Have you ever wondered what makes a kite fly or a boat float? Have you ever thought about why snowflakes are symmetrical, or why golf balls have dimples? Have you ever tried to make a kaleidoscope or build a pair of stilts? In Calling All Minds, Temple Grandin explores the ideas behind all of those questions and more. She delves into the science behind inventions, the steps various people took to create and improve upon ideas as they evolved, and the ways in which young inventors can continue to think about and understand what it means to tinker, to fiddle, and to innovate.

Wer sich mit Einstein in einen Fahrstuhl begibt, lernt nicht nur den berühmtesten Physiker aller Zeiten kennen, sondern erlebt auch ungeahnte Abenteuer: Angenommen, das Seil des Fahrstuhls reißt. Dann zeigt eine Waage, auf der beide vielleicht stehen, nichts mehr an! Können sie dann überhaupt wissen, dass sie wirklich nach unten fallen und nicht etwa schwerelos im All schweben? Mit Experimenten und Versuchen zum Ausprobieren werden die Hörer anschaulich in die Grundlagen der Mechanik eingeführt.

Even when he was a kid, Albert Einstein did things his own way. He thought in pictures instead of words, and his special way of thinking helped him understand big ideas like the structure of music and why a compass always points north. Those ideas made him want to keep figuring out the secrets of the universe. Other people thought he was just a dreamer, but because of his curiosity, Einstein grew up to be one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known.

Examines wedges, explains their functions, and suggests simple experiments to demonstrate how they work.

Do you like to gaze at the stars? So did the young Stephen Hawking. Eventually, he turned his fascination with the night sky into a career of trying to figure out how the universe began and how it works. As a child, Hawking loved the stars and he loved math class. In college, he studied physics and cosmology, or how the universe came to be. But then he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that shuts down the nerves that control muscles.
