Watered-Down Electricity - Comments and Reviews on the book

"Watered-Down Electricity" (see page bottom for site guides) Publication on the fundamentals of Electricity Reviews and Comments

This book is a must for all those who are fasinated with our wonderful world of Science and how it works. I love this book. As a parent as well as a high school science teacher, this book is priceless. I have learned over the years that children learn faster when they are learning with a sense of humor combined with facts. This book combines both beautifully. It is a must for every educator and parent who wants their children to know about the wonderful world of science and wants to help unfold the mysteries underneath the why's. - Laurie Emerson, Biloxi, Mississippi

Just wanted to let you know the book arrived yesterday. It's great! My son has had us reading it every since it came - he loves it! I will continue to let my friends and family know about the book and your website. Thanks again! Robyn Hoelker-Wright, St Charles, MO

My 12 year old loved it. His 10 year old brother is now reading it. Maybe their mother will take an interest as well? Kudo's! Steve Spence - owner, webconx.com

I think it's great to introduce kids to electricity! My father is an electrician and what was a mystery to my friends was simply explained to me. - Aletta Sumter, Manistique, MI

I received your book yesterday and I sat right down and started to read it to my children. Not only is this a wonderful book for the kids, but it taught me some things that I never knew in a very easily understood way. What a great idea for a book, especially so that I can explain to my children about its usage! With 3 kids and an all electric home, we try to be good about it BUT if I could explain (and understand myself) how electricity works it would help understand why I keep saying SHUT THAT LIGHT OFF! The web site is great, with just the right amount of graphics and information that I need.

Thank you so much! - Tami Barrett, Bradford, PA
I think it was a wonderful idea to publish this book. It is very helpful in research for science projects and reports. ~ Cait Batgurl@yahoo.com
I'm a confused student of physics. I am glad to see there are books out there that break down information. I have a love of learning in many fields, physics being on of them. Yet the complexity of certain areas make it very discouraging to those interested. Do you write any other books? ~ Glenn Tomas@alltel.net
Thank you for the book - I thought it was soooo good I took it into work (I work in a school library) and they liked it too. I will contact you if we are ordering more copies, and I dare say the library staff upon reading it, may recommend it! Thank you again, [and] good luck in the future. ~ Sincerely, Shelley Ditterich
I liked my copy so much I have ordered one for a good friend. Thanks! ~ Christopher J. Pida
"Watered-Down Electricity by John Austin Fife teaches many concepts and terms about electricity using a simple dialog and takes a humourous approach to the subject. Any of these resources would be excellent to use..." D.I. Block, Penn State University

Aloha, My staff and I appreciate that you sent a copy to us and have had an opportunity to review your book. We found it to have very simple, understandable explanations about the basic principles of electricity and energy. It is a good resource for educators. Liane Lum, our Coordinator, will follow up with you regarding ordering a few copies for our Lending Library. Mahalo,
