We�re only as good as the questions we ask. They determine the decisions we make as we live and lead. People who have changed the world, like Leonardo da Vinci, Aristotle, Albert Einstein, and George Washington Carver have done so because they questioned things other people took for granted. The future belongs to leaders who will not only lead with an inquisitive spirit, but will surround themselves with curious people as well. Living and leading with an inquisitive spirit has driven some of the most creative minds in history. This book could prove to be an invaluable resource not only f

Will my hot chocolate cool down faster if I add the cold milk now or later? Will ketchup flow faster if it’s stirred first? Taking first place in the science fair has never been so much fun! These biology, chemistry, and physics experiments, devised by a real scientist and former high school chemistry teacher, really rock. That’s because each activity answers questions that actually fascinate kids--whether they’re exploring the laws of motion by smashing eggs against a wall, learning how to use diapers to prevent fire, or going "Supersonic" as they measure the speed of sound.

"Emergency Navigation is far more generally applicable than the title indicates. It is, first and foremost, a detailed account of how to find your position anywhere in the world’s oceans after your electronics fail and you lose your sextant, watch, and almanac, but that’s really only the beginning. The book is chock-full of good sound navigational techniques and principles that will serve you well regardless of where and under what conditions you are sailing. Hopefully you will never be confronted by the need for emergency navigation, but even the most pleasurable sailing afternoon

Those who find their equanimity challenged by the lucubrations of William F. Buckley Jr. will surely see their torpor evanesce after reading The Lexicon. Monosyllabically: if it bugs you when you read words you don’t know, this book will help. Buckley is renowned (and sometimes unfairly reviled) for his extensive working vocabulary, from which he unerringly picks the right word for every occasion. The Lexicon is a pocket guide to his esoterica with several hundred entries, each concisely defined and accompanied by an example of its use from his writings, which is quite a handy feature. F
