Search for Senna (Everworld, 1)

Book Description

David's life was pretty normal. School. Friends. Girlfriend. Actually, Senna was probably the oddest aspect of his life. She was beautiful. Smart. But there was something very different about her. Something strange. And on the day it began, everything happened so quickly. One moment, Senna was with him. The next, she was swallowed up by the earth. Her screams echoing from far, far away. David couldn't just let her go. Neither could the others. His friends - and hers. So, they followed. And found themselves in a world they never could have imagined. Now they have to find Senna and get home without losing their lives. Or their minds. Or both...

Entertainment reading.......2007-10-04

All of reading need not be the deep and meaningful. There is a place for a series like EverWorld. I read Y.A. & genre novels as another person would watch T.V. The EverWorld series is a bit like an adventure series. The continuing characters keep continuing. Any character growth is painfully slow. But, there is character growth & the books are entertaining.
I chiefly read them in the tub or other high risk locations (bus stop on rainy days).
They are an excellent value, at the price. Cheaper then a comic book and as satisfying. Better then a movie because the action is in my head.

Definite Potential.......2007-06-06

When David, a new kid in town, is beaten up, he thinks his life is lousy. When he first came to town, he started dating a compelling girl, Senna. A friend of Senna's ex-boyfriend Christopher was the one who beat David up. Now he isn't sure how their relationship is going to work out.

David thought that his encounter with Christopher's friend was the worst of his troubles, but then Senna started acting weird. She said she sensed something bad was going to happen, and she asked David to save her if she was right. Never thinking it could actually mean something, David agreed.

The next day, David woke up early, feeling like he needed to go for a run. After he ran through town, he found himself running toward the pier. When he arrived at the pier, he saw he wasn't alone. Senna was there and so were Christopher, his friend Jalil and Senna's half-sister April. Before their eyes, Senna is pulled into some strange vortex. The four others follow her.

Now David, Christopher, Jalil and April are trapped in a universe where gods exist, where Vikings battle Aztecs. Loki, the Norse god of destruction, is looking for Senna, whom he lost when her friends leaped into this world. Loki is calling Senna a witch, and wants her for some purpose.

As if things aren't strange enough, when they sleep David and his friends re-enter their Earth world. Time is passing around them and parts of them still exist there, living out their lives. The trick will be to figure out how to return there for good. But can they leave without Senna? Will David break his promise to save her?

This has potential to be a good series. The characters are interesting and different enough from each other that they each add something to she story. I liked the details of the gods and other characters who exist in this EverWorld. It's a neat combination of history and mythology.

I didn't like the character of David. He is just too good at things for seemingly no reason. He can hold his own with a sword or an oar, against people who are bigger and stronger and have been practicing for years? Doubtful.

What a wonderful book.......2007-01-13

I just finished the first book in the Everworld series and I loved it! I cannot wait to read the next one. It's about 4 teens who get sucked into this other world called Everworld. There they are looking for another friend that was pulled in right before them. While they are looking for her they are also trying to make sense of everything around them, trying to stay alive and find a way home. This book is a very easy read and very fast paced. I totally enjoyed it!

Power of the Star.......2004-05-06

I liked the book Search for the Star by Mary Stanton. It is a wonderful book. I enjoyed the parts of the book which had magic, adventure and fantasy. This book has a unicorn that has magic powers. Also there is a princess who has a magic scepter. She is trying to fight evil.

This is a good book to recommend to readers that like fantasy books. The story is very exciting to read. Throughout the story the characters say and do things that do not make sense at first until later in the book. I look forward to reading the other books in the series to see if they are as good as the 5 book. I hope you read this book and enjoy it as much as I did.

A Fun Read.......2007-05-07

As the mother of three sons, I have had the chance to read a wide variety of children's books. In the past I have enjoyed many of the Lego Bionicle books with my sons and thought we would try the Exo-force books. My two youngest sons absolutely love them and can hardly wait to read the next one that comes out. They read straight through the first three and were very disappointed that they had to wait for the next one. They are constantly reminding me that I should pre-order the next two. I will definitely do so.

