305 books4 followersLibrarian Note: There are more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
John R. Sharp worked as a linguist and analyst for the U.S. Government for over 40 years, teaching and writing curricula for Modern Standard Arabic and several Arabic dialects. During his studies in Cairo, he became fascinated with Egyptology and the ancient Egyptian language, but was frustrated at not finding a good, searchable index of pharaohs' cartouches (name rings), so he decided to make one himself, a project that took several decades. He lives in Hawaii.

Very straightforward and written in a way that us mere humans of average intellect can understand. Good links to the different areas within science with little examples, research notes and reflection questions scattered throughout to consolidate information.
Aware that this is purely a science book but it is written very much from a discrete subject angle and I was a little surprised at being advised to use ICT to cover the areas that could nicely link in some useful maths work - and if planned so that the science and maths timeslots are together then the overlap of the two areas wouldn't mean a reduced amount of time analysing graphs and coming up with possible conclusions.
An excellent subject book but would have liked to have seen more cross-curricula links.
