Australian Backyard Earth Scientist

4.9/5 (31762 ratings)

Description:This is the author speaking, which is why there is no star rating.The purpose of this book: to explain in an accessible way, some of the strange things the planet throws at us, like rocks that float, rocks that flow and rocks that bend. The book is written in a style that I developed to communicate to young people, but in my other life as a bureaucrat, I also used that style to persuade my superordinates to adopt my proposed policies. (I didn't need to persuade my superiors, because they already agreed with me, or used me to push our agreed policies, but the superordinates, those above me of no great worth, were another story.)That's opinion. Let's just stay with the facts: I trained as a scientist, I care passionately about science and the future of our world, and I win prizes for writing for youngsters (which is hard), but I also write for adults (which is easy), and this book can go both ways.I hope among other things, to give adults the tools with which to infect another generation. Every activity in the book was done from scratch and photographed, so readers can see the steps and read a logical account that leaves nothing out, because I made notes to myself as I went through the steps.In the 1950s, I used to go home from school, having seen a demonstration in the classroom. I would try to repeat it at home, using a chemistry set which gave me a great deal more freedom than my parents ever realised.As a teacher, I adopted a deliberate policy of sharing what I called "take-home science", activities that you could take home and try for yourself. I specialised in making my own equipment from available scrap, and showing my audiences how I made stuff. This book is the culmination of a life-time's experience as the arch-underminer of the Machines That Go Ping industry.Simple science is good science.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
