Current read for a bingo

#BookSpinBingo

Feminist Book Club delivery day! This month‘s theme is The Cosmos. 🪐🔭

I started this one before the total eclipse in April of this year. I lost interest after that and just picked it up. It was definitely interesting, especially the history of how eclipses were used to help map the size and shape of the world centuries ago. It's my own fault for losing interest after seeing the eclipse. Definitely recommend if you'd like to learn more about eclipses.

An excellent idea & the concept. The diagrams/drawings are fantastic - even a few pages that unfold for a much larger images.

I so very much wanted to enjoy this - even borrowed from hubby‘s shelves. The explanations are so oversimplified that it makes reading difficult, imo. I really disliked & fail to understand the name changes (i.e. bathroom to water room🤦🏻‍♀️)

The book “The Selfish Gene”, created by Richard Dawkins, is an award winning book about the understanding of natural selection and evolution. Richard Dawkins explains and describes how genes could be both selfish and altruistic, while providing basic context behind the information to better help the reader understand. The book is packed with knowledge about evolution and natural selection, even going as far as explaining life from the start.

“Earth is part of the solar system.“

This book was published in 2020. This book provides a lot of information on the planets in our solar system. This book can be good to introduce space before the unit. Many students are interested in space and want to learn more about it. This book could become a resource to those students.

I thought this book was very informational and gave a detailed description of all the different types of planets in our solar system.
