REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

"This is a fascinating book for anyone, not just teachers & kids. I've been curious about tardigrades ever since I saw a picture of one. They are pretty amazing animals that are as close as you can get to indestructible, withstanding temperatures that would kill most other creatures." - Maureen A. Carr - 5 Star Amazon Review

"The discussion on microscopy is particularly good -- especially the section about depth of field, and the comparison of stereo microscopes with compound microscopes. Indeed, even my college students and teachers in professional development classes sometimes have a difficult time grasping these concepts (higher mag is not always "better") Indeed, this book would be very useful for anyone interested in basic microscopy." - Karen Kalumuck - College Professor

"A wonderful guide. Clearly written as well as charming. My granddaughter used the book for an independent research project (2nd grade) and is now using it in her science fair project. Inspiring to budding young scientists." - Rona Ostrow - 5 Star Amazon Review

About the Author: Michael Shaw has written several books to assist teachers and young scientists. His scientific research consisted of the tardigrade population survey for the state of New Jersey.

Mr. Shaw's internet video went viral with over 11 million views, popularizing the tardigrade as "the first animal to survive in space."

Recently Mr. Shaw has appeared in a PBS video, and on TV Globo in Brazil on their most watched Sunday night program, Fantastico.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
