Janice VanCleave's Physics for Every Kid

How do magnets work? What makes a curve ball curve? What keeps an airplane in the air? How can a pulley make you five times stronger? Now you can learn the answers to these and other questions about basic physics through 101 fun, safe, low-cost experiments and activities that can be performed at home or in the classroom. In Physics for Every Kid, you’ll learn about gravity from funnels that seem to defy nature by rolling up hill. 

Nattily packaged-the cover sports a Roy Lichtensteinesque image of an economist in Dick Tracy garb-and cleverly written, this book applies basic economic theory to such modern phenomena as Starbucks' pricing system and Microsoft's stock values. While the concepts explored are those encountered in Microeconomics 101, Harford gracefully explains abstruse ideas like pricing along the demand curve and game theory using real world examples without relying on graphs or jargon.

The Bell Curve. Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life
According to The Bell Curve, Intelligence and Class Structure in AmericanLife, by Richard J. Herrnstein, Ph.D. Psychology, Harvard University,and Charles Murray, Ph.D. Political Science, M.I.T., black IQ scores areso far below white IQ scores in their distribution as to preclude usefulAffirmative Action Programs. The reason? Only 29,000 African Americans haveIQ levels above 130 points, the minimal level found suitable for many executivesin business. With 15+ million businesses in America, this leaves fewer than1 theoretically qualified African American for each 500 businesses to serveas executives; however, more than 20,000 of these 29,000 African Americansare under 21 years of age and one-half of those precious few 9,000 AfricanAmericans who are presently above 21 years of age will never earn a universityundergraduate degree. That leaves just 4,500 African Americans over 130IQ points with a university degree to share among 15+ million companies.this is why Affirmative Action has aided white women and asians in achievinghigh promotions more than it has African Americans.
