist of pairs of
English and French words where the letters have been scrambled. In
each pair, the first word is a common English word and the second
word is its French equivalent. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the
letters to form the matching English and French words. For example,
consider the following pair of English-French word scrambles: L O H
E L / J U N O B O R. Rearranging the letters LOHEL, we can form the
word HELLO; and unscrambling the letters JUNOBOR, we can form
BONJOUR. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: You need to have familiarity with
vocabulary words from French 1 in order to be able to unscramble
the French words. Once you have unscrambled both words in a puzzle,
seeing the words that go together - one English, one French - will
help to reinforce your French-English vocabulary. ORGANIZATION: All
of the answers in each puzzle are related in some way. For example,
they might all be days of the week, or they might be feelings.
Knowing that the words are related may help you unscramble any
words that you don't see right away. HINTS/ANSWERS: There are
separate sections of hints and answers at the back of the book. The
hints section provides just the first letter of each word. This can
be useful if you just need a little help. Complete answers are
provided in the answers section. You might want to place a folded
sheet of paper here so that you can check the current puzzle's
answers without spoiling other puzzles.
These full-color illustrations on 8"x10" pages are at once
aesthetically captivating and instructive. Each page consists of
colorful images of tesseracts (4D hypercubes) or glomes (4D
hyperspheres) with a paragraph caption describing the figures at
the bottom. Color is used effectively to show how to visualize the
features of tesseracts and glomes, how to draw tesseracts in
perspective, how a tesseract unfolds, how the features of
tesseracts and glomes change as they rotate, how to find the
intersection of a tesseract or glome with a hyperplane, how
hyperspherical coordinates are defined, how to understand
hypercompass directions, and how to draw longitudes,
hyperlatitudes, and latitudes. Rectangular hyperboxes and a
hyperellipsoid are also shown. Subsequent volumes of this series
will build upon these fundamental 4D objects to help you imagine
features of a 4D world such as a hyperchair, a hypercross, a
hyperpyramid, a hyperhouse, crystal structures, and simple
hypermachines.
AUTHOR: Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in particle physics from
Oklahoma State University. Dr. McMullen currently teaches physics
at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. His background on
the geometry and physics of a possible fourth dimension of space
includes a half-dozen research papers on the prospects of
discovering large extra dimensions at the Large Hadron
Collider.DESCRIPTION: While Volume 1 covered the geometry of extra
dimensions in detail, Volume 2 focuses on the physics of extra
string-inspired dimensions. Consider the problem and solution of
expressing the cross product in higher dimensions. See the effect
that the extra flux of field lines has on Gauss's law in higher
dimensions. Explore how extra dimensions may be hidden via
compactification. Discover the recent motivation for the case of
extra dimensions that are much larger than originally predicted by
string theory. Read about current and upcoming experiments with the
potential to detect the presence of large extra dimensions in our
universe. Learn the fundamentals of special and general relativity,
quantum mechanics, and string theory, and how these relate to extra
dimensions... All on this visual introduction to the fourth and
higher dimensions. This guide is conceptually and visually
detailed, intended for mathematically-minded readers who may have
not yet been exposed to calculus.PUZZLES: Several puzzles are
included to challenge the reader to contemplate the fourth
dimension. Answers are included at the back of the book.
These word scramble puzzles consist of spooky words or phrases
where the letters have been scrambled. Many of the puzzles relate
to Halloween in some way. Solve each puzzle by rearranging the
letters to form the word or phrase. For example, rearranging the
letters M O B I Z E, we can form the word Z O M B I E. Each puzzle
consists of a group of related words or phrases, such as words that
relate to ghosts or different kinds of Halloween costumes. Knowing
that the words in each puzzle are related may help you unscramble
any words or phrases that you don't see right away. A hints section
at the back of the book provides the first letter of each answer,
which is handy if you just need a little help; a separate section
provides the answers so that you can check your solutions.EXAMPLES:

VErBAl ReAcTiONS are a new form of word scrambles with a chemical
flavor. You don't need to know any science to be able to solve
VErBAl ReAcTiONS puzzles, but the puzzles bear a resemblance to
chemical reactions.EXAMPLE: Es + 2 S + P + Si + 2 O + N __ __ __ __
__ __ __ __ .This VErBAl ReAcTiON is a word scramble consisting of
one Es, two S's, one P, one Si, two O's, and one N. That is, the
word scramble contains the elements Es, S, S, P, Si, O, O, and N.
Unscramble these elements to form an 8-symbol word (that's why
there are 8 blanks in the puzzle).ANSWER: For this puzzle, the
answer is P O S S Es Si O N (possession).These VErBAl ReAcTiONS
resemble chemical reactions in two ways. First, the scrambled
elements appear added together on the left of the reaction with
coefficients (like the number 2 in the puzzle above) telling you
how many of each element the solution contains, and you fill in the
result of the VErBAl ReAcTiON by rearranging the elements and
writing them on the blanks on the right side of the reaction.
Secondly, all of the solutions are chemical words. A chemical word
is a word that can be made using symbols from the periodic table.
For example, the chemical word POSSEsSiON is made using the symbols
for phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), Einsteinium (Es),
silicon (Si), and nitrogen (N).You don't need to be familiar with
the periodic table to solve these problems; nor do you need to know
any chemistry. You just need to be able to count and unscramble
elements to make words.This 'Medium' volume consists of words with
6 symbols, which involves familiarity with common 6 to 12 letter
words.A unique feature of this book is that there is a Hints
section at the back separate from the Answers section, for puzzlers
who may be stuck and want to check just the first letter of the
solution.MORE EXAMPLES: (1) S + Ni + Ge + U __ __ __ __ .(2) 2 C +
N + 2 I + P __ __ __ __ __ __ .(3) Ti + C + Cr + P + Y __ __ __ __
__ .(4) 2 C + U + 2 S + Es __ __ __ __ __ __ .You can find the
answers below.Note that this medium volume consists of chemical
words with 6 symbols. There are also easy and hard puzzles
(available in separate volumes), which consist of shorter and
longer chemical words.ANSWERS: (1) GeNiUS (2) PICNIC (3) CrYPTiC
(4) SUCCEsS.

"Why Do We Have to Go to School?" is a 10,000 word fictional
dialogue between a young man and his father. A fascinating debate
evolves after the son asks, "Dad, why do we have to go to school?"
This lively and captivating conversation serves as a
thought-provoking discussion on the current status of educational
policy and practice - specifically, regarding the use and role of
technology in the classroom. It is beautifully decorated with
related icons and word blocks. This artistic touch shows how books
have evolved with technology, which closely parallels one of the
themes from the dialogue. The images appear in color in the e-book
edition and in black-and-white in the paperback edition. SON: Dad,
why do we have to go to school? FATHER: Son, you need to learn
valuable skills, like the three R's. SON: What's the third R? I can
think of A-R-E, as in, "Are you going to let me stay home?" and
O-U-R, as in, "Our time is being wasted in school." FATHER: No,
Son, you misunderstood. The three R's are reading, writing, and
arithmetic. SON: Why do they call them the three R's? Two of those
words don't even begin with an R. FATHER: Well, they do have an R
in common. What would you call them? SON: War FATHER: Now, Son,
there's no reason to become so violent about it. SON: But, Dad,
hear me out. W.A.R. stands for Writing, Arithmetic, and Reading.
