Creative Kinetics: Making Mechanical Marvels in Wood
Artist, inventor, and longtime author Rodney Frost is known for wacky, whimsical woodworking books that encourage readers to experiment. With his newest, most creative volume yet, he provides an introduction to the wild and whimsical world of kinetic art—art that moves. Using plenty of informative sidebars and dynamic illustrations, Frost teaches the basic techniques in his own inimitable style, beginning with easy, fun projects like weather vanes and mobiles powered by air currents alone. Then it’s on to simple toys you manipulate with strings, and art mechanized by levers, cranks, cams, and cogs.

Children of the Frost
A weary journey beyond the last scrub timber and straggling copses into the heart of the Barrens where the niggard North is supposed to deny the Earth are to be found great sweeps of forests and stretches of smiling land. But this the world is just beginning to know. The world's explorers have known it from time to time but hitherto they have never returned to tell the world.
A Boy’s Will was Frost’s first collection of poems, published in 1913 and introduced the world to this remarkable poet. This first book of early writings is representative of his focus on subjects of nature and love. Robert Frost is probably one of America’s most well-known poets and four of his poetry volumes were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
This title presents in-depth critical discussions of his life and works. Widely celebrated during his lifetime as the greatest living American poet, Robert Frost remains one of the few poets whose work is enjoyed by scholars and general readers alike.
