Science fair project suggestions and extensive "where to learn more" resources are included, too. You will add another dimension to your textbook understanding of science.For this New Edition: The second edition of 3D Printed Science Projects is a thorough update of the original, modernizing the 3D printing technology. 3D Printed Science Projects shows you how to create 3D printable models that can help students from kindergarten through grad school learn math, physics, botany, chemistry, engineering and more. Each of the models is created in the free, open source CAD program OpenSCAD, so it can be customized by the reader. This allows the models to be the basis of open-ended STEM projects at a variety of levels.What You'll Learn Create (and present the science behind) 3D printed models.Use a 3D printer to create those models as simply as possible.Discover new science insights from designing 3D models. Who This Book Is For3D Printed Science Projects particularly targets the technology-squeamish teacher or parent who want their kids tolearn something from their 3D printer but need help getting started. Kids who love science, homeschoolers (and the grandmas who buy them birthday presents) will be customers.

36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem
by Nam LeAn explosive, devastating debut poetry book from the winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem is an urgent, unsettling reckoning with identity – and the violence of identity. For Le, a Vietnamese refugee in the West, this means the assumed violence of racism, oppression and historical trauma. But it also means the violence of that assumption. Of being always assumed to be outside one’s home, country, culture or language. And the complex violence – for the diasporic writer who wants to address any of this – of language itself. Making use of multiple tones, moods, masks and camouflages, Le’s poetic debut moves with unpredictable and destabilizing energy between the personal and political. As self-indicting as it is scathing, hilarious as it is desperately moving, this is a singular, breakthrough book.
3 Shades of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans & The Lost Empire of Cool
by James Kaplan1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue. 3 Shades of Blue is a magnificent, blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Kaplan meditates on creativity and the great forebears of this golden age who would take the music down strange new paths. Above all, this is a book about three very different men - their struggles, their choices, their tragedies, their greatness. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplan's hands, an American Odyssey, with no direction home.

The 25 Rules of Grammar: The Essential Guide to Good English
by Joseph PiercyEverything you need to know about the 25 essential rules of English grammar.English grammar is often said to be over-complicated and difficult to get to grips with but the truth is that, while there are certain rules that should be obeyed, the language evolves and develops over time – and quite rightly so. In this useful book, Joseph Piercy outlines the 25 rules that should be adhered to in written and spoken English, defining the rules themselves and then decoding them for the layman so that he or she understands each rule and how it has been used and developed over time. Here the author highlights the most common misuses – or plain errors – in the language, such as apostrophes, 'who' and 'whom', and avoiding split infinitives and double negatives, while also setting the reader on to the right path to speaking and writing in good, plain English.
