What can happen in just a second,,a minute, or an hour? How can we measure time?,The flap of a vultureâ€™s wing.,A crocodileâ€™s heartbeat.,The weight of a baby blue whale.,The life of a mayfly.,These increments of time may sound a bit strange, but they are all fascinating ways in which we can think about time.,But what exactly is time?,In ,Just a Second,, the award-winning author-illustrator Steve Jenkins brings forth unique ways to think about time beyond the hands we see every day on a ticking clock. Â  Â 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.
