Synopsis
Poems of the Planets’ highly original approach makes learning science exciting for everyone. Primarily intended for students ages 9 - 14, readers of all ages relish and learn from these poems and the detailed explanations that accompany them. Tour our entire solar system: The Sun, the eight planets, many moons, asteroids, the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Reference numbers lead from the poems to expanded information and additional, often-surprising details. Each poem is unique and fascinating: For example, while one poem examines the intensely corrosive atmosphere of Venus, another explains the origin of 400 huge active volcanoes on a moon of Jupiter, and still another spotlights the wacky actions of the tiny moons that circle within Saturn's brilliant rings. Learn much more than astronomy: You'll acquire important basic concepts in chemistry, physics, biology, geology, and oceanography, as well as topics in geography, history and mythology. These interrelationships create a better understanding of our amazing solar system. Still more is to be learned in the extensive tutorial glossary of nearly 200 terms. Poems of the Planets engages readers of every age in a mesmerizing journey of scientific wonder. Editorial Reviews "An ingenious and comprehensive presentation of our solar system, Poems of the Planets teaches the kind of all-inclusive science that students need in order to understand how it all works." DR. CHARLES ELACHI, (FORMER) DIRECTOR OF JPL (2001-2016); EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF PLANETARY SCIENCE, CALTECH "A multi-curricular volume, Poems of the Planets is a rich trove enhanced by vibrant photography and comprehensive information, bringing the solar system into sharp focus. I look forward to sharing it with my students." ANNE FARLEY SCHOEFFLER, IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT, NATIONAL MIDDLE LEVEL SCIENCE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
