Half hours with the lower animals
Charles Frederick Holder
A single drop of pond water swarms with more life than a whole zoo. Charles Holder introduces the lower animals, from sponges and jellyfish to sea anemones, corals, and starfish, in short, wonder-filled chapters. Accessible natural history that reveals the strangeness of simple creatures. For the curious reader ready to meet the animals most people never think about. Look closer and marvel.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
