Book Review: The No-Brainer Brain Explainer
Human brains are pretty amazing, allowing us to think, feel, create, communicate, move and more. But humans aren’t the only animals with cool brains, as Crab Museum explains in the book The No-Brainer Brain Explainer (illustrated by Bruno Valasse).
This book, aimed at kids in grades 1-4, is colorful and silly but also educational about how brains actually work, with billions of neurons sending electrical and chemical signals around the body.
“Everything we think, feel and experience comes from an electrical relay race, with neurons passing chemical batons to each other,” the book says. “The constant chatter of billions of brain cells creates your entire world.”
The book compares the brains of mammals to those of crabs (the book is “written” by a crab after all) and notes that crabs have fewer neurons and of course are much smaller, but they have separate parts of their brains that control their eyes and their legs. Crabs are also capable of remembering things, using tools and solving puzzles.
Some animals’ brains allow them to know more about their world in different ways from humans, such as spiders being sensitive to vibrations in their webs and catfish having an amazing sense of taste, with taste sensors all over their bodies.
It notes that 95 percent of brain activity goes toward things we do unconsciously, like breathing, walking and catching a ball flying toward us. It also talks about dreams, memory, how our emotions try to predict the future, where brains came from and fun facts about brains. For example, did you know a sperm whale is believed to have the biggest brain of any creature that’s even lived? Their brains weigh 18 pounds, compared to just 2.5 pounds for humans.
Information on what creatures have the smallest brains, the toughest brains, the most brains and those who actually eat their own brains will delight kids (and maybe gross them out a little bit). They’ll also enjoy learning about the mycelium network of fungi, which is like a brain without a body, and slime molds, which are like a brain without a brain.
It ends talking about why human brains are so special because we’ve found ways to work together, communicate and build communities on a scale bigger than any other animal.
Kids and adults alike will enjoy this colorful, silly and informational book about brains!

With good looking style,diverse styles,these are the reasons why many women rush for shop alloy jewelry. Many people begin to feel: Although gold, platinum and gold jewelry worth money and show your taste, but “all are made with the same style, without too many choices”, something regret is more than extravagance, fashion.
Compared to platinum, gold which with slightly monotonous template style, alloy jewellery with “personality looks” naturally became a major selling point, especially with the clothes, full play its characteristics, alloy jewelry more choice use yellow copper,14K gold,etc., and then with artificial crystal, shell, pearl, exquisitely crafted, using electroplating, painting and other craft, made of a variety of shapes jewelry, alloy jewelry material is not precious as the gold, platinum. However, ductility and hardness of the metal itself are more ideal, and therefore to create a bit more suitable for fashion and new wave of products.
Material is not rare, which does not prevent alloy jewelry scoring in the high-end jewelry market. Some brand jewelry say they do not rely on rare but on style and design into the market. Many brands are advertised as “handmade, international designed,” and a small quantity of each kind of style, the product rarely “Crash” to meet the individual needs of women.
Hand, international, limited edition and other words would have a negligible effect to raise the jewelry for the price. It is understood that the Alloy Necklaces store counter sales price of more than one thousand yuan at the start, with the crystal and so on, prices have to rise to three thousand yuan is not expensive. Even small pieces of accessories, earrings, mobile phone chain, one should also cost hundreds yuan.