One of the best children's books ever.......2007-04-08

My son received this book as a gift when he was about three and it soon became a favorite of both my kids. I was thrilled to be able to order a new copy when his daughter was born (I'd kept the original, which was a larger size, but it's pretty battered). I figured it would be years until she became interested, but she's 22 months old now and it's been her favorite book since she was about 8 months old. The drawings are exceptionally creative and rich with peripheral content that is endlessly fascinating to small people, and each page offers lots of things to talk about with the child. Though not yet two, my grandaughter knows every monster from A-Z, and just loves the idea of little creatures that hide in corners and dance around when no one's looking. I highly recommend this book--and am back buying two more copies for baby gifts.

A Wonderful Mercer Mayer Book.......2007-03-09

I purchased this paperback book for my grandkids after having bought the hard cover for my own children many, many moons ago. This is a wonderful, colorful, lively book for most ages. The older the child, the more of the illustrations you can read. It held my 5-year old twin grandaughters attention beautifully. Personally, I prefer the hard cover edition. The pictures are bigger.

Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-zoo.......2007-03-08

Very funny, exciting and encourages the imagination and sense of humor. The pictures are so much fun. My children and now my grandchildren love this book!

Mercer Mayer's best.......2006-09-01

When my daughters were young, we read this book several times a week. The illustrations are great -- imaginative and detailed. The story is cute enough for kids, and fun for adults to read as well. I am purchasing several copies for great nieces and nephews as well as for an expected grandchild.

Wonderful, Charming Book!.......2006-04-30

This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. As I got older, it was passed on to my sibilings, and when I worked with children, they all loved it. This book has it all: humor, adventure, great storytelling, and memorable characters.

If you are looking for a whimsical, fun book that's good for the whole family, this is it.

(If you're one of us, too, that's in your twenties and still getting a smile when you read of the adventures of Professor Wormbog... don't worry, I won't tell anybody.)

Book Description

"Every breath you take contains atoms forged in the blistering furnaces deep inside stars. Every flower you pick contains atoms blasted into space by stellar explosions that blazed brighter than a billion suns." Thus begins The Magic Furnace, an eloquent, extraordinary account of how scientists unraveled the mystery of atoms, and helped to explain the dawn of life itself. The historic search for atoms and their stellar origins is truly one of the greatest detective stories of science. In effect, it offers two epics intertwined: the birth of atoms in the Big Bang and the evolution of stars and how they work. Neither could be told without the other, for the stars contain the key to unlocking the secret of atoms, and the atoms the solution to the secret of the stars. Marcus Chown leads readers through the major theories and experiments that propelled the search for atomic understanding, with engaging characterizations of the major atomic thinkers-from Democritus in ancient Greece to Binning and Rohrer in twentieth-century New York. He clarifies the science, explaining with enthusiasm the sequence of breakthroughs that proved the existence of atoms as the "alphabet of nature" and the discovery of subatomic particles and atomic energy potential. From there, he engagingly chronicles the leaps of insight that eventually revealed the elements, the universe, our world, and ourselves to be a product of two ultimate furnaces: the explosion of the Big Bang and the interior of stars such as supernovae and red giants. Chown successfully makes these massive concepts accessible for students, professionals, and science enthusiasts. His story sheds light on all of us, for in essence, we are all stardust.

this book rocks.......2004-02-27

This book is just completely the most incredible science book I have ever read. I could not put it down, and believe me, I can put down a LOT of books that other people say they can't put down. Totally inspiring, exciting. It's not like reading a book, it's like travelling in a time machine. You're not reading about the discovery of the electron, you're there in that dark laboratory with J.J. Thomson and his glowing cathode ray tubes.

Captivating, informative, demanding, but highly readable.......2002-10-29

The title is an allusion to the dream of the alchemists of old who sought a magic kiln in which to transform base metals into gold. That dream remained intact until the discovery in the twentieth century of how the elements are actually built up from hydrogen and exactly what kind of "magic furnace" would be required to turn base metals into gold. In a most engaging narrative, science writer Marcus Chown tells that fascinating story through the lives and ideas of the scientists who made the discoveries.

