Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “thrilling” (The New York Times), “dazzling” (The Wall Street Journal) tour of the radically different ways that animals perceive the world that will fill you with wonder and forever alter your perspective, by Pulitzer Prize–winning science journalist Ed Yong “One of this year’s finest works of narrative nonfiction.”—Oprah Daily ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Time, People, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Slate, Reader’s Digest, Chicago Public Library, Outside, Publishers Weekly, BookPage ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Oprah Daily, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Economist, Smithsonian Magazine, Prospect (UK), Globe & Mail, Esquire, Mental Floss, Marginalian, She Reads, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every kind of animal, including humans, is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of our immense world. In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent, waves of electromagnetism, and pulses of pressure that surround us. We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires, turtles that can track the Earth’s magnetic fields, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages, and even humans who wield sonar like bats. We discover that a crocodile’s scaly face is as sensitive as a lover’s fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, that plants thrum with the inaudible songs of courting bugs, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. We learn what bees see in flowers, what songbirds hear in their tunes, and what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, while looking ahead at the many mysteries that remain unsolved. Funny, rigorous, and suffused with the joy of discovery, An Immense World takes us on what Marcel Proust called “the only true voyage . . . not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes.” WINNER OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL • FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE • FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD • LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O.

Download or read book Straight Talk to Teachers written by Bruce J. Gevirtzman and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a no-holds-barred, candid delivery, Straight Talk to Teachers: Twenty Insane Ideas for a Better Classroom drives directly to the core of what makes an extraordinary teacher, and presents an honest appraisal of why some teachers fail. Bruce J. Gevirtzman speaks to teachers, about teachers, and for teachers. He says, 'This book will provide readers with a hearty laugh-but it also may cause some of them to scream. Rarely does anyone talk about the best ways of helping teachers to become better, because these truths are sometimes scary.' Gevirtzman is convinced that our greatest teachers are hard working, emotionally well adjusted, and incredibly enthusiastic-about their students, their subject matter, and their jobs. By telling it straight, this book can make a huge difference in the way teachers go about their work.

Download or read book Animal Idioms and Proverbs written by Hseham Amrahs and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A proverb is a set of words whose literal meaning is different from the symbolic one. The purpose of a proverb is to use figurative language to captivate an audience and convey a beneficial message or moral lesson. A proverb is defined as a set of words whose meaning cannot be deduced from their literal meaning. For example, "pull someone's leg" is an idiom but doesn't mean you're pulling someone by the leg. Rather, it means to joke with someone. So basically, a proverb has a symbolic or figurative meaning. Whereas an idiom is a popular statement that expresses a belief or idea, idioms have been in common use around the world for a long time. A feature of idioms is that many metaphors compare what you want to explain with something else. For example, "The pen is mightier than the sword" or "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." The meaning of these sentences can be taken as they are. In the presented book, a collection of idioms and proverbs has been made in A-Z order only based on animals and birds. Thus it has become a unique, interesting, and collectible book for every language lover.
