una manera destinta de percibir el tiempo

- 8 Want to read
"El universo siempre está en acción, va tan rápido que hay miles de detalles que nos escapan. Por eso intentamos medir los sucesos con el tiempo. Pero, ¿Qué es el tiempo? ¿Qué tanto puede ocurrir en un segundo, un minuto o una hora? En un segundo, un jet se desplaza cerca de 224 metros; en un minuto el corazón del elefante late 30 veces; en una hora, una pulga pone 100 huevos. ¡Sólo imagínate lo que seguramente ocurre en un día o en un año!" --P. [4] of cover.

Work Description
"This non-fiction picture book explores time and how we think about it in a different way - as a series of events in the natural world (some of them directly observable, others not) that take place in a given unit of time. Steve Jenkins' extraordinary illustrations will accompany this engaging look at time. Just a Second is visualized as a linear series of illustrations and captions, starting with a second, a minute, an hour, a month, and a year. What happens in a second? A gnat beats its wings 1000 times. A hummingbird beats its wings 75 times. A shrew's heart beats 13 times. A bat squeaks and listens for an echo 10 times. A dropped stone falls 16 feet. Earth travels 18 miles in its trip around the sun. A cheetah can run 100 feet"--