Chown begins, as one must, with the Greeks and Democritus who opined, "...in reality there are only atoms and the void." Chown shows how it was impossible for the Greeks without the scientific method to go any further than Democritus's intuition. But Chown does not dwell on the alchemy but ratchets us directly to modern science and the growing realization that "Atoms Are Not the Smallest Things" (Chapter Two), and that therefore "it must be possible to transform an atom of one element into an atom of another." (p. 21)

And with that, the race was on to account for how hydrogen became helium which became, through crucibles unimaginable to man, carbon, iron and eventually the heaviest elements. The story culminates in the work of Fred Hoyle, Margaret and Geoffrey Burbidge, and Willy Fowler who explained the nuclear processes operating inside stars and supernovae. Chown finishes with a chapter on the discovery of the cosmic background radiation, the "afterglow of creation" which confirmed how helium was manufactured in the Big Bang, and a chapter on how the elements are strewn into space and end up in Population I stars and eventually in our bodies. There is a Glossary and a Selected Bibliography.

The value of this book lies not only in the fascinating story told but in the magical way that Chown is able to painlessly teach us a little chemistry and physics along the way. I learned more about the nature of atoms and the various forces in nature in these pages, almost incidentally, than I have in any other single book. So intrigued was I in learning more that I turned to the Periodic Table of the Elements as I read the text.

But Chown's style is not didactic. Instead he illuminates the personalities and the flow of ideas. We see Marie Currie with her radiation swollen fingers and Fred Hoyle truant at the back of the local cinema teaching himself to read. We see how the vision of meteorites falling into the sun became the vision of the sun falling in upon itself, shrinking and, as the elements got closer and closer together, heating up, and how that idea coursed after some meandering into the discovery of atomic energy. But perhaps the most beautiful "turn" (as in a poetic change of perception, as in a sonnet) in the book is on page 107 where Chown's writes about the sameness of all the atoms of an element, and then suddenly asks, thinking about the mysterious behavior evidenced by the phenomenon of the half-life: "How could radium atoms all be the same yet behave differently?" This question leads to the uncertainty principle and quantum mechanics.

There is an implicit sense of warning in the book about the limitations of humans doing science. Thus the American geologist Thomas Chamberlain is quoted on page 54 as saying, "There is perhaps no beguilement more insidious and dangerous than an elaborate and elegant mathematical process built upon unfortified premises." He was critiquing Lord Kelvin, but might his words not apply to more recent theories, such as that of one-dimensional strings? And on page 65 it is recounted that Auguste Comte "deemed it self-evident that we would never be able to study" the chemical composition of the stars. Two years after his death in 1857 thanks to the unlikely technique of spectroscopy we were doing just that. Indeed, as Chown reports on page 67, helium was discovered on the sun through a reading of its spectrum before it was discovered on the earth! By the way, Chown's material on spectroscopy is fascinating and helped me to a better understanding of how the process works and how the black lines in spectrums of light reveal the composition of the stars.

Chown has the ability to engage the reader in scientific ideas, perhaps in part because of the unique way he sometimes puts things. For example on page 79 he writes about the resistance encountered by an object as it approached the speed of light. He states, "The only conceivable source of such resistance was a body's mass." However, what I thought was, mass cannot find resistance by itself. There must be something in the very fabric of spacetime that is providing the resistance. It is not enough to posit "inertia" since that really explains nothing. I believe there is still something fundamental that we do not understand about the relationship between the speed of light and the nature of matter and energy.

Chown sometimes uses the language and assumptions of the times he is writing about. For example on page 96 he speaks of "the electrons which flitted about an atomic nucleus like planets round the sun," an analogy now considered somewhat misleading (a "cloud" is preferred, I believe), but in recalling it, we are again forced to imagine what an atom might look like if we could somehow "see" it.

