... that would last them the rest of their lives, instead of something guaranteed to be obselete in 5? I'd love to see what./ers think would be appropriately useful books. In others words, what 10 books would be the most important to the educational and social growth of a 2nd grader?
1. Basic mathematics (algebra/trig/geometry) 2. Basic physics 3. American history 4. World history 5. Basics foreign language (maybe teaching simple stuff from the top 5 most used languages) 6. How to manage you finances (saving/buying houses, cars, investing money/stocks/bonds, how to calculate loan rates, credit card rates, etc.) 7. Basic biology (plants, animals, species/genres, amoebas, yada yada) 8. Catalog of important literature grouped in various ways, useful for researching 9. I'm out of ideas 10. Subscription to a global newspaper *shrug*
Let's hope that the Gorgio Armani suits in his 2010 line come complete with internally stitched Farady cages.
The bubble wrap body suit phase didn't quite catch on, but giant metal cages? That's gonna be a hit!
Looks to me as if the eyes were taken straight from the top National Geographic magazine cover (http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/afghangir l/).
You can't help but stare at those eyes for a few seconds... very captivating.
