Can one single species change an entire ecosystem?

Learn the answer in Susan E. Quinlan’s new book: One Single Species: Why the Connections in Nature Matter which tells the story of Dr. Robert T. Paine’s landmark ecological research on ochre sea stars.

“The beautiful illustrations in this remarkable explanation of one of the most important ecological studies of the 20th century really helps to bring the rocky intertidal ecosystem of the NW coast alive. … Science teachers will find this book particularly useful.” —Victoria Jordan, Middle School Science Teacher, Colorado State University Teacher-in-Residence, National Science Teachers Association Distinguished Teacher 2016

Through clear text and vivid, colorful artwork, One Single Species reveals the story of Paine’s important and creative research, along with his surprising findings.

You will…

  • Discover a host of curious creatures that live in the rocky intertidal
  • Learn that scientific research begins with careful observations and a question
  • Follow along as a renowned scientist designs a clever field experiment
  • Be surprised by the striking results of his study
  • Develop a deeper understanding of the ways all of nature is tied together

"What a vibrant resource for young people to learn the vital role of a keystone species in an ecosystem! … I would use this book with learners of any age, even with adults new to environmental learning, as the beautiful artwork and succinct, accurate text clearly convey a rather abstract concept. " — Janet Carrier Ady, Ph.D., Environmental Educator

This intriguing book brings ecological science to life and inspires you to look more carefully for connections in the natural world. With interesting examples of interconnections among varied species around the world, One Single Species helps develop an appreciation of nature’s remarkable complexity.

One Single Species is a gem, in its clearly written text and revealing art. … This book will be useful in STEM programs, and there is nothing quite like it in school libraries.” Laurence Pringle, Author of 120 books for children

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
