A nice overview of what the maker movement is, who is involved, what it entails and why it is vital to the future. Might not be revelatory to those who already consider themselves makers, but it would be a good one to hand to a school administrator or city official if you're trying to make a case for supporting making in your community.

If you’re a librarian, teacher, educator, or maker looking for information on how to go about building a makerspace or even making a case for a makerspace, you likely won’t find much of use here. Free to Make is full of fascinating case studies, but it doesn’t deliver what it advertises. Though easy to read and inspiring in many places, the contents are not what I’d lean on for any research on the topic.

Excellent primer for the maker movement for educators and interested humans. The examples are inspiring.

A history of the maker movement with excellent resources for schools and communities interested in bringing a maker mentality to their community. I like that it keeps the focus on the process of making.

Good book. Would have gotten four stars except for a major copy editing fail where the word "mindset" was apparently replaced with a space every time it was supposed to appear for more than a chapter.
