Metazoa: Animal Life and the Birth of the Mind
Combining science, philosophy, and his own observations gleaned from “watery hours” spent scuba diving, Godfrey-Smith (history, philosophy of science, Univ. of Sydney; Theory and Reality) examines the origins of animal consciousness. In his acclaimed work, Other Minds, the author focused on octopuses; here, the book’s “tentacular form” shows him considering several animal groups as he investigates the puzzle of how subjective awareness came to exist.
Grasses, Sedges, Rushes: An Identification Guide
A classic in the nature field-guide genre gets refreshed 41 years after original publication. Readers familiar with the older book will be pleased to know that Brown’s ( Weeds in Winter) labeled drawings still provide apt instruction and that its general organization by plants’ visual similarity remains, as do its other identification tools. Likewise, distribution of plant species again includes Northeastern and some Midwestern states. So what’s changed?
Simon at the Art Museum
K-Gr 2–Simon and his family are visiting an art museum, and like many children, and even some adults, he’s overwhelmed (and a bit bored) by the tall ceilings, slippery floors, and “SO. MUCH. ART.” While lying on a bench bored and hungry for cheesecake, he observes the various people in the gallery hall, until something seizes his attention—a painting of a small child, in red shorts and a yellow hat, chasing birds—and he is transported.
Dinosaur Facts and Figures: The Theropods and Other Dinosauriformes
This survey of the theropods, the great dinosaur subgroup that includes Tyrannosaurus rex and the ancestors of birds, is an inspired blend of art, science, and imagination. The authors—principals of Eofauna, a company that produces reproductions of prehistoric fauna—slice and dice scads of information about dinosaur taxonomy, chronology, geography, anatomy, biology, footprints, history, and culture, and conclude with a complete list of theropod species current to 2016.
Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils
Farrier (English literature, Univ. of Edinburgh; Anthropocene Poetics) explores what traces of present societies will persist into the deep future, traveling the world to report from places rich in future footprints. These journeys include everything from observing plastics washed up on the shore of the North Sea to a deep pit of nuclear waste in Finland to “single, endless” Shanghai to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
