Review: Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Vol. 3 Posted by Scott R. Garrigus  Back in 1992, George Lucas launched a TV series called The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Unfortunately, back then I was fresh out of college, looking for a job, and didn't have time to watch TV so I never saw the show. My research tells me that it was a show about the exploits of Indy when he was a young kid and then a young man. Along the way it explained how Indy came to later be an adventure-seeking archeologist. It also interspersed a lot of historic references and was meant to be both entertaining and educational.Later, Lucas decided to release the series on DVD, but instead of just transferring the material as-is, he compiled it into a collection of feature-length movies. Volume 1 and Volume 2 were previously released and have garnered good reviews from Indiana Jones fans. The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume Three marks the completion of the collection. Volume 3 consists of no less than 10 DVDs containing 7 feature length (approximately 90 minute) movies along with over 15 hours of special features that explore the world history and historical figures that inspired the adventures of young Indiana Jones.

Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments Posted by Scott R. Garrigus  The appeal of do-it-yourself chemistry has always been one of the most potent recruiting tools science has to offer. From the 1930s through the 1960s, chemistry sets were among the most popular Christmas gifts, selling in the millions. But in 2008, they are a dying breed. DIY hobbyists, students, and science buffs can now turn to Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments: All Lab, No Lecture for hands-on instruction to build their own chemistry sets at home—safely and responsibly.“The decline of chemistry sets has had nothing to do with lack of interest,” explains author Robert Bruce Thompson. “Kids are as enthusiastic as ever, but manufacturers and retailers have become more concerned about liability and lawsuits—and schools are now devoting little time and few resources to science. This guide is meant to celebrate the magic of chemistry—while taking responsible precautions to minimize or eliminate potential risks.” Continue reading: Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments -- New from MAKE in News. - Comments (Reply To Topic) |
