Lady Di of Ameter, Sir Cumference, and Reginald Patron, the Earl of Fracton, visit the local faire, where they learn about fractions through the sale of cheese, cloth, and stolen merchandise. Concepts such as denominators, numerators, and equivalents are clearly explained through interactions with the various merchants. Some text is in dialogue balloons, for instance, during the puppet show and as the thieves search for fractions. The text uses several different terms to reinforce the concepts of fractions in spoken language. The soft, muted, color sketches are detailed and vary in size. Fractions are scattered throughout the illustrations. The white wax on yellow cloth used to show numerators and denominators makes the text a bit hard to read. The use of the word fracton, instead of the proper spelling, detracts from the math lesson. VERDICT Suitable for all libraries, this is a fun little math adventure that introduces the basics of fractions to early elementary audiences.--School Library Journal

“This book sets out to teach the reader to be a successful problem-solver and to be able to produce our own mathematical proofs. In a carefully designed and well-documented journey we are taken through a wide variety of problems … . This is a very clear and helpful book. It would be a useful addition to every teacher’s repertoire and a very helpful source of interesting problems to share with students at all levels.” (Peter Hall, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 103 (557), July, 2019)“Exploring Mathematics can be used as an introduction to mathematical problem-solving, but may be better used as a supplement. I personally found that this systematic review of mathematical topics was refreshing, helping to fill gaps in my problem-solving toolkit. The reader may find it beneficial to use the book to review the fundamentals and enrich their problem-solving knowledge.” (Jack Chen, MAA Reviews, January, 2019)​

“Dr. Fleisher and Dr. Morgan have provided a good look at ALL possible causes of a sexless marriage. They are right—without obtaining the proper diagnosis, the treatment for the sexless marriage may ultimately fail.”—Laurie Betito, Ph.D. Psychologist/sex therapist/radio host of Passion, CJAD 800, President of Sexual Health Network of Quebec, and author of The Sex Bible for People Over 50

Rescuing a Sexless Marriage and Making It All It Can Be Using This Empowering Integrative Approach

The Sexless Marriage Fix

Insects are cool, and they should rule the world. At least that&rsquo;s what this book aims to have readers believing by the end. Almost a million species have been identified&mdash;a number that barely scratches the surface. The text gives a general overview of various topics, including body structure, life cycle, eating habits, and contributions to the environment. It also highlights perennial favorites, such as beetles. Collard clearly loves insects, and his enthusiasm carries the work. Readers will appreciate the conversational tone and humorous descriptions. The photographs are gorgeous, such as the full-page, up-close image of the creepy tiger swallowtail butterfly caterpillar. Aside from websites of conservation groups that protect the habitats of insects, the back matter doesn&rsquo;t list resources or recommendations for further reading. As the text states, it&rsquo;s up to students to ask a librarian for help, search online, or simply go outside and observe insects. However, it probably wouldn&rsquo;t have hurt to have double-checked the title&rsquo;s own sources; for example, some educators might take issue with a segment of text that reports that a butterfly comes out of a cocoon rather than a chrysalis. VERDICT For kids who love creepy-crawlies, but not a first choice for research projects.&mdash;School Library JournalThe straight, more or less, "poop" on dung beetles, dragonflies ("fighter jets of the insect world"), and the rest of our six-legged overlords.  Aside from making debatable claims that insects are "the dominant life-form on Earth today" and "the true rulers of our planet," Collard delivers airy but persuasive evidence that beetles are "da bomb!"&mdash;and likewise all their teeming relatives. After noting that insect species alone outnumber comic-book superheroes (for instance) by approximately 1,000 to one, he offers a history of this ancient clan, overviews of insect body parts, diet, reproductive practices, mimicry, and other general features, as well as ups and downs in our complex relationship with them. Examples, nearly all alive and in natural settings, pose in photogenic splendor in the sheaves of bright color close-ups, all but a handful by the author himself. And if Collard declines to supply leads to further information ("You are all smart. You know how to go to the library"), he does close with notes on scientific nomenclature plus a list of rain-forest conservation groups. A lighthearted invitation to join the insect-appreciation club: "Righteous exoskeleton, dude!"&mdash;Kirkus ReviewsLeading off with the astonishing success of insect species, which far outnumber other animals groups on earth, Collard shows the data and explains the factors that have made insects so predominant. After discussing their body structures, communication, reproduction, life cycles, and defenses, he takes a closer look at social insects and at beetles, the largest group of insect species. Sidebars cover such topics as how insects breathe, and the closing pages consider the impact of insects on people, agriculture, and ecosystems as well as how kids can help them. Covering a good deal of material, the text often brings in specific examples and amazing factoids related to the general principles. Collard&rsquo;s disarming use of tongue-in-cheek humor keeps the tone light and engaging. Appearing on nearly every page, the clear, color photos are well chosen to illustrate elements in the text. Readers who enjoyed Sneed B. Collard III&rsquo;s Most Fun Book Ever about Lizards (2012) will appreciate this informative, kid-friendly introduction to insects.&mdash;Booklist
