Experiment, learn, and imagine as you make the 20+ bubbling, honking, and illuminating projects in Curious Creatable Creatures. What can a creatable creature do? They stick, spit, glide, and one of them can even double as a wallet. Add a pair of legs, subtract a wheel...the best thing about these creatures is that they're part experiment, part imagination, and 100 percent customizable. Author Sam Haynor draws on his experience with the San Francisco Exploratorium, Oakland Toy Lab, Goldiblocks, and designing STEAM curriculum to create projects packed with features. While, on the outside, most appear to be built completely from common craft materials, they contain springs, circuits, magnets, and much more. The projects are safe and fun for younger kids working with adults, and most of them can be tackled by middle-graders with minimal adult help. This unique project book built for open-ended exploration is perfect for crafternoons, homeschool activities, and parties.

Islam today is one of the biggest challenges Europe is facing, not only because of the security issues caused by Islamic terrorism, but also because of the nonintegration policy of Muslim immigrants and communities, which, in the near future, will entangle European citizens in cultural conflicts within their own societies. Many non-Muslim European citizens and residents are sending the clear message to the Muslim communities that, in a modern twenty-first-century society, their Islamic and sharia way of thinking is unacceptable. Generation after generation, Muslims with their Muslim mentality systematically destroyed their own pre-Islamic cultures and civilizations, converted their countries into cultural wastelands without any hope of progress, all because they were forced or preferred to be Muslim. Massive Muslim immigration and the resulting fast-growing population has already started the same process in Europe and the rest of what we call the free world. We are living in the same Europe where the Renaissance put an end to the Inquisition and the rule of the Church, but today many do not realize that they are opening the way to a fascism called Islam that is many times more violent and inquisitorial than the practices of the medieval Christian Church.

Brought together by an impressive, international array of contributors this book presents a representative study of some of the many misinterpretations that have evolved concerning the medieval period.
