How I Feel About Books: October 2014
http://www.howifeelaboutbooks.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Montgomery has the perfect approach to this book: he writes to the reader as if they already know everything, yet explains things in ways that build them up to actually. Know everything. Difficult words are spelled out phonetically in parenthesis, and a lot of terms and methods are explained, but not in a way that makes readers feel dumb. Chapters are creatively titled, but not listed in a table of contents. But the knowledge I accrued from reading this book was amazing!

School & Library Events. News & Views. I made two trips to Washington while researching the book. Tracking Trash: Flotsam, Jetsam and the Science of Ocean Motion.
