Coding and the Arts
Unlock your students’ creative potential by exploring the intersections between CS and art across various types of artistic media, including drawing, animation, music and physically interactive art. While there are books that discuss the intersection of the arts and computer science (CS), there are none written for K-12 teachers that cover the content overlaps between CS and the arts beyond a single programming environment, and that feature approaches and examples of practicing artists. Coding and the Arts fills that gap. CS sometimes gets a bad rap as dry, isolated and uninteresting work — the pursuit of analytically minded techies working alone. In reality, programming is deeply creati...
The Answer Key
When life presents problems, all a heroine really wants is an answer key to fix them. Shannon Waller lives a paycheck-to-paycheck existence in far north Montana. A missing husband. Not even a pet. Alone. Suddenly life hands her the kind of money she only dreams of—an amount that starts with a B. A move to Ithaca, New York and into a home she inherits plus new friends—what more can she asks for? Private investigator Michael Silver is determined to find out who might want to kill Shannon. While his life seems safe, hers is one ‘accident’ after another, each hurting her worse. When a bullet barely misses Shannon, she and Michael have to discover who, what and why she’s a target for murder. And do it fast before the next attempt succeeds!

Electric Motorcycles and Bicycles
Beginning in 1881, isolated prototypes of electric tricycles and bicycles were patented and sometimes tested. Limited editions followed in the 1940s, but it was not until the lithium-ion battery became available in the first decade of this century that urban pedelecs and more powerful open-road motorcycles--sometimes with speeds of over 200 mph--became possible and increasingly popular. Today's ever-growing fleets of one-wheel, two-wheel and three-wheel light electric vehicles can now be counted in the hundreds of millions. In this third installment of his electric transport history series, the author covers the lives of the innovative engineers who have developed these e-wheelers.
