Lindo, finalmente vou aprender físicaa
Amei o livro, vou usar pra aprender física. Além de mostrar como tudo funciona, ele é dividido em áreas da Física, como alavanca, engrenagens, erc, e relaciona equipamentos que parecem super diferentes (por exemplo, um abridor de garrafas e uma catapulta... sei lá kkkk ainda nao li, só xeretei), e mostra como usam o mesmo princípio da física pra diminuir a força aplicada e realizar o mesmo trabalho... Só não dei 5 estrelas porque adoraria ver imagens reais, e não desenhos, porque vou usar pra ensinar meus filhos e com desenhos fica mais difícil eles perceberem do que se trata. Por exemplo, um desenho em zoom de um grampeador é super legal, mas pros pequenos não é muito claro...

Great family read.
Present for 9yo. Of great interest to whole family when left out to flick through. Family talk together as they see how things work. There a loose paper cover which unfortunately gets folded constantly as it falls off...

Fun for young teens! and anyone else with a curious mind :)
I was looking for a gift for a young teen and this caught my eye. It has all sorts of info on all sorts of things and is interesting to all ages from what I've experienced. The recipient was more thrilled with this book than I expected and he said he'd been wanting a book like this, so it was a win! It's just a cool, informative, entertaining book and a great gift! The quality is excellent as well.
