Download or read book Spineless written by Juli Berwald and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A book full of wonders" —Helen Macdonald, author of H Is for Hawk "Witty, insightful. . . .The story of jellyfish. . . is a significant part of the environmental story. Berwald's engaging account of these delicate, often ignored creatures shows how much they matter to our oceans' future." —New York Times Book Review Jellyfish have been swimming in our oceans for well over half a billion years, longer than any other animal that lives on the planet. They make a venom so toxic it can kill a human in three minutes. Their sting—microscopic spears that pierce with five million times the acceleration of gravity—is the fastest known motion in the animal kingdom. Made of roughly 95 percent water, some jellies are barely perceptible virtuosos of disguise, while others glow with a luminescence that has revolutionized biotechnology. Yet until recently, jellyfish were largely ignored by science, and they remain among the most poorly understood of ocean dwellers. More than a decade ago, Juli Berwald left a career in ocean science to raise a family in landlocked Austin, Texas, but jellyfish drew her back to the sea. Recent, massive blooms of billions of jellyfish have clogged power plants, decimated fisheries, and caused millions of dollars of damage. Driven by questions about how overfishing, coastal development, and climate change were contributing to a jellyfish population explosion, Juli embarked on a scientific odyssey. She traveled the globe to meet the biologists who devote their careers to jellies, hitched rides on Japanese fishing boats to see giant jellyfish in the wild, raised jellyfish in her dining room, and throughout it all marveled at the complexity of these alluring and ominous biological wonders. Gracefully blending personal memoir with crystal-clear distillations of science, Spineless is the story of how Juli learned to navigate and ultimately embrace her ambition, her curiosity, and her passion for the natural world. She discovers that jellyfish science is more than just a quest for answers. It’s a call to realize our collective responsibility for the planet we share.
Download or read book Ask the Jellyfish written by Heike Thieme and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All about Marriage ! No one should begin to doubt the reality of their soul. Consciousness is a sensation that also comes from the body. Nobody can define what I am. Our identity depends on our perceptions. This does not need instructions in a specific concept because the identity does not consist of a constant self. No magic, no transcendence, no mysticism, no hand of God, no prophetic knowledge, no law, no transcendent being, the answers to which people often cannot find in their lives, survived. We humans are just a walking bundle, undergoing a transformation as time passes and through the phases of our lives that no one should define in any individual as just 'despair'.
Download or read book There Is a Tribe of Kids written by Lane Smith and published by Roaring Brook Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal When a young boy embarks on a journey alone . . . he trails a colony of penguins, undulates in a smack of jellyfish, clasps hands with a constellation of stars, naps for a night in a bed of clams, and follows a trail of shells, home to his tribe of friends. If Lane Smith's Caldecott Honor Book Grandpa Green was an homage to aging and the end of life, There Is a Tribe of Kids is a meditation on childhood and life's beginning. Smith's vibrant sponge-paint illustrations and use of unusual collective nouns such as smack and unkindness bring the book to life. Whimsical, expressive, and perfectly paced, this story plays with language as much as it embodies imagination, and was awarded the 2017 Kate Greenaway Medal. This title has Common Core connections.

Book excerpt: Adam Donahue has a twisted sense of humor. His wife, Jessica, is a dedicated kindergarten teacher. Their comfortable life together is rocked by what happens to one of Jessica's students. Donna Jo Crawford is the type of student who breaks her teacher's heart. Unlike most students, she hates weekends. She has the Monday morning smile and the Friday frown. Typical of children whose parents are drug abusers, she is desperate for attention. When her parents' lethal brew of methamphetamine explodes, she becomes a burn victim and an orphan. She fights first for survival, and then to overcome her scars, both physical and mental. Picking Up Jellyfish gets its title from a seemingly innocuous childhood event, but that event takes on added significance in light of Donna Jo's quest to overcome her new challenges. Hers is a story of courage, yet it is told through Adam's unique and often humorous point of view.

Download or read book Peanut Butter Jellyfish written by Ormond Writers League Staff and published by Infinity Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peanut Butter & Jellyfish is a collection of diverse, often incongruous stories and poems. The theme of Florida surfaces and then vanishes as readers find themselves transported to places like Winchester, VA, Taylorsville, NC, St. Louis, MO, Green Village, NJ, Paw Paw, WV, the Mexican coast, and the Syria-Iraq border. The tone ranges from wistful to hilarious, from solemn to silly, from grim to outrageous and back. Humor predominates, at times uproarious, at others wry. Nostalgia comes in a close second with evocations of the past that are moving, often startling in their realism, and now and then, unexpectedly dark.
