Annick Press Ltd CRISPR: A Powerful Way to Change DNA
Book SynopsisWe can change the world with genetic modification—but should we? CRISPR stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. If it sounds complicated, it is—but it’s also one of the most powerful ways we can shape the future. And it’s poised to completely upend the way we think about science. Author Yolanda Ridge tackles this topic in a friendly and accessible tone, with two introductory chapters covering the basics of DNA and genetic modification before taking readers through the ways that this ground-breaking science could affect them by potentially: - eliminating diseases like malaria and cancer, - improving the stability of our food supply, and - helping to manage conservation efforts for threatened animals and environments. But all of these possible advancements come with risks, the biggest being that the consequences are unknown. Chapters end with “Stop, Go, Yield” sections encouraging readers to consider the pros and cons of using CRISPR. “Cutting Questions” give readers the opportunity to further reflect on the ethics of the science. CRISPR is a game changer. This important book, with detailed scientific illustrations, brings much needed clarity to a topic that will affect readers for generations to come.Trade Review“A relevant, evidence-based resource for high school students and academic library collections. Ridge successfully demonstrates the necessity of an educated debate about the nuanced pros and cons of gene modification.” “A thought-provoking, insightful look at a complex and controversial topic that’s sure to pique student interest.” “Science literally on the cutting edge, offering prospects of wonder and terror in equal measure.”

Albatros nakladatelstvi as How Plants Talk
Book SynopsisThis cute little book with flaps tells a story of a group of plants that are being moved to a new flower shop.In this brightly illustrated book the basics of plant communication are being introduced to little kids using a simple narrative. As the story goes, kids will learn how plants communicate without words, what they do when they are under stress, how they defend themselves when in danger, and also how they help each other. By opening a window on each double-page spread, the kids will find out what the plants are talking about.Kids of very young age will learn that people and animals are not the only ones capable of interactions, and that plants, trees, and fungi all around us can communicate in their own way as well.Trade ReviewSelected for the CBC’s 2023 April Hot Off The Press Reading List (https://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/april-2023/).This is such an interesting book, and I loved the lift-the-flap designs. There are funny little dialogue bubbles as if the plants are talking, and it’s so cute! Each page has a paragraph or two about how plants develop these survival strategies. —Luminous Libro"A really cute book that explores the different ways plants communicate to the world around them! Full of flaps that have answers/more words behind them and cute illustrations, I found this book delightful. Great way to introduce children to the world of plants!" —NetGalley-Educator"My children loved this book, and I learned something, too! How Plants Talk shows the different ways plants can communicate with each other and protect themselves. The illustrations are cute, the text is relatable and understandable for young kids, and the overall tone of the book is very tender. My kids loved learning how plants can take care of themselves, and it inspired them to take better care of the plants in and around our home as well. I highly recommend this book for kids to learn about and delight in the natural world!" —NetGalley-Reviewer"I loved how this book was rich in vocabulary, chock full of information, but also had a comic-like narration going on throughout the pages. This would be a great book for a science class to use on plant life. I will recommend it to my teaching team. Students could also use this as a mentor text to create their own simplified books to teach others about a concept." —NetGalley-Educator"Kids will enjoy peeking at what’s underneath in this lift-the-flap board book. Cute illustrations show plants and insects talking while the text explains how they communicate. Plants can send signals through their roots, or change their scent to warn of danger, changes, to show emotion, or to become more appealing to bees for pollination. Some signals result in a toxic substance in their leaves, making them taste bad so bugs will stop eating them. Sometimes plants might lose their petals and leaves or droop to save energy in case they need to fight for their lives. It’s a fun take on the language of plants, making it easy for children to understand." —Vicky Tandy, Athol Public Library, Athol, MA"Certainly a unique way to show how plants “feed” off each other. [. . .] This is a prime example of how society works too. Great book for older kids to further understand how indoor and outdoor vegetation operate." —Goodreads/Netgalley-Librarian"I love board books that are also interactive. It keeps the little ones even more engaged while reading. This very adorable books teaches kids how plants talk (even though we can’t hear them). They interact through their roots, can give off different scents, have different movements (like drooping). I think I learned a thing or two because I have the opposite of a green thumb." —Nura's Little Library IG"This was a quick and informative book. It gives a quick introduction to the different abilities that plants have for communication between each other and the world around them." —Morgan Frazier, Librarian"Kids will enjoy peeking at what’s underneath in this lift-the-flap board book. It’s a fun take on the language of plants, making it easy for children to understand. It was really cute!" —Youth Services Book Review
