Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Summary: A celebration for graduates of all ages.
Review: I was given this book upon receiving my second Masters degree. It was very relevant to me as I moved back out of academe into the "real world". At the same time, it would be great for a child graduating from kindergarten, or one finishing high school, or an older person about to retire. An inspiration

Summary: The Perfect Gift!
Review: This book is an excellent example of human endurance. Life has it's ups and downs, but you will always prevail. I have bought this book for my nephew and my "yet to be born" neice or nephew as a gift at their birth. To read it from that perspective makes you really realize "All the Places [They'll] Go"

Summary: Among the best books about the journey of life I have read
Review: Dr Seuess' book on the places you'll go is really excellent and the most inspiring life journey book I have read in a very long time. This book I would not only recomment for parents to read it to their children but also to read it themselves. Even for those of us that are not parents yet, I recommend the purchase of this book. It is a book that you enjoy reading at any moment in your life. It shows reflections into our own lifes and the places we have been and the places we will go. Excellent read

Summary: A must read book!
Review: This book is an absolute 'must read' for everyone. I truly believe that every home should have a copy of this book :-)
I once saw it billed as 'the only self-help' book you'll ever need and this is a very acurate description.
Children - even the tiniest ones - will love this purely because of the wonderful rhyming verse and eye catching illustrations. Older kids and particularly adults will love it because of the wonderful uplifting message that it contains.
Sure, life isn't always easy and we all take wrong turns some times but if you keep going you are bound to end up in the right place.
This book should be available on prescription as an anti-depressant!

Summary: Loved this book.
Review: This book was so great. It was so easy and the ryming made it all the more... so when your walking down the street "thinking nasty stuff" This book really helps, the catch phrases over come it.

I was never big on Dr. Suess especially now with the overbearing freak lowlife teens blowing his work out of the linement. However, his self help reads tend to take my interest by a bright. I'd certainly like to check out another.

all in all I rate this 4 stars , I think it's beatifully intellectial to help a person cope with there things.

Summary: Children Book Review
Review: I think a lot of people should read Dr. Suess's book "Oh the places youll go". It is a good book for children to read because it has a lot of made up things in it and it also has a lot of rymes. It is a good book for using your imagination and having fun with reading. I remember reading it as a child and it seemed more fun to me when I was younger but now that i have mutured it has made more sence to me but it is still a really fun book to read.

Summary: A physics marvel?
Review: I was utterly petrified.

I couldn't find a physics book.

Believe me I tried.

I searched my home and the library too.

But all I found was "Principals of Math Principals"

Copyright 1932,

I spun around and collapsed in despair.

I landed with a small thud,

On a small cushioned chair.

A man in a small yellow cap met my gaze.

I pondered a short moment,

In my mind went a blaze!

I asked around and when everyone said no.

I decided to make my physics book,

"Oh the places you'll go". (author Dr. Seuss)

So I picked up this book and started to flip through it. You would not believe the amount of physics I found in this book! Not physics in the sense that the guy in the yellow cap was solving projectile motion, but a much more practical kind. How does one "Go" somewhere? Well we all know that Force equals Mass multiplied by Acceleration, but to move where he wants, he will have to have velocity, which is speed (m/s) with a vector. If this little yellow guy really wants to travel the world he is going to need to apply some physics. If the guy is to move at constant velocity, Newton's first law says that the three force vectors acting on it must add up to zero. But do you really think he is going to apply Newton's first law? Probably not. Most likely he will travel at a somewhat dull and variable speed. Lets cut him a little slack though and say that he does want the forces to add up to 0. Well, he will have to take into account gravity pulling down, the incline of the land and we will assume that air resistance and friction are not an issue. So there you go, he has a shot. On page twelve LYG (little yellow guy) says "You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights." He is seen flying in a big hot air balloon. So the LYG pulled a fast one and used the old hot air rises trick. He fought the -9.8m/s² of gravity with a bunch of less dense air. He did this by using a burner ((ignited propane (C3H8)) that stimulated the molecules causing them to be less dense. The dense air around this hot air weighs more, pushing the lighter air upward. This does not last however a process called adiabatic cooling keeps the air from rising constantly. What have we learned? Not that hot air rises, but that cold air sinks! So to maintain the upper hand of gravity one must continue to heat the air. What have we learned? Not that hot air rises, but that cold air sinks! Ok, so the guy really will "Soar to high heights".

So is that all of the physics this LGY can apply?

No my friend he flies a kite toward the sky.

Oh here we go again. Now he is defying gravity not with hot air but with wind. So how does wind work? Well... it has to do with hot air so I guess my previous statement was incorrect. Wind is merely air that is in motion. This motion is caused by hot air rising. This of course is not caused only by hot air balloons (some "balloonists" argue otherwise) but by solar radiation from the sun heating the earth. This does not heat the air directly by the surface of the Earth instead which in turn heats the air which causes the colder air to fall because of gravity and create motion in the air, aka wind. The hot air moves from the equator to both the North and South Poles creating air movement in the atmosphere. So the movement of the air is stopped by the kit and battles gravity to move upward.

So it was pulled of regardless of schematics

I learned a lot from this book....

A lot about mathematics.

If this does not work out and I end up on my caboose

I will be knocking at your door

Mr. Dr. Seuss.

Summary: over done
Review: Don't get me wrong- Dr. Suess is king of children's books. But I have had this book read to me so many times: at the end of 3rd grade, 4th grade, summer camp, sixth grade, etc, that I am completely sick of it.

If you are planning on reading this to someone in a crossroads situation, don't. It's kind of like a good Top 40s song. You love it at first, but when it is repeated and repeated, you start to resent it. Don't do this to someone you care about!

Summary: Inspiring Book That Makes You Take Another Giant Step!
Review: Although I had this book given to me when I graduated from college, I really didn't read it until recently. I loved the cover so kept it. Unlike most folks, I didn't have Dr. Suess books when I was little, so I really didn't know what laid in store for me. Wow! Like a bomb, I was absorbed in the simple yet meaningful book. It was like God had given this book to me for my "waiting room" phase. I just got out of the hospital and am running behind on everything. After reading this book, I am still climbing the mountain but a little faster!
