Friends in Nature

Ruiz, Marina — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

"All living things in the natural world, from the trees and the bees to the dogs and the frogs, depend on one another. There wouldn't be a coral reef without the help of all the fish that have made it their home. Rain forests are only filled with lush and colorful plants because of the birds and mammals who eat and scatter their seeds. Acacia trees have a whole army of ants to protect them, while elephants rely on egrets to keep them parasite-free. And it's because of bees, wasps, and butterflies that we have tasty fruit and vegetables to eat. Friends in Nature helps children to trace the relationships between all living things, covering subjects such as seed dispersal by animals including birds, bats, elephants, and lowland gorillas; the hunting partnership between the grouper fish and the moray eel; sea otters protecting kelp forests in our oceans; [and] the magical connection between fungi and trees. Includes three fun ideas for eco-friendly activities for children to try."-- Provided by Amazon.com

Nature at Night

Hood, Charles — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

"Nature doesn't simply stop for 12 hours when the sun goes down. This popular science book explores the mysteries of the natural world that most of us never see. In Monterey, night-feeding dolphins chase nocturnal squid which have made a vertical migration to the surface while manta rays beat the waves with their wings to make the bioluminescent plankton light up so they can see (and eat) it. In Borneo, bats nestle into pitcher plants. High above the Indian Ocean, transcontinental dragonflies migrate from India to Africa. Desert plants pulse and flex as they mend tissue and redistribute water in the darkness. Charles Hood takes us on several journeys to observe the rich, diverse wildlife that come alive under the cover of night"-- Provided by publisher

Out of School and Into Nature

Slade, Suzanne — Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT

This picture book biography examines the life and career of naturalist and artist Anna Comstock (1854-1930), who defied social conventions and pursued the study of science. From the time she was a young girl, Anna Comstock was fascinated by the natural world. She loved exploring outdoors, examining wildlife and learning nature's secrets. From watching the teamwork of marching ants to following the constellations in the sky, Anna observed it all. And her interest only increased as she grew older and went to college at Cornell University. There she continued her studies, pushing back against those social conventions that implied science was a man's pursuit. Eventually Anna became known as a nature expert, pioneering a movement to encourage schools to conduct science and nature classes for children outdoors, thereby increasing students' interest in nature. In following her passion, this remarkable woman blazed a trail for female scientists today.
