This work provides answers to over 40 questions, coupled with projects that demonstrate the scientific principles behind the answer. This approach, from the point of view of a curious child, should help parents and teachers not only provide accurate answers but also involve children in discovering answers for themselves. These original experiments simulate the same projects that fascinated renowned scientists and launched their careers. It includes biographies of each scientist. The text features safety icons that help adult readers to ensure the safe execution of each experiment. It is intended for parents and teachers who need supplemental resources for the science curriculum.

Every car owner should know how to perform basic automotive maintenance and, if only in emergencies, a few simple repairs. With this "All Thumbs Guide", anyone can. First, Robert Wood takes readers underneath the bonnet, pointing out the standard location and purpose of each major component in the engine, drive shaft, electrical network, and fuel system. Then, after providing general advice on how to diagnose common automative ailments, he examines specific problems and ways to fix them without paying a high-priced mechanic. Briefly worded, clear instructions and step-by-step illustrations show how to care for and service tyres and brakes; replace spark plugs, drive belts and fuel filters; troubleshoot and replace fuses; install headlights and flashers; service radiators, hoses, thermostats and air conditioners; check suspensions and steering; and more. With its convenient lay-flat binding, the book is suitable for driveway car repair.
