A gentle spark of curiosity-then a lifelong map of wonder. A Catechism Of Familiar Things gathers the stories behind common wonders, turning schoolroom wisdom into a friendly, living guide the whole family can explore. This enlarged and revised edition from Alpha Editions brings Benziger Brothers' late nineteenth century classic into the light of today. It folds together popular science for children with an educational catechism style, presenting historical discovery narratives and clear explanations of natural phenomena in a way that feels both timeless and immediate. The book functions as a reliable school use guide and a companion for home learning, a sturdy illustrated knowledge primer for the curious reader of any age. From the first spark of discovery to the everyday marvels at our doorstep, the volume treats science as a human endeavour-full of character, context, and curiosity. It is a piece of American educational heritage, cherished by families and classrooms for its accessible tone and thoughtful organisation, and valued by classic-literature collectors for its brick¿and¿mortar charm. Selling points lie at the core of this reappearance: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A timeless compendium of home science, wonder, and historical curiosity for the whole reading cohort.
