15. Play with Google Book Search and Google Scholar

I liked Google Book Search. It is great to have all the details of the book, a preview of its content, popular passages, references from web pages and scholarly works and related books.
It makes an easy way to get quick information on your topic or particular book and expand your reading.
It is also great to be able to have the classics at your fingertips and be able to read these out of copyright books (and sometimes out of print books) online.
The links to book seller is also handy.

Google Scholar was also extremely interesting. I searched for our German scientist friend (whose family we were great friends with in the Philippines) and was able to pull up his articles and patents. I am sure it is very helpful for researchers.
