This is the weekly informative posting by the Exploratorium Learning Studio.

Not much this week. Rather than have you read again as to how busy I am
I'll just go straight to the content.

PRINTED, NEW ACQUISITIONS:

Uncle Tungsten : memories of a chemical boyhood / Oliver Sacks.
General collection circ.
RC 339.52 .S23 A3 2001

A memoir of a childhood spent experimenting and playing with science. But
playing with science guided by a variety of relatives who also delighted in
science. Stinks, bangs, flashes, the weight of metals. This book has a way
of reminding us of the sensory aspects of learning.
