Jurassic Poop: What Dinosaurs (and Others) Left Behind de Jacob Berkowitz
This caught my eyes because I found that children have a odd fetish with the words fart and poop so I know a book about dinosaur poop would be right up there alley. Gross! Still it's educational as it talks facts about dinosaurs and what they left behind for us to discover. Has real illustrations as well as drawn ones meant to be quirky for kids.
Astrophysics is normally what people think of when they think of space science, but there is also astrochemistry, astrogeology and even astrobiology. This book highlights discoveries in these subjects and how they provide greater insight about how we and everything else owe our existence to stardust. It's a fascinating read. I recommend it.
This book was one of the funniest that I read. While it was hilarious it was also very interesting. What child would pass up a book about poop? It uses illustrations and actual photos to show fossils and how animal poop becomes fossils which can give us plenty of information about the past. Paired with the illustrations and photos are many pages of easy to read informational text that children will enjoy and learn from.
Excellent and thought-provoking read about the origins of all things--living and non-living. I had never thought about myself, or humankind in general, as being so connected to the entire cosmos, though I long ago understood that all the elements came from the stars, and therefore so do we, I never truly thought about the implications behind the fact.
This book was wonderfully readable (ie. not too technical), while still being incredibly informative about the scientific discoveries and history involved. Highly recommended!… (més)
