Describes how kaleidoscopes work and how to create 24 designs of scope. Designs include tumbling spirals, twirling club sandwich, whirling doilies, and a quadruple taper with dancing balls.

Filled with actual images of kaleidoscopes, this book covers the elements of design and technqiues used to create the random nature of the scope's interior on the flat surface of a quilt. The color and complexity of Paula's quilts invite the reader to return again and again. Step-by-step instructions will inspire quilters to see the possibilities in fabric in a whole new way.

H.S.M. Coxeter is one of the world's best-known mathematicians who wrote several papers and books on geometry, algebra and topology, and finite mathematics. This book is being published in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Mathematical Society and it is a collection of 26 papers written by Dr. Coxeter.

Kids will learn how things they encounter every day operate by building their own models with this hands-on activity book. Projects include building a working model of the human hand's muscles, bones, and tendons using drinking straws, tape, and string; using a pair of two-liter bottles and a length of rubber tubing to learn how a toilet flushes; and discovering how musical instruments make sounds by fashioning a harmonica, saxophone, drum, flute, or oboe. All devices are designed to use recycled or nearly free materials and common tools. Kids are encouraged to modify and improve the designs, or create an entirely new device using the concepts explored. Each project includes materials and tools lists, step-by-step instructions with photographs, a summary of the science concept demonstrated, and follow-up questions to gauge student understanding for use in the classroom.

"God transformed Monica's story, and helped her to see the beauty in the kaleidoscope of her broken life, and now she shares her message of hope all around the world. Monica relates God's healing power in a manner that is simple yet profound. She urges survivors to dump their emotional baggage and allow God's glory to reveal the essence of their broken lives. Her simple theology is that if Jesus can heal her pain and bind her brokenness, He will do the same for you. Monica is an expert in her chosen profession; she is the founder of a fast-growing international Christian outreach program (profession and organization name withheld to promote anonymity)."--P.
