The authors devise games, including a baseball simulation game in the style of Strat-O-Matic & APBA Baseball - complete in this book. The book's foreword, by William Keat, PhD, professor at Union College on Carlton Chin: "The predictive power of mathematics ... along with his joy of competition, underpins his unique professional journey from predicting material behavior as an engineering student at MIT, predicting human behavior as ... nationally known financial analyst, to predicting athletic performance as author and contributor to the New York Times." "An athlete is his own right, numbers and statistics are Carlton's means to a greater understanding of the sports he loves. In my own experience as a teacher of engineering, I know that the converse is also true, that sports can be used to inspire a greater understanding of science and mathematics." Cover illustration: Julia Chin's rendition of Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ, the birthplace of organized baseball in the 1840s.

Young author Samantha Huang works with her cousin, Julia Chin, in this book, the first of their "Cousins' Book Club" series. The Nina Nasturtium stories are very creative in the way they introduce concepts of science. In particular, Nina has some wild adventures that allow her to describe concepts of biology - such as the parts of a cell, the human body, and different muscles - in fun and interesting ways. This book is written for children aged 8 to 15, but people of all ages will enjoy the creativity and educational quality of this book. One of the goals of our "Teach to Fish" series of books is to keep education and learning "fun."
