AMPLITUDES

by a violent militia in “Fettle \u0026amp\u003B Sunder.” In Sarah Gailey’s “MoonWife,” a digital medium channels the spirit of a trans man’s late friend, while in Esther Alter’s “The Shabbos Bride,” a Jewish trans woman receives a Shabbos miracle that remolds her entire body. Editor Mandelo has pulled together 22 stories from some of the strongest speculative fiction authors working today. The writing is crisp, clean, and evocative throughout. Every tale opens onto a different vision of the future—some far\u002Dflung, others right around the corner, and each as compelling as the next. Although the mood shifts frequently throughout the anthology—Miller’s tale is easily the most lighthearted, Yoakeim’s the saddest—each story is a poignant, unflinching look at what could be for the LGBTQ+ community.

Our Review

This innovative book explores the fascinating world of sound waves and frequencies through engaging, hands-on experiments that make complex physics concepts accessible to young readers. The content bridges scientific principles with real-world applications, demonstrating how amplitude affects everything from musical instruments to everyday sounds we encounter. Through clear explanations and vivid illustrations, readers gain practical understanding of wave properties and acoustic phenomena.

What sets this science exploration apart is its emphasis on interactive learning through simple household materials, making it ideal for curious middle schoolers and high school students beginning their physics journey. The approach transforms abstract concepts into tangible experiences, helping develop critical thinking skills while satisfying natural curiosity about how sound works. Readers will finish with not just knowledge but genuine excitement about the science shaping their auditory world.
