The Power of 1

The Power of 1

in 1921 a playwright coined the word "robot" for a science fiction play. I learned this fact at a UC Irvine lecture showcasing their center dedicated to stroke rehabilitation with the use of robotics. Credible, incredible stuff. 80 years later, the world had...

BUGS!

BUGS!

Here it is, at last, a brand new book for your shelf! Oh, that's right! In California we don't have bugs, though our small garden could use some help...other than the birds, raccoons, and squirrels helping themselves to our produce. Suggestions anyone? Nook or...
