Baseball + Numbers = Fun & Games




The book's foreword, by William Keat, PhD, professor at Union College on Carlton Chin: "The predictive power of mathematics ... along with his joy of competition, underpins his unique professional journey from predicting material behavior as an engineering student at MIT, predicting human behavior as ... nationally known financial analyst, to predicting athletic performance as author and contributor to the New York Times."

"... numbers and statistics are Carlton's means to a greater understanding of the sports he loves. In my own experience as a teacher of engineering, I know that the converse is also true, that sports can be used to inspire a greater understanding of science and mathematics."

Cover illustration: Julia Chin's rendition of Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ, the birthplace of organized baseball in the 1840s.

New Author: Power Baby's Life Adventures

We are pleased to release a book by a young new author, Julia Chin, who wrote and illustrated "Power Baby's Life Adventures," applies Susan Kovalik's LIFESKILLS (Copyright HET/Kovalik).

We are happy to add this to our growing list of "Teach to Fish" titles which have an educational theme. Here is an excerpt from the Amazon description:


Product Description

Young author Julia Chin creates a world in outer space (Planet Wobniar) with lovable characters (Power Baby and Star Princess) that young children will adore -- and teaches important life lessons and skills. This book is written for children aged 6 to 12, but people of all ages will enjoy the world that the author has created. The short stories combine moments of humor with adventure - and lessons in life, in the style of myths and fables. The book incorporates Susan Kovalik's LIFESKILLS from Ms. Kovalik's Highly Effective Teaching (HET) Model. Our "Teach to Fish" series of books aims to teach a way of thinking. We want our readers to "learn to learn" after enjoying our books. The author and editor are grateful to Susan Kovalik for her LIFESKILLS (Copyright, Susan Kovalik / HET). A portion of the book's proceeds goes to www.PlayItForGood.com and other non-profits.

About the Author

Young writer Julia Chin was fascinated by Susan Kovalik's LIFESKILLS in third grade. She created (and illustrated) adorable characters in this book to demonstrate these LIFESKILLS to other children. This is a child's perspective on the essential skills of life, such as initiative, perseverance and caring. Julia enjoys arts and crafts, skiing, and playing the violin.
