The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. T he Rev. Charles Dodgson surely loved Alice Liddell. He was a grown man -- she, a little girl. There was no hint of impropriety. I use the word love in a way we've forgotten how to use it. And Dodgson spoke his feelings not to her but to you and me. You see, Dodgson's pen name was Lewis Carroll. In Through the Looking Glass , he wrote to Alice: Child of the pure unclouded brow And Dreaming eyes of wonder. Then he took Alice Liddell into a Wonderland of his own devising.

Ever since 1972, when HarperCollins first published Science Experiments You Can Eat , Cobb's lighthearted approach to hands-on science has become her trademark for getting kids involved in experiences that create real learning. Currently, she is becoming increasingly popular as a speaker to children and adults as educators search out sources for materials and activities that promote learning. Today's popular buzz words in education--"whole language," "hands-on-science," "experimental learning," "out-come based," "multi-disciplinary" and critical thinking" are embodied in Vicki Cobb's work.

Frank Baum created the fairylands of Oz and all its wonderful inhabitants, the magical and the humbugs, the charming and charmed, the merry and the mischevious. He was followed as the Royal Historian of Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson. W. W. Denslow illustrated the first and most well-know book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , but the subsequent books by Baum and Thompson were illustrated by John R. Neill.

Edwards When I went through university in the '70s, I intended to become a newspaper reporter but my career didn't work out the way I planned it. By the time I graduated from journalism school, many of Canada's largest papers had closed down, so instead of reporting, I took a job working on a geographic magazine in Ottawa, even though I knew little about geography or science. That is when I discovered that if I worked hard enough I could learn just about anything and even find ways to explain it to other people. I spent three years editing stories by professional geologists, geographers and biologists, but in 1978, I left that job and moved to the country. That was the year I convinced a rural magazine called Harrowsmith to hire me as an editor.

At an early age, Louisa and her family moved to Boston, Massachusetts where her father pursued his teaching career by setting up the Temple School. Bronson Alcott was well known for his controversial teaching methods which relied more on student involvement and a belief that children should enjoy learning. In 1840 the family moved to Concord where prominent American author and close friend of the Alcott's, Ralph Waldo Emerson, helped the family to set up residence. Louisa enjoyed the county atmosphere of Concord and found her time divided between acting out plays with her sisters wh Read More Go to Site Louisa May Alcott Votes:0 Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Louisa May Alcott is best known for her creation of the classic work "Little Women" , the story of four sisters growing up in a New England town during the mid 1800s. Alcott's father, Bronson, was a philosopher and educational reformer whose idealistic projects kept the family in poverty; financial security did not come until "Little Women". However, the Alcott family was rich in their friends, which included such noted figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Like her father, Alcott practiced her beliefs, working for the right of women to vote and for the temperance (anti-drinking) movement. The March sisters--Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy-- have been immortalized in the movies as well; the most famous "Jo" was Katherine Hepburn.
