How Long Things Live by Anthony D Fredericks
A gall midge hatches, breeds, and dies in a 3-hour period. A bowhead whale can live for 200 years, a quahog clam 400. And box huckleberries growing today sprouted some 13,000 years ago. This fact filled science book explains how and why some 99 animals and plants - including dragonflies, horses, dogs, snakes, humans, tortoises, sequoias, and jellyfish - live as long, or as briefly, as they do. AUTHOR: Anthony Fredericks is the author of the Science Fair Handbook and a number of science books for young people. He is professor at York College, Pennsylvania. 10 line drawings| SKU | Unavailable |
