MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW

Very interesting and fun facts researched by Emma bland smith about Eiffel tower and the Parisians. Beautiful illustration along with proper descriptions. Eiffel tower, for the astonishment of Parisians watched the tallest structure in the world created by the Gustave Eiffel. Has promised by the maker it was magnificent. The tower was 1000 foot tall marked the entrance for the 1889 world's fair. Millions of people were invited in Paris to see it. The Parisians and officials thought the tower was quiet useless. In 1909, the tower would be torn down and sold for scrap metal, they figured out that it remain for 20 years. The iron lattice work was so modern, Monsieur Eiffel adored the tower when these Parisians hated the building. The 47 artisans and writers thought it was a ridiculous tower and the laughing stock of the world.

Monsieur Eiffel was an engineer who constructed fine bridges in his career. He even built the interior framework for the statue of liberty! Monsieur Eiffel loved the wondrous engineering designed to withstand the greatest winds- it's height and brilliant news style. 

When the 1889 fair was opened, people from around the world flocked to climb the stairs, they admired the artistic iron work which was so elegant, from the top they gazed at all of Paris - so breathtaking. People loved the Eiffel tower. When Parisians wanted to still tear the tower down, Monsieur wanted the Parisians to keep the tower. Monsieur had a passion for science. Monsieur Eiffel recorded temperatures, wind and air pressure 900 feet in the sky. The ground breaking data gave more accurate weather predictions. to the scientists. Monsieur Eiffel turned his tower into an aviation and aerodynamic laboratory for the scientists to study the science of flight. I found this book to be informative for children from Grade 4 to 12 even above. For those who are travelling to visit Paris, the illustrations and the facts can definitely be helpful. Now I know the science behind the Eiffel Tower.

I just reviewed the book: How Science Saved the Eiffel Tower by Emma Bland Smith, Thanks to Publisher Capstone Editions and Netgalley for an advance copy for my review.

BOOK ON TOUR #AFTER PEARL #HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION #SANTA FE WRITERS PROJECT PUBLISHERS #BOOK REVIEW #STEPHEN G EOANNOU

  MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW After Pearl is a captivating historical mystery set in 1942, during the turbulent months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The novel follows Nicholas Bishop, an alcoholic private investigator and shell-shocked WWI veteran, who wakes up in a seedy hotel room with a hangover, a foggy memory, and two bullets missing from his revolver. Worse still, lounge singer Pearl DuGaye is dead, and Bishop is the prime suspect. As he stumbles through a haze of forgotten days, Bishop—assisted by the sharp and capable Gia Alessi, a loyal sidekick who may or may not still be on his payroll—dives into a web of deceit and danger. His investigation leads him through Buffalo’s underworld, rubbing shoulders with crooked politicians, high-society elites, and an underground group of American Nazis. All the while, he’s haunted by flashbacks from the Great War and shadowed by a one-eyed dog named Jake. The pacing is tight and energetic. The mystery unfolds gradually but never drag...
