The Cartoon Introduction to Calculus Tekijä: Yoram Bauman Ph.D.
I found this in Sherman's in Bar Harbor. I had seen a similar book by the same authors on Statistics that I didn't like much, but this is brilliant. In my limited experience, Calculus was a collection of techniques that I memorized in order to solve a bunch of changing rate story problems in the classes that I took as an undergraduate, but would suddenly change into something similar but different when I used it in Physics or in Statistics. This book concentrates on the underlying concepts of Calculus using cartoons. It has an historical perspective, including both Newton and Leibnitz as characters, and it includes enough explanation of technique so that it ties everything to my experience. I wish I had it 50 years ago.… (lisätietoja)
Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley.
A pretty good look at climate change, from the evidence that it is indeed happening to the options we might pursue to mitigate it. Very informative and even-handed.
Too bad it doesn't look good. The art is all grayscale and wobbly, with thick and blotchy lines that often fail to connect or drop out in the middle. It reminded me of an old comic strip hanging on an officer worker's cubicle wall that was third-generation photocopy of a fax of a mimeograph.

I love how the author has explained an important and currently critical issue in a fun and interesting manner through a comic. Kids will not only find this readable compared to textbooks but they'll also enjoy reading it.
