| 141.The Invisible ABC's: Exploring the World of Microbes by: Rodney P. Anderson December 30, 2006 |

Average Rating:  >>More Details |

|
| It would be an understatement to say that the American Society For Microbiology is perhaps not amongst the most prolific publishers of children's books. You can imagine my confusion then when I learned that they not only had a book out, but one of an alphabetic nature. There are more alphabet books on this earth than grains of sands on the shore. Yet for every one you see, huge debates probably went into its making. Take "The Invisible ABCs" as your example. If you're going to create the greatest ... Read More: |

| I purchased this book for my daughters who are teachers. They teach the life cycle of the monarch butterfly and this book is a dream for teaching. The pictures are beautiful and the story is easy to understand.
I even learned things from it. |

| I am a biology teacher and I have advanced degrees in Biochemistry. I really dislike the textbook "Modern Biology" by Towle. In my experience some topics are placed in the least opportune places. Thus while the topic of redox reactions is introduced in Chapter 2, there is no real tie-in to anything else until Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration in later chapters. I would prefer leaving the explanation of Redox until Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are discussed. Similarly, the topic of ... Read More: |

| Naturalist Jean Craighead George introduces us to the world of the mountain lion, the road runner, the cactus, the kangaroo rat, the ringtailed cat, the swift fox, the elf owl, the coyote, and the bombadier beetle in this book as she did wolves and caribou in JULIE OF THE WOLVES and peregrine falcons in MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. A young Papago Indian girl named Bird Wing and her mother live in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. This usually arid place is about to fall victim to a terrible thunderstorm and a flash flood. ...

| The Burgess Seashore Book for Children and indeed all his books are as timeless and informative today as they were sixty years ago when I first read them. It is an entertaining and joyful introduction to nature. |

| Readers that disapprove of this book may be missing the point of their own biological present. How could agile gibbons and even homo sapiens have evolved from rodent-like mammalian ancestors? How could manatees have evolved from elephants? Birds from reptiles? Our biological present is just as wild as this book!
This is the book my eldest son, now 7, has enjoyed the most. It is not only imaginative but also true to the evolutionary trends observed in our fossil history. This book is thought-provoking ... Read More: |

"The Human Body" by Seymour Simon is about how the body works. There was some really good information in the book, but the best part was definitely the pictures. There are pictures on pretty much every page. There is a neat colored x-ray of the skull. There is a 2-page drawing of a see-through body where you can see all the blood vessels and organs. There is a colored microscope image of the skin. The picture makes the skin look so flakey ... Read More: |
