Inspired by her popular Wild Thing podcast, journalist Laura Krantz incorporates the scientific method and her journalistic skills to determine if magic might be real in Do You Believe in Magic?Magic—spells and curses, hexes and potions, superstition, and rituals. We’ve all heard stories of alchemists attempting to turn abundant lead into precious, rare gold. Or of poor, unfortunate souls asking potion masters to brew up unappetizing concoctions that will help them find love. And of course, we’re familiar with curses—muttering magical words for the purposes of exacting revenge on an enemy, or protecting a hidden treasure.Who wouldn’t like the idea of special powers, or control over the natural world? It seems pretty fun, even if it’s just the stuff of fantasy books and movies. But a lot of what we call “magic” has grounding in real practices. In fact, magic is at the root of many scientific fields—from chemistry to botany to astronomy—and has been an important part of human culture for thousands of years.Do You Believe in Magic? takes readers through a world where magic and science collide. What do they have in common? Where do they differ? What role has magic played in our history, and the history of science? Why is magic still significant, even when it doesn’t seem to line up with reality? And is it possible to be scientifically minded and still believe in magic? Readers are encouraged to weigh the facts and go beyond their gut assumptions, to stretch their imaginations and think about why magic and science might be two sides of the same coin.Includes color illustrations, an at-home science/magic experiment, glossary, bibliography, and index A Wild Thing series:The Search for Sasquatch Is There Anybody Out There?

"In the mid-nineteenth century, most women who weren't raising families became teachers or nurses. But Clara Driscoll longed to be an artist, drawing inspiration from nature: from every flower, weed, dragonfly, and even cobweb on her family's farm. After moving to New York City in 1888, Clara was hired at the renowned Tiffany Glass Company, where Mr. Louis Comfort Tiffany was known for creating gorgeous stained-glass windows for churches, theaters, and libraries. Impressed by her talent at choosing and cutting glass, Mr. Tiffany eventually put Clara in charge of her own staff of thirty-five women designers. These "Tiffany Girls" sketched intricate patterns, chose dazzling colors and precise shapes, and carefully soldered and placed each piece of glass to create stunning lamps, murals, windows, vases, and clocks. Yet their names weren't always credited on the finished pieces, and when Clara designed the "Wisteria" lamp that would become Tiffany Studios' most famous, everyone assumed that Mr. Tiffany had designed it. Today, Clara Driscoll 's work lives on in museums, galleries, and private collections around the world, including hundreds of pieces housed by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Written by award-winning kids' nonfiction author Susan Goldman Rubin and radiantly illustrated by Susanna Chapman, Dragonflies of Glass celebrates the innovation, determination, and ambition of the unsung women behind many of Tiffany Studios' masterpieces. Includes a list of places where Driscoll's Tiffany art can be found; examples of Driscoll's Tiffany lamps and archival photographs; endnotes; and a bibliography"--
