A beautiful, informative, and interactive introduction to 10 of the world’s most amazing animals and their ‘secret powers’
This dazzling non-fiction board book invites curious children to learn about the wonders of the animal kingdom. The Secret Powers of Animals features 10 fascinating creatures, each with physical features that offer amazing abilities. From an African elephant and a narwal to a domestic cat and a dung beetle, these awe-inspiring species reflect earth’s incredible biodiversity.
Following in the footsteps of Superpowered Animals, selected by Smithsonian Magazine as one of the ten best children’s books of 2023, this new board book edition for children aged 2-5 presents simplified information through playful text and a lift-the-flap guessing game format.
With its frame-worthy animal illustrations and informative science-led approach, this stylish, unique book will wow any animal-loving child.
It begins with cicadas. It will end with the swarm.
When millions of insects appear unexpectedly, off the rhythm of their
17-year cycle, Detective Vicky Paterson is investigating a bizarre
killing in her sleepy hometown. At the same time, a pair of hired guns
work to free their client's daughter from a shadowy cult.
As these events intertwine, things begin to spiral out of control. When
Vicky's young daughter, Sadie, is attacked by the insects, it's clear
that the once-harmless creatures have invaded with a malevolent purpose.
But this is only the first wave. Soon, the infestation is impossible to
contain.
As the world desperately works to unravel the mysteries of the swarm,
and humanity rests on the knife's edge of extinction, Vicky and a group
of strangers will fight to uncover the shocking origins of the
attack-and the terrible purpose behind it.
This panoramic novel of insect apocalypse reaches back into the darkest
recesses of the twentieth century and unleashes its horrors on our
modern, interconnected world.
The first scholarly discussion on the band, Pearl Jam and
Philosophy examines both the songs (music and lyrics) and the
activities (live performances, political commitments) of one of the
most celebrated and charismatic rock bands of the last 30 years.
The book investigates the philosophical aspects of their music at
various levels: existential, spiritual, ethical, political,
metaphysical and aesthetic. This philosophical interpretation is
also dependent on the application of textual and poetic analysis:
the interdisciplinary volume puts philosophical aspects of the
band's lyrics in close dialogue with 19th- and 20th-century
European and American poetry. Through this widespread philosophical
examination, the book further looks into the band's immense
popularity and commercial success, their deeply loyal fanbase and
genuine sense of community surrounding their music, and the pivotal
place the band holds within popular music and contemporary culture.
