Birdscapes: A Pop-Up Celebration of Bird Songs in Stereo Sound by Miyoko Chu, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Julia Hargreaves
1 recommendation
"All winter long as I run through various areas, some relatively wild, others more populated, I notice the literal sound of silence. I finally realized: it is the lack of birds. So, when a robin hopped by me the other day, I knew we were finally in for a bit of a reprieve and spring was on its way. This book celebrates that wonderful orchestra, unique to each region of the world, that birds crea..."
Barnes & Noble: Mad about Animals - Mad Libs Series by Roger Price
1 recommendation
"Although Mad Libs are a somewhat sneaky way to get your kids to bone up on their parts of speech, they also happen to be laugh-unti-you-cry hysterical good fun. And this new addition to the series will give both you and your kids a chance to bone up on your animal knowledge . . . perhaps even inspiring a nature hike or two (whilst collecting garbage and photos along the way, of course.)"
Workman Publishing: The Dirt-Cheap Green Thumb by Rhonda Massingham Hart
1 recommendation
"Since my thumb is decidedly purple, I absolutely require a guide to even consider starting my own garden. Doing it on the cheap makes it all the more appealing - particularly in the event that I end up growing some inedible monstrosities."

3b Scientific - Skeleton Stan
1 recommendation
"You don't have to look away! I promise, no more organs or stuff. But I have an idea for a list, :D which is why I'm posting this. 3B Scientific is one of those top-quality German brands, you know, where everything is made to the most exacting standards (I imagine an assembly line with caliper armed workers, and the running joke is making fun of the guy who was .0001 mm off on a model, that one..."

Bacteria Growth Kit
1 recommendation
"Ok, yes, thinkgeek.com is selling a bacterial growth kit as well. But this one's better. See, besides the petri dishes and growing material (nutrient broth) this kit also has 5 sterile swabs, iodine and alcohol. The swabs are great 'cause you can swab anything (including you) with safety and know that whatever grows on the plate was what you sampled - not already on the swab. Ok, so I'm a stick..."

"DNA sequencing tends to get done by core facilities at most institutions, but if you're in the New York/New Jersey area and you need sequencing done, you couldn't do better than Genewiz. You give them miniprep quality DNA and they give you sequence. Results are emailed to you quickly and even on Saturdays.

Biologists for Obama bumper sticker
1 recommendation
"The Biologists for Obama bumper sticker has the benefit of alliteration, implanting a memory within the brain that is not soon lost. Substantively, the point is that scientists have suffered so severely under George W. Bush's disdain for science that they are eager for a return to normalcy under Barack Obama."
Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
3 recommendations
"The concept of this book is quite ambitious, but well done. A thought provoking socio- anthropological account of how the many nations and people of the world got to be where they are today."

Biology: A Textbook
1 recommendation
"I wouldn't normally recommend an academic textbook. But when a book is this well presented, I can't pass it up. Biology is the study of life, and how we (and our animal friends) work is simply fascinating. This book gets an A+ from me for its easy, non-technical language and wonderfully informative illustrations. The included CD and website provide incredible animations that really let you see how..."
Yellow Ibis Science t-shirts
1 recommendation
"There are a number of science t-shirts you can get out there. "Talk nerdy to me" and "I [heart] my geek." and so on. Yellow Ibis has shirts that say things like "I [three neck flask] chemistry" and a skull and crossbones with the crossbones replaced by pipetors, and this really cool glow in the dark benzene ring. Or for the geologist in your life, "I date rocks." Or for a more all purpose shi..."
