Download or read book The Anglerfish Do Your Kids Know This written by Tanya Turner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is an anglerfish? What characteristics are common for this species of fish? The Anglerfish is a species of fish that uses an angler or a lure that works like a fishing rod. Just like when people use fishing rods (also called anglers) to catch fish, the Anglerfish is a type of fish that uses the same tactic to catch other types of fish (those that they can eat). Equipped with really big heads, Anglerfishes sometimes seem that they're all head. Their bodies are flat - that's why they can easily bury themselves in the sand and go unnoticed. The Anglerfish has a very big mouth - and it can open really wide, too. So wide, in fact, that the fish can easily swallow its prey (its food) in one gulp. Don't underestimate its mouth because it can open way beyond what you would expect. As for its most important characteristic (its angler or lure), this is actually a spine that's located at the top of its head (just above its eyes). Excited to learn more about the Anglerfish? Have a copy of this book and discover amazing information about this animal!

Download or read book Breath written by James Nestor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.
