How does a city obtain water, gas, and electricity? Where do these services come from? How are they transported? The answer is infrastructure, or the inner, and sometimes invisible, workings of the city. Roads, railroads, bridges, telephone wires, and power lines are visible elements of the infrastructure; sewers, plumbing pipes, wires, tunnels, cables, and sometimes rails are usually buried underground or hidden behind walls.
Experiments, games, and construction diagrams show how these structures are built, how they work, and how they affect the environment of the city and the land outside it.
The Secret Lives of Boys: Inside the Raw Emotional World of Male Teens
The Secret Lives of Boys is an uncensored look into boyhood culture and reveals with unabashed honesty spine-tingling confessions, heartrending sadness and isolation, unbridled optimism and seemingly boundless resilience. By listening without judging, Saval has created an authoritative entrée into the clandestine culture of boyhood, lending a voice to a demographic undeservedly jilted. This book asks the pertinent questions: Who are these boys? What do they think of themselves?

This book should interest many of the same patrons who check out Lyn Waring's Hats in Miniature (see review below). Although patterns are designed for 12", 14", 16", and 18" dolls, instructions for measuring your doll and adjusting the patterns to fit make the book of interest to almost any doll collector. Make no mistake: these clothes, while easy to sew, are quite attractive. Although purchased laces and trims cut sewing time, the more ambitious doll clothier can fancy up these creations even further.
