What will spark a youngster's imagination and possibly even ignite an interest in a future career? A book about the human anatomy can answer those heart felt needs. Many people become curious about medicine during childhood. Perusing an anatomy book designed for young people, a detail captured their attention, or made them inquire further into how healthy human bodies function. What organ causes blood to circulate? How does some one breathe? Where is the brain located? Anatomy books inspire learning!
The Human Body In Color Volume 1
A book about the human body can answer many of the questions a child will have at some point or another in his early years about this topic. Besides helping the parents answer these questions, it can help the child process information and imagine his body and its constituting parts as either friendly or otherwise. However, the most important way in which it can spark the child's imagination, such a book will act as a filter between productive and unproductive patterns that the child creates.
The Human Body In Color Volume 3
A book about your body parts provides the imagination with the scaffolding needed to build ideas from basic information. This information will give the child a basis with which to form questions. How can he wonder how the heart works if the kid doesn't know what the heart is? Once a child sees what is, the child can start to formulate what could be. The imagination snowballs from there, in zones of proximal learning and a series of 'what ifs?'

Fylling's Illustrated Guide to Pacific Coast Tide Pools
This scientifically accurate yet utterly charming field guide to the Pacific coast intertidal zone introduces readers to a world populated by spectacular wildlife: 150-year-old giant green anemones that paralyze their prey with their petal-like tentacles; sunflower sea stars that traverse the tide pool floor on twenty-four limbs; orange-tipped, opalescent sea slugs that dabble in cannibalism; and much, much more. Small enough to fit in a back pocket during a beach hike, the guide contains concise descriptions of tide pools' most common residents, noting each organism's size and zonation, as well as a few of its fascinating (and sometimes grotesque) habits. Full-color illustrations reminiscent of prints by Ernst Haeckel help tide poolers with easy identification.
De-Bug
No shuttle buses here: <i>De-Bug</i>, a new collection of true stories from the social justice organization of the same name, shows a side of working in Silicon Valley that you won't read about in the business section. As tech moguls land the cover of Forbes, the South Bay's working class is making ends meet as metal scrappers, factory workers, club bouncers, hairstylists, rickshaw drivers, ice cream cart pushers. The stories in <i>De-Bug</i> are poignant, often very funny accounts of bootstrapping in the land of angel investors and thought leaders. A construction worker predicts which of his customers are about to strike it rich and which are on the edge of bankruptcy based on the states of their swimming pools. A “secondhand hustler” travels the garage sale-flea market circuit in search of treasures to resell online. A temp worker at a medical device manufacturer sells his blood, at the company's request, to test the equipment. These storytellers are frank when discussing their own flaws, but are equally up-front about the rigged system in which they operate.
A Californian's Guide to the Birds among Us
As its sister title, <i>A Californian's Guide to the Trees among Us</i>, did for arboreal varieties, this new guidebook introduces casual birders to 120 of California's most easily seen bird species—native and exotic alike—as found in a mix of urban, suburban, and traditionally natural habitats. Full-color images and clear, direct descriptions make identification easy, and author Charles Hood supplements the essential information with surprising facts and trivia, including endangered-species recovery stories and the world record for grasshoppers eaten by one flycatcher in a single day. In sections addressing which gear to buy, where to go birdwatching, and how to read a birdsong transcription, Hood encourages readers to take ownership of their experiences, no matter their level of ornithological expertise. This accurate, lively, and even quotable guide will inspire people to notice nature more closely and find joy in interacting with the astounding diversity of avian life in California.
