Want to know how rocket engines work? This learning guide for kids from 10 to 100 covers the basics of how rocket engines from solid fueled boosters, to liquid fueled moon rockets, to backpack thrusters, to nuclear thermal engines, iondrives and others work. In simple, non-technical language, the physics and engineering of how these marvels work is explained, in a slowly building way, so that even a kid with no math background can understand. There are lots of diagrams of both the engines, and how they fit into spaceships. Funny characters take the fear out of rocket science for everyone to enjoy, and home experiments make the basic principles easy to understand.Let's explore space, and You Will Design Rocket Engines.

Want to know how to live and thrive in space? This book, for kids from 10 to 100, describes the basics of living in space,from space ships, to space stations, to asteroid mines, to moon bases, space hotels, and Mars colonies.

California has a wonderful diversity of ocean worlds, from mountain rivers and deltas, to beaches, to kelp forests and deep sea. This book includes a variety of these worlds, with thirty-six species of fish including sharks, halibut, tuna, sea bass, beautiful Garibaldi Damselfish, rock fish, and salmon. With these fish, are whales, sea otters, seals, sea lions, sea urchins, lobsters, sea stars, and crabs. All are shown in real world ecosystems, as you might find them. An identification guide is included, and challenges the readers and listeners to find all the fishes, mammals, and invertebrates in the book, or in the wild. Appropriate for kids of any age, and fun for kids from 1 to 101. Younger kids will enjoy the colorful pictures and calming story, older kids will learn basic ecology and marine biology. Even adults will learn something new about California's Pacific Ocean.

Explore the icy ocean at the top of the world! All ages from baby and up can listen and learn, and elementary school kids can read on their own. Learn about the animals that make the ice and water home, from polar bears, to Arctic foxes, to beluga whales, to narwhals, to giant sharks, to fuzzy seals, to orcas, to porpoises, and many others. Puffins and auks live. Colorful Arctic char, cod, capelin, and halibut are depicted as they swim. This book covers the real-world species as they make the waters under the ice, and the ice, home. At the end is an identification guide to allow the reader, or listener, to find the animals in the wild or at a zoo.

Have you ever wanted to design your own spaceship? In You Will Design Spaceships you can learn how. The third book in the You Will ____ Space TM Series, You Will Design Spaceships combines simple definitions of spaceship terms, easy to perform experiments, and illustrations, to walk even young readers through the parts of spacecraft, the many systems, and how they work together. From the reasons (missions) for your spaceship, to choosing engines, to thinking about thrust, and structure. These complex-sounding ideas are broken down so that little to no prior knowledge is required. After reading this book, the child (or adult) will be able to look at modern spaceships and understand why they look like they do, and know a little bit about how they work. A great book for the aspiring engineer, scientist, or astronaut. Also, a good resource for early STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) courses. At the end are simple math problems for the advanced reader. Read this book and You Will Design Spaceships!

Want to know how rocket engines work? This learning guide for kids from 10 to 100 covers the basics of how rocket engines from solid fueled boosters, to liquid fueled moon rockets, to backpack thrusters, to nuclear thermal engines, ion drives and others work.

Space Explorers will also be Space Farmers! In this book future space explorers will learn all about how farms in Space work. How will people grow food, recycle air and water, and use wastes? Inside are ways to grow plants without soil, farm fish and shrimp in small spaces, grow algae in a reactor, and use yeast and bacteria. Readers will learn how animals and fungi convert food and oxygen, and how plants and algae convert carbon dioxide and water. Simple experiments anchor key concepts, and advanced readers can explore a couple of related math exercises. Playful illustrations make the book fun for all ages. Concepts are tied together to show how the farm can support a growing space habitat. Read this book and you too, will learn to farm in space. The fourth book in the You Will ___ Space series.
