• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A spark of curiosity, a wink of wonder, and a primer on the world that surrounds us. Bill Nye's Cordwood invites readers to explore the everyday through a cheerful, crackling lens of early twentieth century science. This collection, drawn from a public domain collection of essays, presents popular science prose that threads nature, experiment and daily life into a readable guide for amateurs and curious minds alike. It blends science education for readers with accessible reflections on the scientific method, inviting amateur scientists readers to notice, question, and delight in the world around them. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors, it offers a window into United States early twentieth century thought, where American English publication era sensibilities meet enduring questions about how knowledge fits into daily life. Its literary and historical significance lies in its playful approach to science as both inquiry and storytelling, a snapshot of a culture eager to democratise knowledge. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, the volume has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for school library reference, popular science anthologies, science humor collections, and the growing tradition of public-domain science writing. Discover a work that champions science education for readers while honouring a classic, human-scale curiosity.

Autorenporträt

Edgar Wilson Nye was an American comedian, journalist, and columnist who published under the pen name Bill Nye. In the late 1800s, Bill Nye became well-known for his clever and amusing writings. He started his career as a journalist, contributing to a number of newspapers. It was a satirical column he founded called "The Boomerang" in the Laramie Boomerang, a daily published in Wyoming, that gave Nye his first break. As a result of this column's success, Nye gained national exposure and gained popularity as a humourist. Nye, who was well-known for his astute and humorous observations on ordinary life, wrote about a wide range of subjects, such as politics, society, and human nature. In addition, he gave funny lectures and lectured across the country, enhancing his standing as a well-liked comedian. As a trailblazer in American humour writing, Edgar Wilson Nye's writings are still valued for their ageless wit and humorous acumen.
