Calculus By Discovery 


 Douglas Downing, ill by Susan Detrich 


 This book tells of adventures that took place in the land of Carmorra. The story is told here because, by following these adventures, you can learn differential and integral calculus. This book includes material suitable for a first-year calculus course. It is designed to be used in a classroom, but it can also be used by someone wishing to learn calculus on his or her own, or as a supplement to a course. This book is unlike regular math books, though. You are invited to read the book as you would read a fantasy novel.

This is a great time of year to purchase so your student can be practicing this Summer!!!

The Artificial World Around Us 


Lucy Kavaler 


drawings by Gloria McKeown 


Have you ever gone to a supermarket and been lured straight to the shelves of packaged cake by the artificial smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns? 

Have you ever been to a used car dealer and been surprised that the second-hand cars smell new? 

Do you know that hardware, automotive parts and machinery can be made out of plastic instead of metal? 

Do you know that diamonds, rubies and emeralds need not come from a mine? 

Do you know that America's favorite ice cream is flavored with wood pulp and many soft drinks owe their sweetness to coal?

 Do you know that you can satisfy your hunger without food? 

The Artificial World Around Us introduces the fascinating world born in a test tube. Some of the discoveries made in the laboratory provide only pleasure or comfort. But most of them serve a real purpose in these times of rapidly expanding population and rapidly diminishing natural resources. 


Published by The John Day Company, 1963. Hard cover, no dust jacket. 125 pages. 


Stamped inside front cover, library pocket inside back cover, a bit of wear to corners. A little discoloration at bottom of spine. But very clean and neat for an ex-library book.
