Download or read book The Speed of Animals of All Kinds written by Weston Stewart and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, The Speed of Animals of All Kinds: Fastest to Slowest, is very unique because there is no other book on this subject that explains and gives the detailed information in the form of a rhyming poem. This book includes true facts about the animals presented, including what they each must do to survive in the wild and the realities of the world they live in. The beautiful pictures and poems that accompany each description of the animals will surely inspire interest and a great appreciation for nature and the lifestyles of the animals displayed. This is a very fun, educational book that is not only geared toward exciting the imaginations of children but of adults as well. This book is filled with facts that have been proven; thus, it is information that will never be outdated. This makes it a wonderful book to pass down to each generation and something that any library could keep in circulation. I started writing this book nine years ago when I was inspired by the struggle of different animals that had gone extinct and wondered how each animal survived out in the harsh and dangerous world. After gathering up all the information that I could about different animals, the idea came to me to write about the survival of each animal in a way that could easily be understood by children. Once I had written the poems, I began to research how to put these poems together in book form and share it with my own children and grandchildren. Creating this book, starting my own company, self-publishing my book, and beginning this journey to having it sold in stores has been a long and sometimes frustrating process, but Im determined to see it through. At the end of the day, knowing that this book I have created will educate and brighten the imaginations of children is the greatest gift I can imagine. Im very proud of the book that Ive put together. It has always been a goal in my life to educate others and provide everyone with the opportunity to learn in a safe and fun way. Education is the key to understanding and appreciating all lives on this earth. Please read a book, you might just get hooked! Respectfully, Mr. Weston Stewart

Download or read book How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls written by David Hu and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovering the secrets of animal movement and what they can teach us Insects walk on water, snakes slither, and fish swim. Animals move with astounding grace, speed, and versatility: how do they do it, and what can we learn from them? In How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls, David Hu takes readers on an accessible, wondrous journey into the world of animal motion. From basement labs at MIT to the rain forests of Panama, Hu shows how animals have adapted and evolved to traverse their environments, taking advantage of physical laws with results that are startling and ingenious. In turn, the latest discoveries about animal mechanics are inspiring scientists to invent robots and devices that move with similar elegance and efficiency. Hu follows scientists as they investigate a multitude of animal movements, from the undulations of sandfish and the way that dogs shake off water in fractions of a second to the seemingly crash-resistant characteristics of insect flight. Not limiting his exploration to individual organisms, Hu describes the ways animals enact swarm intelligence, such as when army ants cooperate and link their bodies to create bridges that span ravines. He also looks at what scientists learn from nature’s unexpected feats—such as snakes that fly, mosquitoes that survive rainstorms, and dead fish that swim upstream. As researchers better understand such issues as energy, flexibility, and water repellency in animal movement, they are applying this knowledge to the development of cutting-edge technology. Integrating biology, engineering, physics, and robotics, How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls demystifies the remarkable mechanics behind animal locomotion.
Download or read book Animals in Film written by Jonathan Burt and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2004-02-03 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Salvador Dalí to Walt Disney, animals have been a constant yet little-considered presence in film. Indeed, it may come as a surprise to learn that animals were a central inspiration to the development of moving pictures themselves. In Animals in Film, Jonathan Burt points out that the mobility of animals presented technical and conceptual challenges to early film-makers, the solutions of which were an important factor in advancing photographic technology, accelerating the speed of both film and camera. The early filming of animals also marked one of the most significant and far-reaching changes in the history of animal representation, and has largely determined the way animals have been visualized in the twentieth century. Burt looks at the extraordinary relation-ship between animals, cinema and photography (including the pioneering work of Eadweard Muybridge and Jules-Etienne Marey) and the technological developments and challenges posed by the animal as a specific kind of moving object. Animals in Film is a shrewd account of the politics of animals in cinema, of how movies and video have developed as weapons for animal rights activists, and of the roles that animals have played in film, from the avant-garde to Hollywood.
