Making the Play

“Do you think about science when you play baseball?
Probably not. But you use science anyway.” In sports,
Making the Play involves more than athletic skill—it’s all
possible because of physics! Linking scientific concepts such
as momentum and launch angle to actions common to each
sport, this new series unveils the unseen world of forces at
work behind each bat, ball, or club. High-contrast design
and relatable images of people at play provide a colorful
backdrop to each high-interest title.

The world of secret agents and covert operations captures the
imagination—but what do we really know about spies? I Spy uncovers
basic details of four countries’ main espionage agencies, charting their
origins, agents’ training, and common tools. Famous (or infamous)
double agents, moles, and other spies are featured as the text
emphasizes that a spy’s work is never done. Each book taps the reader’s

out at home.
