Take charge of your child's screen time and learn fun lessons in math, science, art, architecture, and game design!Balancing your child's screen time can be difficult, especially when it comes to popular open-ended video games likeMinecraft. The game offers players an exploration, imagination, and creation-focused environment, but its nonlinear game structure can mean spending a lot of time in the game.Minecraft Lab for Kids includes a variety of creative exercises that explore the game's aspects and use them to teach fun, educational lessons.

Investigators of nature use iconic instruments to make visible their objects of study. This book is about a particular piece of equipment which supports the observation of texts--the dictionary. Christian Flow examines some of the most ambitious Latin dictionaries of the last five centuries, ending with the Thesaurus linguae Latinae--a monumental attempt, underway since the 1890s, to write the history of the Latin language from millions of example citations. In this telling, the Thesaurus' foundation is placed in and against a Renaissance tradition that took the lexicon as a tool made for (and by) "observation." It becomes a way of historicizing the enterprise of textual scholars--philologists--to reveal previously unseen features in the relicts of an ancient tongue. Physicians had their case studies; physiologists had their microscopes; astronomers their telescopes. Philologists had their lexica. Philological Observation offers an investigation of visual apprehension centered not on a
