What makes your body work? Is it all in your mind? Sort of! Take a
tour of the human body from head to toes and everything in between.
This latest instalment in the Brainiac’s series is an accessible,
fun and inclusive introduction to the human body. Full of funky
facts and astounding activities, readers will discover all there is
to know about the body and the brilliant brain that makes it all
work. Explore what happens to the food we eat, how medicines can
fool us into making us feel better, as well as how and why we
dream, and more! Aimed at curious children who want to know how
their body works and how their brain keeps it running, The
Brainiac’s Book of the Body and Brain answers need-to-know and
quirky questions about the bodies we live in.
Paul Virr, STEM ambassador for the Bath Royal Scientific and
Literary Institute, introduces readers to the myriad robots doing
all the dull, dirty and dangerous work in our world. This new
addition to the Brainiac series approaches science and technology
from a creative angle to make STEM learning as accessible and fun
as possible. Hands-on activities include building a grippy robot
hand, making a mechanical hopping frog, testing yourself for
artificial intelligence, designing a battle-bot, and writing the
first bill of robot rights. Readers will also find out which gross
and scary jobs only robots can do, how nanobots could battle bugs
inside the human body and why self-driving cars save lives.
This Book Thinks You're an Artist is one of the rare books on the
market to combine art history with practical activities on the
page. It asks the reader to imagine their eccentric-artist
alter-ego before working through six key topics: painting,
sculpture, illustration, decorative art, photography and
contemporary art. Each spread centres on a different technique for
producing a piece of art, and relates the activity back to a famous
artist or movement in a light-hearted and playful tone. Activities
include making a Bruegel circus, playing a Surrealist game, selling
a scribble for a million pounds and painting your face like a
Russian Futurist. A section of paper-based crafts at the end of the
book includes a kit to build a camera obscura.
Quirky stories, interactive activities and off-the-wall
infographics serve to answer young brainiacs' urgent questions
about the climate and weather. What's the difference between the
climate and weather? How do we know global warming is real? The
answers to these and many more pressing questions are explored in
this book through memorable stories, infographic data dumps, and by
engineering a solar oven from a pizza box, among other hands-on
activities. Aimed at young brainiacs who want to know how many cow
farts make up the Earth's atmosphere, and how to whip up a homemade
storm.
This activity book helps children to think like an inventor by
introducing key engineering concepts in a highly visual and
entertaining way. Through fun activities and Harriet Russell's
playful illustrations, it encourages readers to engage with new
ideas and think about problems in a creative way. The book explores
the six key aspects of engineering that are essential to any
successful inventor: problem-finding, designing, making and
testing, improving your invention, building techniques and how to
find new uses for existing objects. Each spread centres on an
open-ended question that introduces a different way of approaching
an invention. Activities include making a bridge from toothpicks
and mini marshmallows; inventing a way to lift this book without
touching it; building a painting robot; designing your own remote
control; and harvesting electricity from a banana. At the end of
the book is a tinkering lab, which includes paper-based crafts and
engineering activities.

The Genealogy and Family History Collection is a unique set of
materials that describes the histories and narratives of particular
American families. The Collection brings to life pre-1923 books
that contain information such as birth, death, marriage, property
and migration records of specific families. Many of these families
followed interesting migration and movement patterns from Western
Europe and beyond to the United States well over 200 years ago.
Included in these volumes is information such as last wills and
testaments, period photographs of towns, buildings and landscapes,
portraits of family members, and descriptions of business
interactions. Encompassing such comprehensive and personal
information, this collection will appeal to genealogists, family
history researchers, as well as descendants and casual historians.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

ethical principles as a foundation, and plenty of out-of-real-life
dilemmas as examples, Dr. Bruce Weinstein offers answers and an
approach to things that teens will find useful, reliable, and
commonsensical.
