Book Description
Alex Stone is nerdy and reserved, no doubt a product of having two astronaut parents and the trauma of watching his mother die in a horrible rocket explosion when he was only nine years old. Now a teenager, Alex suddenly finds himself and his father caught up in a promotional scheme by a private company to attract families with children to their space hotel on the newly built NewStar One space station. The opportunity provided by the company could give him a chance to become the first teenager in space and complete the scientific work his astronaut mother started before she died. That work has the potential to save thousands of lives...but only if space doesn’t claim Alex’s life first.

What Species of Creatures
Author: Sharon Kirsch
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. North American History. Science. Three centuries ago, white Europeans began to colonize the North American continent. In doing so, they encountered flying squirrels, ruby-throated hummingbirds, and the easily tamed beaver: creatures their kind had never met before. The accounts of early explorers and settlers in describing these animals and others provide fascinating insight into the taxonomies they carried to the so-called New World. Their literature of discovery was by turns comic, cruel and adulatory. This book brings together period quotes and 21st-century science in an idiosyncratic narrative. Extended anecdote conveys the adventures of historical personalities, and the book borrows, too, from fables, children's stories and natural histories. Yet WHAT SPECIES OF CREATURES addresses present concerns our habitual understanding of wild animals and our own place in the natural order. In the process of quoting from and commenting upon European ancestors' speciesist arrogance, Kirsch interrogates our seemingly insatiable appetite to trap, catch, skin, domesticate, eat, eradicate or otherwise bend to our use the animals in our midst."
