Flash Cards of Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America: Set One--Major Classes and Orders

Flash Cards of Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America

Flash cards are recognized as an effective teaching/learning tool because they use visualization to associate information. Since 2002, images and information about freshwater invertebrates in J. Reese Voshell's popular book A Guide to Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America have been used by teachers and students at all levels and in biomonitoring activities by a wide range of people from citizen volunteers to professional scientists.

SET ONE covers the major classes and orders of freshwater invertebrates. This set would be basic to teaching/learning biology and ecology at the K-12 levels, for interpretation and outreach activity, and for biomonitoring of freshwater streams and ponds.

Now available.

(Flash cards Set Two and Set Three released February 2010.)

QuickGuide to Major Groups of Freshwater Invertebrates

Flash Cards of Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America

Reese Voshell's popular book A Guide to Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America is a simple and effective guide with which common, widespread freshwater organisms can be identified to the taxonomic level of Class or Order, levels that are often satisfactory for teaching the principles of freshwater ecology and biological monitoring of freshwater streams and ponds. This guide is ideal for beginning and intermediate users wanting to learn about different body structures in these invertebrates and how to use these differences to identify the organisms.

Rainbows of Rock, Tables of Stone

The Natural Arches and Pillars of Ohio

Rainbows of Rock Rainbows of Rock, Tables of Stone is an exploration of the natural arches and pillars of Ohio. The heart of the book is the identification, description, and interpretation of some 83 arches and 18 pillars known to occur in the state. Background information about the bedrock geology of Ohio, the methods of measuring and describing natural arches and pillars, the processes by which these features can be formed, and the ways that they are eventually removed from the landscape provide interesting and valuable context for better understanding the creation, destruction, and study of these unusual elements of the geological landscape. The names and locations of publicly accessible arches and pillars are given. Rainbows of Rock, Tables of Stone is the most extensive statewide review of natural arches and pillars known, and it will almost certainly become a model that will inspire and influence similar compilations for other states.

Now available.

 

Mr. Lincoln's Chair

Author Anita Sanchez tells the story of the Shakers from their tumultuous beginnings in the eighteenth century to the present day. It provides a broad overview of the Shaker history, culture, religion, life, and work, and presents the Shakers against the backdrop of the Civil War, contrasting their peaceful and productive lives with the carnage of America's bloodiest battles.
