How heavy is that cloud? Why can you see farther in rain than in fog? Why are the droplets on that spider web spaced apart so evenly? If you have ever asked questions like these while outdoors, and wondered how you might figure out the answers, this is a book for you. An entertaining and informative collection of fascinating puzzles from the natural world around us, A Mathematical Nature Walk will delight anyone who loves nature or math or both. John Adam presents ninety-six questions about many common natural phenomena--and a few uncommon ones--and then shows how to answer them using mostly basic mathematics. Can you weigh a pumpkin just by carefully looking at it? Why can you see farther in rain than in fog? What causes the variations in the colors of butterfly wings, bird feathers, and oil slicks? And why are large haystacks prone to spontaneous combustion? These are just a few of the questions you'll find inside. Many of the problems are illustrated with photos and drawings, and the book also has answers, a glossary of terms, and a list of some of the patterns found in nature. About a quarter of the questions can be answered with arithmetic, and many of the rest require only precalculus. But regardless of math background, readers will learn from the informal descriptions of the problems and gain a new appreciation of the beauty of nature and the mathematics that lies behind it.

Bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein kicks off a new series for middle grade featuring Alex Myers, a student athlete who tries to take on the sports establishment in his new town. Alex Myers is a quarterback, but from the first day of football practice, it’s clear that that position is very much filled by the coach’s son, Matt. Alex has the better arm, but Matt has more experience—and the coach’s loyalty. Alex finally gets a chance to show what he can do when Matt is injured, and he helps win a key game to keep the Lions’ bid for the state championship alive. But just when his star is rising, Alex gets blindsided—the state has started drug testing, and Alex’s test comes back positive for steroids. Alex knows that’s not right. But he doesn’t know if it’s a mistake—or if someone wants to make sure he can’t play. . . . John Feinstein has been praised as “the best writer of sports books in America today” (The Boston Globe), and this first installment in the Triple Threat series is his most thrilling and suspenseful novel yet. Fans of Mike Lupica, Tim Green, and Paul Volponi will want to check out The Walk On, and its companion, The Sixth Man. “A cliffhanger of a football novel bristling with social, personal, familial and ethical issues to complement the gridiron action. . . . All the goods for the sports enthusiast—and more.” —Kirkus Reviews
Thrust into the unlikely role of professional "literary walking tour" guide, an expat writer provides the most irresistibly witty and revealing tour of Paris in years. In this enchanting memoir, acclaimed author and long-time Paris resident John Baxter remembers his yearlong experience of giving "literary walking tours" through the city. Baxter sets off with unsuspecting tourists in tow on the trail of Paris's legendary artists and writers of the past. Along the way, he tells the history of Paris through a brilliant cast of characters: the favorite cafés of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce; Pablo Picasso's underground Montmartre haunts; the bustling boulevards of the late-nineteenth-century flâneurs; the secluded "Little Luxembourg" gardens beloved by Gertrude Stein; the alleys where revolutionaries plotted; and finally Baxter's own favorite walk near his home in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
A Walk with John is a fascinating journey telling John's story of the gospel. The Apostle John, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, brings to us the very exciting events in the life of Jesus. We witness, along with John, the miracles, the reactions of the people and the words of Jesus. Truth unfolds in a cultural and historical setting, as the culture introduces the Feasts of Israel. The people and Jesus are part of the celebration. In the historical setting of Israel, and the upward travel to Jerusalem of the people, we follow along. Exciting and informative stories and articles by five devoted writers bring John's story clearly into focus. Expressions of the art and devotional poetry connect closely with the message. "Little Ruthie," a stick figure, keeps the book light and especially enjoyable. She gets involved in the story with her questions and has fun in the old city of Jerusalem. There is help and hope for the reader, and a different way to look at life. One word describes this book--Encouragement! About the Author Creative writing describes author Ruth N. Hample. Her first poem to her mother and father at age twelve and a song composed in her teens were the beginning of her creative writing. Children's poetry and stories developed as part of her exciting life. Ruth's background of teaching the scriptures brings to others help, direction and joy through the Bible and her life's experiences. As editor and contributor of a booklet entitled The Encourager, she was able to reach out and touch many with God's love. Her poetry and music includes topics of praise, love and trust, which are all included as well in her Bible Message and Music programs. Ruth's dream of many years came true in the premier of her Cantata, "Israel My Glory." God has blessed Ruth, her husband, George, their daughters Linda and Susan, and their families.
While overlooking a valley during a hike in the mountains above Buena Vista, Colorado, a man named Lauren runs into John, an engaging fellow with a disarming smile who claims to have been waiting for Lauren and sent to answer all of his questions - "about life or anything else." As they venture forth together, Lauren finds John to be a powerful source of revelation, inspiration, and spiritual enlightenment. Unusually at ease and open to John's wisdom, Lauren asks the kinds of questions we all spend a lifetime pondering: - How can I make my life more meaningful? - What are my mental and spiritual capabilities and capacities? - What will happen to my spirit a er I die? - Will I ever be in the presence of God? - And many more John tells Lauren everything he needs to know about good and evil, bodies and spirits, and humility and love. For Lauren, the walk with John forces him to reevaluate his own life and what it means to be human. This encouraging and uplifting spiritual guide challenges us to examine our relationship with God, our fellow man, and the earth itself, as we strive to live the laws of love and create a unity with all.
