Tube worm fascination
Published by Susanne wichert , 1 year ago
I have been fascinated with the range of life on this planet since I first saw a pile up of horseshoe crabs on a beach on Long Island. Some time later I learned about tube worms who lived in the hot water vents on the ocean floor: non-carbon based life forms. I got this book for the pictures. The writing is enough of a tease to make me go elsewhere to learn more.
The binding is falling apart and the dust cover is ripped
Published by Brenda , 2 years ago
This book was purchased for my grand daughter so this review is about the quality, not the content. If the binding of a book is falling apart it should not be resold unless it specifically discloses that fact. I am very disappointed with the rating of this book and the quality that showed up on my doorstep.
I tried to love this book
Published by Claire Sinclair , 4 years ago
I was hoping this book would be as interesting and as full of high quality, fascinating photographs as I remember National Geographic magazine being from when I was a child. It just doesn't seem...great, and I don't think it's that I've grown old and cynical. Going to try again for a well-illustrated and informative book about marine life.
