Woodward J. This Book Made Me Do It

Publisher: DK Publishing, 2010. - 192 pages.Knowledge comes in all shapes and sizes, and This Book Made Me Do It celebrates it in all its vastness and variety. The reader will learn not only how to make a barometer, but why barometers matter, and how to use them to forecast weather. Readers will be provided with clear step-by-step instructions on everything from hacking their gadgets and toys, to making clouds in bottles, and creating music from the most surprising of everyday objects. There is something here for the hobbyist, the amateur, or just the fantastically curious. Because of the range of activities in this book, it will appeal not only to children but to the whole family. The educational value of How To Do Everything is well hidden behind its simple approach."What a cool book. I bought it for my fifteen-year old, but even my 23 year-old said it was one of the coolest books ever. The gamut this book covers is amazing. If a kid read and did everything contained in the book, he would be a real know-it-all, but in a refreshing way. It is nice to know that there are still books out there that can inspire kids of the techno age." amazon.com
