Autorenporträt
Court Rossman first got into building Pinewood Derby cars when helping his son and daughter with Cub Scouts. Pinewood derby cars allow kids to use wood, hammers, nails, and creativity and competition. The kids can build the car themselves, although it is possible that the scout leaders themselves learn more from doing the activity. This book compares the Pinewood Derby cars to real cars, in a fun and informing way, and could be read by both the parent and the kid together, to trigger and answer questions. The general concepts are all in the main part of the book. Part of the emphasis of the this book is a comparison of PD cars to people cars, and part is a description of some of the physical reasons a PD car goes fast, avoiding drag. This book is good in combination with other Pinewood Derby books that more directly describe a step by step process to making a good Pinewood Derby car. Court is participating in the emphasis on hands-on learning. Science kits are readily available these days, and that is great. He just wants to help that trend, so the next generation has practical knowledge and creativity. Court has a life-long interest in physics and science, and has a Ph.D. in Physics. He volunteered as an assistant scout master for Boy Scouts. Thanks to the Cub Scout Pack that ran the Pinewood Derby races.
