Pick of the Week

by Ken Watanabe
Ken Watanabe originally wrote Problem Solving 101 for Japanese schoolchildren. His goal was to help shift the focus in Japanese education from memorization to critical thinking, by adapting some of the techniques he had learned as an elite McKinsey consultant. He was amazed to discover that adults were hungry for his fun and easy guide to problem solving and decision making. Watanabe uses sample scenarios to illustrate his techniques, which include logic trees and matrixes. A rock band figures out how to drive up concert attendance. An aspiring animator budgets for a new computer purchase. Students decide which high school they will attend. Illustrated with diagrams and quirky drawings, the book is simple enough for a middleschooler to understand but sophisticated enough for business leaders to apply to their most challenging problems.

Pick of the Week

by Ed Breslin
Drinking with Miss Dutchie is a story about Dutchie, a Black Labrador, and her lasting impact on the life of her owner and narrator, Ed Breslin. In contrast to the typical tale of dog as man's best friend, Breslin's is a unique reflection on dog as role model and teacher. While the author struggles with clinical depression and addiction, Dutchie maintains her pure lust for life. Over twelve years, she masterfully and instinctively shows Breslin how to view the world for what it is - and embrace it with full force. Raised in North Philadelphia, the second oldest of twelve children in an Irish Catholic family, Breslin recounts his lifelong struggles with alcoholism and depression, and his exquisitely loving, 30-year marriage to his wife Lynn. Breslin tells us how Dutchie, through her elegant negotiation of the world's difficulties and upheavals, showed him how to quell his fears, unwittingly modeled how to strengthen his relationships, and encouraged him to live in the present.

Pick of the Week

by John D.Kasarda and Greg Lindsay
This brilliant and eye-opening look at the new phenomenon called the aerotropolis gives us a glimpse of the way we will live in the near future and the way we will do business too. Not so long ago, airports were built near cities, and roads connected the one to the other. This pattern -- the city in the center, the airport on the periphery -- shaped life in the twentieth century, from the central city to exurban sprawl. Today, the ubiquity of jet travel, round-the-clock workdays, overnight shipping, and global business networks has turned the pattern inside out. Soon the airport will be at the center and the city will be built around it, the better to keep workers, suppliers, executives, and goods in touch with the global market. This is the aerotropolis: a combination of giant airport, planned city, shipping facility, and business hub. The aerotropolis approach to urban living is now reshaping life in Seoul and Amsterdam, in China and India, in Dallas and Washington, D.C. The aerotropolis is the frontier of the next phase of globalization, whether we like it or not. Working with John D. Kasarda's ideas and research, the gifted journalist Greg Lindsay gives us a vivid, at times disquieting look at these instant cities in the making, the challenges they present to our environment and our usual ways of life, and the opportunities they offer to those who can exploit them creatively. Aerotropolis is news from the near future -- news we urgently need if we are to understand the changing world and our place in it.

NASA’s journeys into air and space have deepened humankind’s understanding of the universe, advanced technology breakthroughs, enhanced air travel safety and security, and expanded the frontiers of scientific research. In honor of the last mission in the space shuttle mission, this week we are sending you to the NASA website. Not only does the site provide a plethora of information about the history of NASA, it also provides information about the current shuttle mission, as well as information about what they plan in the future. It also provides information about what the space program has discovered, both about the world we live in, and the universe around us.

Pick of the Week

by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby
A collection of complete comic book stories from the legendary team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, covering every genre in which they made their mark. From the very beginning in the late 1930s, Simon and Kirby produced the finest stories around, creating dramatic new super heroes (Captain America, Blue Bolt, Fighting American, The Fly), western action (Boy's Ranch), gruesome horror (Black Magic), explosive detective fiction (Justice Traps the Guilty), and the very first romance comics (Young Romance). They were the dream team. Hand-picked by Joe Simon himself, with the images fully restored to their original vibrancy, this book contains more than two-dozen tales, presented in their entirety, including some of the most famous creations, such as Captain America, Fighting American, The Fly, Boy's Ranch, Bullseye, and Stuntman!

Website of the Week

I'm a big fan of MadLibs from way back, but I had no way of doing them online... or so I thought! Wacky Web Tales allows me to get my MadLib on, without having to bother with paper or a pencil. All you need to do is to select a tale from the list, fill in the nouns, verbs, and so on, and click the "See Your Wacky Web Tale" button to see your silly story. And while you do that, you'll be learning the parts of speech, so you can even tell your mom that you're learning something out of it. (Whether she'll believe you is another matter.) The tales are geared for grades 3 and above. Check back monthly for new tales!
