Books with title Starfish

Starfish have arms, but no legs. They have feet, but no toes. Starfish aren't fish, but they are living animals. Kids learn how starfish move, eat, and grow in Edith Hurd's poetic text, illustrated with Robin Brickman's vivid watercolor collages. This is a Stage 1 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explains simple science concepts for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Let's-Read-And-Find-Out is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series. Supports the Common Core Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards

Starfish Gazing is the second book in Patricia Gleichauf's series about sea creatures. Starfish are extraordinary saltwater animals with unusual abilities. Like the award-winning Horses of the Sea, Starfish Gazing was written to help young children develop an early knowledge and appreciation of these fabulous marine animals. It is a colorful, educational journey into the world of Starfish! Starfish are a threatened species. A major cause of the threat to starfish is sea debris. The earlier we can teach children to appreciate the beauty of their environment, the cleaner and safer our oceans will be.

Civilization rests on the backs of its outcasts.So when civilization needs someone to run generating stations three kilometers below the surface of the Pacific, it seeks out a special sort of person for its Rifters program. It recruits those whose histories have preadapted them to dangerous environments, people so used to broken bodies and chronic stress that life on the edge of an undersea volcano would actually be a step up. Nobody worries too much about job satisfaction; if you haven't spent a lifetime learning the futility of fighting back, you wouldn't be a rifter in the first place. It's a small price to keep the lights going, back on shore.But there are things among the cliffs and trenches of the Juan de Fuca Ridge that no one expected to find, and enough pressure can forge the most obedient career-victim into something made of iron. At first, not even the rifters know what they have in them—and by the time anyone else finds out, the outcast and the downtrodden have their hands on a kill switch for the whole damn planet...

Explore evolution by comparing the anatomy of different species as presented in the many books in this collection. In this book, full color photos create a visual dictionary of the key external anatomy of a starfish, a species of sea star (an echinoderm), including its central disk, arms, mouth, tubed feet, and tentacles. The left page of each 2-page spread has a photo showing the anatomical part (e.g., the tubed feet) in full color while the rest of the starfish is shown in muted shades of gray. The right page presents a clear definition of that part with the defined term (e.g., tubed feet) printed in red. This book is designed to meet the developmental needs of elementary-aged children. The title is in lower case so as not to discourage young readers. When you open the book, you arrive directly at the content; the copyright and ISBN information appear only on the outside back cover so it does not distract or discourage emerging readers. The outer corners are rounded to avoid tactile distractions. It is also sized for children's hands and the spiral binding is specifically used so that the books lay flat when open, allowing children to work with them freely. The external parts books inform and inspire children on a path of scientific discovery. Designed by an AMI Montessori Teacher with the support of a Zoologist and a team of teachers/teacher trainers, it is a standard material in Montessori classrooms.

Starfish Prime tells the story of Alex and Wesley Graham, two men who seek peace for themselves and their family in a post-decimation world dominated by a group named the Healers. Forced to face the lawlessness this group created, the Grahams’ need for safety is replaced by their urgency to stop a man named Bartol Petric, whose goal is to reinvent humanity by weeding out the genetically weak. On learning of the scope of this man’s power, one brother is faced with a decision that would save his family’s lives at the cost of their love: whether to help the Healers. With the imminent threat looming of a bomb that will remake man’s genetic code, the bond shared by brothers is strained as one must decide whether to betray the other. Set in late twenty-first century Los Angeles, this story reveals what might be when the real-world ambitions of men like Adolph Hitler are given full breadth.
