New Releases by Bill Nye

Did you know that we can explore the deepest regions of outer space, but that our own ocean still holds most of its secrets? The ocean, which makes up an impressive 71% of our planet, is still a relatively unexplored area of science. Fascinating facts like these make Bill Nye the Science Guy''s Big Blue Ocean a compelling and essential read for young science fans.

Although Bill Nye (1850-1896) was America''s best known humorist in the late 1880''s and early 1890''s, his work is little known today--his books long out of print and his columns yellowing in newspaper files. Now T. A. Larson, a dyed-in-the-wool Nye fan for more than thirty years, has assembled the best of Bill Nye''s work, most of it dating from the seven Wyoming years when Nye made his name. The selections are chosen from Laramie, Cheyenne, and Denver newspapers and from six books published in the 1890''s. The resulting collection is both good fun and a valuable picture of a lively period.

A humorous and exaggerated look at the skills and background needed for effective journalists.
