Review

I love this book. As a parent, as well as a high school Science teacher, this book is priceless. I have learned over the years that children learn faster when they are learning with a sense of humor combined with facts. This book combines both beautifully. It is a must for every educator and parent who wants their children to know about the wonderful world of science, and wants to help unfold the mysteries underneath the why's. -- Laurie Emerson, [e-mail], February 8, 1999

This review is from: Watered-Down Electricity (Paperback)

What can i not say about this book.... none of us really have the time to get into extensive research in huge hardcover books on the mundane details of electricity.. so what more could you ask for in a comprehensive thorough yet easy-to-read and understand book on electricity for any age...
