Animals Up Close
Zoom in on some of the smallest yet strangest animals on the planet, and learn all about nature up close. Each animal is small enough to hold in your hand (or even perch on your finger), but photographed in eye-popping detail by Igor Siwanowicz - a.
Animals Up Close
Zoom in on the world's most incredible creatures If your child could be pint-sized like a pipistrelle bat, or see eye-to-eye with a housefly they'd encounter a miniature world of strange body shapes, weird and wonderful behaviour, and some jaw-dropping insights into life for the very small. Thanks to nature photographer Igor Siwanowicz's incredible photographs, they can do just that. With these astonishing images, they'll see in eye-popping close up detail how tiny creatures hunt, feed, move, survive and thrive. There are familiar creatures like flies and beetles to look at, along with exotic birds, reptiles, amphibians and rodents. Discover what makes them different and how they cope with living in highly varied habitats. With Igor's behind the scenes guide on how to photograph such tiny beasts, this is an awesome view of nature in miniature.
Animais em Close
Este livro traz macrofotografias tiradas por Igor Siwanowicz, que mostra aos leitores como criaturas minúsculas caçam, comem, sobrevivem e se desenvolvem. Há seres familiares, como moscas e besouros, ao lado de exóticos peixes, anfíbios, répteis, pássaros e mamíferos. Com um grande número de imagens, além de histórias de bastidores contadas pelo fotógrafo, 'Animais em close' traz um olhar sobre a natureza em miniatura.
Reptiles & Amphibians
Discover your amazing world through curious and fascinating up-close photography! Transform the ordinary into something extraordinary with exciting micro and macro photography! Reptiles & Amphibiansexplores all things cold-blooded, pairing extreme, hyper-detailed images of scaly skin, snake eyes, and webbed feet with fun facts, activities, and brainteasers. So let’s turn up the ZOOM and discover a whole new way of seeing the world.
The Lives of Moths
A richly illustrated look at the natural history of moths Moths are among the most underappreciated insects on the planet, yet they make up the majority of some 180,000 known species of Lepidoptera. Filled with striking images, The Lives of Moths looks at the remarkable world of these amazing and beautiful creatures. While butterflies may get more press than moths, Andrei Sourakov and Rachel Warren Chadd reveal that the lopsided attention is unjust. Moths evolved long before butterflies, and their importance cannot be overestimated. From the tiniest leaf miners to exotic hawk moths that are two hundred to three hundred times larger, these creatures are often crucial pollinators of flowers, i...
Patterns in Nature
While the natural world is often described as organic, it is in fact structured to the very molecule, replete with patterned order that can be decoded with basic mathematical algorithms and principles. In a nautilus shell one can see logarithmic spirals, and the Golden Ratio can be seen in the seed head of the sunflower plant. These patterns and shapes have inspired artists, writers, designers, and musicians for thousands of years. "Patterns in Nature: Why the Natural World Looks the Way It Does" illuminates the amazing diversity of pattern in the natural world and takes readers on a visual tour of some of the world s most incredible natural wonders. Featuring awe-inspiring galleries of nature s most ingenious designs, "Patterns in Nature" is a synergy of art and science that will fascinate artists, nature lovers, and mathematicians alike."
Mantis
This title introduces readers to mantis. Different types of mantis are examined such as Peruvian shield, Malaysian, dead leaf, brunner's stick, American grass, bark, stone, devil's flower, orchid, and spiny and jeweled flower. Readers will learn about each mantis's body including all the parts of its head, thorax, and abdomen. Where each mantis can be found is also covered. Xtreme facts provide additional information on these interesting insects. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. A&D Xtreme is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

Biomimetic Protein Based Elastomers
Elastomeric proteins are ubiquitous in nature, where they have evolved precise structures and properties that are necessary to perform specific biological roles and functions. This book emphasizes the impact of amino acid sequence on modulating protein structure, properties, and function. Examples include conformational ensemble dynamics, environmental responsiveness, self-assembly, physico-mechanical properties, morphology, and properties tailored for biomedical applications. This foundational framework is not only critical to advance scientific understanding and knowledge on elastomeric proteins but also enables the conceptualization, rational design, and development of biosynthetic elastomers and their analogous polypeptides for a variety of applications. Edited and contributed by pioneering researchers in the field, the book provides a timely overview of the materials, along with the synthesis techniques, the unique characteristics of elastomeric proteins, and biomedical and industrial applications. The book will provide a reference for graduate students and researchers interested in designing biomimetic proteins tailored for various functions.
Animals Up Close
Zoom in on some of the smallest yet strangest animals on the planet, and learn all about nature up close. Each animal is small enough to hold in your hand (or even perch on your finger), but photographed in eye-popping detail by Igor Siwanowicz – a scientist who is a rising star in the world of macrophotography and wins rave reviews for his online gallery of truly wild portraits. From praying mantises pouncing on their prey to fan-toed geckos with an incredible grip, meet the natural born killers – and survivors – that fascinate Igor and burst out of large-format double pages designed to make the most of macro. As well as these star portraits, special features look at how tiny animals live, their unique adaptations, the habitats they've conquered, and why they matter to the rest of us. A foreword from Igor, field notes on how he works, a glossary, and an index make this beautiful book a riveting read and an invaluable source of information for readers of all ages to pore over and return to again and again.
