Lerner Books currently offers twenty-one books in their AR experience series.  The series is broken down into four topics: Folding Tech, The Gross Human Body in Action, Space in Action, and Creepy Crawlers in Action. Each takes-on a different subject area, from critters that crawl on the ground to crafts that navitage deep space. 

The first book I explored was in the Creepy Crawlers line titled 'Stick Insects'.  Instructions in the book directed me to download the app and how to access AR models. The app was quickly downloaded. As I progressed through the book I encountered some markers amongst the interesting and informative content about these strange and fascinating insects. The markers were simply the Lerner AR app logo. When I viewed the marker through my iPhone a stick bug came to life. My AR bug slowly crawled up a branch which floated above my desk. Another model showed bugs emerging from their eggs resting on a leaf. 

My next book choice was 'Space Machines in Action'.  I viewed NASA's Curiosity rover as it traversed the martian landscape and a small two-wheels device knows as the PUFFER. PUFFER stands for Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robots. Also developed by NASA, it's designed to investigate objects such as asteroids and comets. I moved on to an interestingly titled book, 'The Ears and Nose: A Disgusting Augmented Reality Experience'.  I learned about how mixed martial arts fighters often damage their ear cartilage, causing scar tissue to form. This info was accompanied by an AR model of an ear which allowed me double-tap my screen and watch in enlarge much like a ear would after sustaining a signifiant enough impact during a fight. 

The final book I reviewed was titled 'Folding Tech: Using Origami and Nature to Revolutionize Technology'. At a total of 104 pages, this book was notably larger that the others which roughly each thirty pages in length. I activated an AR model os the InSight Lander which touched down on Mars in 2018. Aside from the AR content, this books discussed topic ranging from ladybugs to geckos in an effort to reveal how we create new inventions based upon what we observe in nature.
