Book Description
Top science author Michael DiSpezio devises some bright fun to show kids exactly how their brain, nerves, and senses work. Entertaining, informative, and all in color, this varied collection of great brain tricks, experiments, puzzles, quizzes, and activities provides a cool road map to exploring the most awesome part of the body. Every point is made in a wonderfully clear and clever way, whether DiSpezio has children create a simple model of the brain by cupping both hands, or suggests easy-to-understand comparisons (a thinking human brain uses about the same amount of power as a glowing 60-watt bulb). From an outline of the brain’s major regions and a look at animal brains to creativity rules and memory tests, every detail is illuminating.

Book Description
Imagine there's a real Jurassic Park right around the block--wouldn't that be super? These dinosaur activities, projects, and other fun things to do are the next best thing. Journey back to ancient times with a prehistoric quiz that sets the facts straight on whether dinos could fly, if the largest dinosaurs dragged their tails on the ground, and what the complete skeleton of a T-Rex looks like. Identify different dinosaurs by their silhouettes. Flip through history with stick figure animations you make yourself. Learn about fossils and where to find them. The art's great, too: you'll see pictures of a fossilized tooth (actual size), an enlargement of an iguana, the image of an iguanodon, and more.

All in all, you'll have a delightful trip--and end up just where you want to be!

Book Description
In this compact and colorful book, Robert Ausbourne (b. 1947) presents a crystal-clear dissection of a variety of confounding optical illusions. His text and vivid illustrations explain how illusions work and how you can make your own, using just basic drawing and computer skills. As Ausbourne says, "If you are human, you already have the basic skills necessary to study illusions." The thirty-seven projects presented in How to Understand, Enjoy, and Draw Optical Illusions will fascinate young and old, everyone who enjoys untangling how the mind works and the eye sees. Art and science teachers, graphic designers, and artists alike will find it indispensable.

Book Description
For over twenty years, psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman has examined the quirky science of everyday life. In Quirkology , he navigates the backwaters of human behavior, discovering the tell-tale signs that give away a liar, the secret science behind speed-dating and personal ads, and what a person's sense of humor reveals about the innermost workings of their mind- all along paying tribute to others who have carried out similarly weird and wonderful work. Wiseman's research has involved secretly observing people as they go about their daily business, conducting unusual experiments in art exhibitions and music concerts, and even staging fake sainces in allegedly haunted buildings. With thousands of research subjects from all over the world, including enamored couples, unwitting pedestrians, and guileless dinner guests, Wiseman presents a fun, clever, and unexpected picture of the human mind.
