Books with title Classifying Living Things

Black Creek, South Carolina: a small town in the swamps that convinces itself that nothing bad has ever happened and nothing bad ever will. Black Creek is the sort of place where young girls roam the streets free to imagine who they are and who they’ll become. Where women sell pies and plants at the courthouse square. Where the fire department rescues cats from the tops of electric poles. And what trouble there is, they’ll tell you, stays past the town limits, in the run-down house-turned-strip-club and Lake Darpo, where certain birds are going extinct. These eleven closely related portraits show that the real threats have long taken root. Black Creek is a place of poignancy and absurdity, love and loss, loneliness and the brief charges of connection. Its residents will do almost anything to protect what they think is theirs.

We all know that our friends, family, and beloved pets are living things. So are the animals in the zoo, plants in the ground, and teeny creatures we can't even see.

With the help of eye-catching photographs and engaging text, readers will gain a stronger understanding of humankind's earthly cohabitants.

This text addresses the classification of reptiles in nature. It is part of a series explaining the concept and need for classification and exploring the key features and characteristics of each classification group. The titles explain how living things within a classification group can be linked by key aspects, such as behaviour, life cycle, appearance and structure. Each volume starts with an introduction to classification -how classification helps us to group animals (and plants), the systems, such as kingdoms, and the use of scientific and common names. The volumes then progress into exploring the specifics of a particular class and provide examples from significant orders. The series will also look at examples which may appear to be, for example birds, but are not really.

Living things come in all shapes and sizes. The animal kingdom is vast, and scientists have separated organisms into groups based on different shared characteristics. What makes animals different from each other? What traits do they have that overlap? Through this engaging book, readers learn all the biological differences that help animals survive and thrive in the wild. Pictograms and infographics make digesting this scientific information easy, and readers who struggle to obtain information from traditional textbooks will find this book especially helpful.
