JOHN COLLINS
Children bring your parents to this Paper Airplane Workshop! We will supply the paper and tables to work on. You should come prepared to learn some fabulous new designs. The Gliding Flight is a return to paper airplane basics: one person, one piece of paper, and a few folds later, one airplane. Using a refreshingly innovative approach to designs and flying characteristics, John Collins teaches you to make 20 paper planes, such as the Stealth, the Wind Devil, the Glart, and the Skid Kid. |

LEE SMOLIN
A veritable cottage industry has sprung up around string theory, driven largely by its charismatic, evangelical leaders. This is the first book to proclaim that the emperor has no clothes. In The Trouble With Physics, Lee Smolin, a leading theoretical physicist exposes how string theory is hurting science, and what can be done about it. |

JASON ROBERTS
In the first half of the 19th century, when much of the world remained unmapped, the man who ventured further than any other was not an expedition leader, or even a professional explorer. He was a blind man traveling alone. A Sense of the World is biography at its best: an entrancing work that vividly depicts the trials and triumphs of a life lived in full. |