Most amusing story: Austrian physicist Fritz Houtermans making up dreams to tell Sigmund Freud! (p. 110)

Best stream of consciousness leading to insight: Fred Hoyle musing on the atomic bomb project about which he had only second-hand and circumstantial evidence. (pp. 159-160)

Best speculation: In answer to "Where are they?", Fermi's famous question about extra-terrestrials, Chown proposes that they came and went long before the sun even shone. (p. 215)

Outstanding.......2002-08-05

Probably the clearest exposition of the history of modern nuclear physics. In addition, he ponders some of the great philisophical questions in a realistic way.

I'd recommend it to anyone interested in what we're all actually made of.

A Glowing Account.......2002-04-19

I have owned a copy of this book for some time before I got around to reading. And when I did I could not put it down. Marcus Chown spins an enthralling historical account of how we learned about the cosmic synthesis of elements.

My favorite account is about Fred Hoyle's pursuit to solve the riddle of how carbon - the stuff of life - was manufactured in the bowls of stars. The problem was that the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen to heavier elements could not bridge the gap from beryllium-8 to carbon-12. But Hoyle knew it had to happen because humans existed!

We are carbon-based beings and Hoyle argued that after two helium-4 atoms fused to beryllium-8, a third helium-4 quickly fused to give carbon-12. He calculated that in the bowls of a red giant star the energies of beryllium-8 and helium-4 matched a resonance energy that produced carbon-12. Tests by Willy Fowler confirmed Hoyle's prediction: carbon-12 has indeed the predicted energy resonance! Never, according to Chown, has an anthropic argument been used to make a scientific prediction.

When you start reading this book, make sure you have no other pressing engagements. You won't want to stop reading. Chown has a wonderful, lucid style.

All science should be taught like this!.......2001-07-30

Marcus Chown is an incredibly gifted author. He somehow manages to impart (what could otherwise have been hard boring facts) into a compelling and passionate account of man's unquenchable thirst for knowledge - and in particular the search for the atom. From the very first page, the reader is gripped and taken on an incredible journey, back through time as we follow early scientists in their sometimes heartbreaking endeavours to discover the atom. Marcus Chown has the ability to make science appealing and enormously exciting. Readers will not be intimidated (nor patronised) by the subject matter, instead they will be left wanting more. This book lends itself brilliantly to either a television documentary or indeed a drama serialisation where it can reach an even wider audience. More please, Mr. Chown!

I HIGHLY recommend all of the DROON series!.......2006-03-16

So far, my son and I have read most of the series and he always is eager to start the next book. Great in between series for kids that are younger but like a story with kids who beat the bad guys, save the day and have the magic and excitement without being too scary. I'd recommend it for any kids 8 to 10 or so and probably both boys and girls would enjoy the series since there are both boys and girls as characters, equally saving the day!

Search for the Dragon Ship.......2003-09-03

This book Search for the Dragon Ship by Tony Abbott is certainly one of the best Secrets of Droon books. There's more action, mystery, and adventure. The best part of this book to me is when Eric, Neal, Julie, find princess Salamandra. The part where there's the most action. The pictures are sketched nicely and the cover drawing is exellent. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because when you're reading from the start of the book, and finishing it all you do is just go around in circles. First check it out at the library, and if you like it, then buy it.

A fun book.......2003-04-25

This was a fun book, and if I had read it before reading King Fortis the Brave I might have given it five stars. But because I read it after finishing King Fortis, which was superior in many ways, the best I could do was four.

Umm.... Yeah.......2004-07-03

After reading some of the other tales and short stories, I found this boring. Like others have said, there are only a few stories about the search for magic and the use of the magical items, well, ones that had power left in them anyway. i found it dissappointing. I've read better

Not bad.......2002-03-22

I was hoping for more,but it was pretty good though.Leaves you with questions,but alright.Try it, you will enjoy it.

Decent but a tad disappointing.......2001-11-01

I picked up this book expecting a bunch of stories about well, the search for magic, but instead they're only a handful and the other stories are about kender and gnomes (which isnt necassarily a bad thing).
But the stories themselves are decent enough and the gnome stories, as always, are hilarious.
I would recommend this only to dragonlance fans.
