| Summary: | Uncover one of the world's most fascinating and feared predatory creatures in this innovative 3-dimensional book. Uncover a Shark takes you on a whole new learning experience, layer-by-layer to provide children with an in depth and all encompassing understanding of the subject and its anatomy. Of all the world's 400 shark species, Great Whites are one of the most feared and studied mammals of all time. This 16-page book examines the alluring Great White in detail. First the basic elements--their cartilaginous nature, teeth, fins, and gills--then more complex systems are detailed--the cardiopulmonary systems, digestive system, and the acute sensory systems. Each organ or system is intricately placed inside the book to provide a three dimensional view of its size in relation to the rest of the body. Each page is filled with interesting facts and detailed illustrations that describe each part.
Did you know that engineers study sharks in order to design better ships and rockets since the sharks body is well-suited to gliding through the water? Or that a great white can also eat 10 tons of meat a year but often go several days in between meals. Explore these questions and many others as Uncover a Shark takes you on a journey you won't forget! |

| Summary: | Past meets Future in this fascinating book on robotic animals and Biomimetics--the field of science that attempts to create machines or materials by copying nature. Just some of the great ideas from nature include how non-skid shoes were designed from the textured surface of a dog's padded paws and the Eiffel Tower might never have been built if the designer hadn't noticed the inner structure of the human thighbone. This unique book combines in-depth information on the uses of robots today, how the tyrannosaurus rex's inspires designers to create robots for the future and then provides kids with an opportunity to build their own walking dinosaur, complete with light-up eyes and moving tail!
Real robots have been around for more than half a century and used for a variety of purposes. Some dinosaur robots are at the cutting edge of robot research. For years, experimental dinobots have been helping scientists and engineers test out different ways of walking. This "rexbot" will have two legs for walking and a tail to keep it balanced, just like the real T. rex. Also in existence is Banryu, a real, working dinosaur robot. This Japanese robot is about as big as a medium-size dog and is able to patrol the house like a guard dog and using its infrared sensors that can listen for noises and sniff for smoke.
From fossil bones in museums to special-effects monsters in movies, T. rex is probably the most well-known and fascinating dinosaur of all. This all encompassing book gives kids an up close learning experience and the chance to build their own walking T. rex! |

| Summary: | What do scorpions and robots have in common? Find out in this fascinating book on robotic animals, which introduces budding scientists to the field of biomimetics, the science of creating machines or materials by copying nature. For decades, scientists have looked to scorpions and other eight- and six-legged creatures for inspiration. Imagine a creature that can withstand extreme termperatures-from below freezing to a brutal 120 degrees F- and survive in almost any environment on earth. Scorpions are among the best-adapted animals in the world. Now imagine a creature that can mow your lawn, vacuum your living room, guard a museum, build a car and explore the surface of Mars all without oxygen or food. Combine the best features of these animals and the technology of science and you can understand how scientists have been using robots designed after scorpions for years. Read about the "Scorpion" robots and how they help in space exploration, and modern uses and then build your own walking scorpion, complete with light up eyes and moving pincers. |
