Apologia - Land Animals of the Sixth Day
by Jeannie Fulbright
What separates people from apes? How can a Great Dane be related to a Chihuahua? Is there evidence that people and dinosaurs lived at the same time? What should you do if you encounter a bear? How can you tell if a snake is poisonous? Come find out answers to these questions and many, many more with Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Zoology 3! This third book in the zoology series takes students on a safari through jungles, deserts, forests, farms, and even their own backyard to explore, examine and enjoy the enchanting creatures God designed to inhabit the terrain. Families will snuggle together and discover the amazing animals from primates to parasites, kangaroos to caimans, and turtles to terrifying T-Rexs— this safari doesn’t end there! Students will also keep a record of where each animal is found on a map and learn to identify animal tracks. As with all the Apologia elementary books, students will continue the practice of narration, keeping a notebook of what they have learned, and enjoy many hands on projects and experiments throughout the course. |

Building a Homeschool One Room At A Time: Teaching with Mary's Philosophy and Using Martha's Methodologies
by Carrie De Francisco
Whether you are a Mary or a Martha, you CAN homeschool!
"Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1
With a Mary heart, we can allow the Lord to be the Master Builder of our homes. And since He is the center of our homes, we can teach using Martha's methods knowing our labor will not be in vain. This book is not about the perfect curriculum, the best educational philosophy, or even how to teach like a master. It is about helping each of us, the Mary's and the Martha's, to use God's blueprint to organize our lives in such a way that we can develop a Mary philosophy using a Martha approach. The ideas in this book are to help you and me build a homeschool, one room at time, God's way. |

Building a Homeschool: One Prayer at a Time: Praying Nehemiah's Words With Esther's Boldness
by Carrie De Francisco
"Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain". Building a Homeschool: One Prayer At A time focuses on this passage from Psalms. If the "walls" or fences of our homeschools are dilapidated, the gates is non functional or the watchmen (moms) are asleep, the walls can come crashing down. As homeschooling moms, we need to align our lives, our lessons, and our values with God's will for our families and to protect our homes in prayer. Otherwise, we stand in vain and our walls could come crumbling down. Each chapter in Building a Homeschool: One Room at a Time focuses on a chapter from the Book of Nehemiah with excerpts from Esther's life. Each chapter is structured as a devotional with lessons from God's Word and personal applications for your daily life. At the end of each chapter three sections are included: Nehemiah's Petitions, Esther's Plans and the Lord's Prayer. In the first section, prayers from Nehemiah are paraphrased and reworded for the homeschooling mom to pray while in the second section, bible study questions are included to be used as a personal bible study, during family devotions or with other homeschooling moms in a small bible study group. In the last section The Lord's Prayer is used to teach our children how to be men and women of action by teaching them how to have a vibrant prayer life. |

How I Learned Geography
by Uri Shulevitz
A 2009 Caldecott Honor Book
Having fled from war in their troubled homeland, a boy and his family are living in poverty in a strange country.

As the boy studies its every detail, he is transported to exotic places without ever leaving the room, and he eventually comes to realize that the map feeds him in a way that bread never could.
The award-winning artist’s most personal work to date is based on his childhood memories of World War II and features stunning illustrations that celebrate the power of imagination. An author’s note includes a brief description of his family’s experience, two of his early drawings, and the only surviving photograph of himself from that time. |

Botany of Desire, The: A Plant's-Eye View of the World
by Michael Pollan
Working in his garden one day, Michael Pollan hit pay dirt in the form of an idea: do plants, he wondered, use humans as much as we use them? While the question is not entirely original, the way Pollan examines this complex coevolution by looking at the natural world from the perspective of plants is unique. The result is a fascinating and engaging look at the true nature of domestication.
In making his point, Pollan focuses on the relationship between humans and four specific plants: apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes. He uses the history of John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed) to illustrate how both the apple's sweetness and its role in the production of alcoholic cider made it appealing to settlers moving west, thus greatly expanding the plant's range. He also explains how human manipulation of the plant has weakened it, so that "modern apples require more pesticide than any other food crop." The tulipomania of 17th-century Holland is a backdrop for his examination of the role the tulip's beauty played in wildly influencing human behavior to both the benefit and detriment of the plant (the markings that made the tulip so attractive to the Dutch were actually caused by a virus). His excellent discussion of the potato combines a history of the plant with a prime example of how biotechnology is changing our relationship to nature. As part of his research, Pollan visited the Monsanto company headquarters and planted some of their NewLeaf brand potatoes in his garden--seeds that had been genetically engineered to produce their own insecticide. Though they worked as advertised, he made some startling discoveries, primarily that the NewLeaf plants themselves are registered as a pesticide by the EPA and that federal law prohibits anyone from reaping more than one crop per seed packet. And in a interesting aside, he explains how a global desire for consistently perfect French fries contributes to both damaging monoculture and the genetic engineering necessary to support it.
Pollan has read widely on the subject and elegantly combines literary, historical, philosophical, and scientific references with engaging anecdotes, giving readers much to ponder while weeding their gardens. --Shawn Carkonen, Amazon.com |
