Our Own Devices: How Technology Remakes Humanity
This delightful and instructive history of invention shows why National Public Radio dubbed Tenner "the philosopher of everyday technology." Looking at how our inventions have impacted our world in ways we never intended or imagined, he shows that the things we create have a tendency to bounce back and change us.
The reclining chair, originally designed for brief, healthful relaxation, has become the very symbol of obesity. The helmet, invented for military purposes, has made possible new sports like mountain biking and rollerblading. The typewriter, created to make business run more smoothly, has resulted in wide-spread vision problems, which in turn have made people more reliant on another invention--eyeglasses. As he sheds light on the many ways inventions surprise and renew us, Tenner considers where technology will take us in the future, and what we can expect from the devices that we no longer seem able to live without.

Sea Monsters Don't Ride Motorcycles by Debbie Dadey, ISBN 0439044014
There are some pretty weird grown-ups living in Bailey City. But is the winning rider at the motorcycle races really a sea monster?
The Bailey School Kids are going to find out!
Howie ran his hand through his hair and gulped. "What would happen if a sea monster and the Loch Ness Monster clashed right here on Sheldon Beach?"
Eddie sat back down on the sofa and laughed. "That would be great. Maybe we could get front row tickets".
Howie rolled his eyes. "Will you stop fooling around? I'm serious".
"This is no place to be serious", Eddie told his friend. "We're at the beach. We're supposed to have a good time".
"That's right", Melody agreed.
"After all", Liza added, "sea monsters don't ride motorcycles".
