By: Jessica Stremer | Illustrator: Gordy Wright | Series: Books for a Better EarthAn outstanding STEM picture book documenting the transformation of an aircraft carrier that was gutted and turned into the world’s largest artificial reef.
What happens when something designed to be unsinkable gets bombed to the bottom of the ocean floor? With careful preparation, new life can take root!
This incredible story brings young readers along on the journey of the aircraft carrier USS Oriskany—the Mighty O—as it gets stripped down to a steel shell for a new life below the waves. After 25 years of service, launching more aircraft than any other carrier of its time, the ship found a new mission as an artificial reef off the coast of Florida. The Mighty O was prepped and reefed by a team of more than 150 scientists, engineers, and technicians. Today, it is home to a flourishing variety of marine animals.
Designed to encourage regrowth and protect vulnerable marine life, artificial reefs are a crucial tool in the fight against overfishing, pollution, and warming water temperatures. Extensive back matter reveals more about the Mighty O’s history, the diseases eating away at the world’s natural reef systems, and the role artificial reefs play under the sea, and budding marine biologists will love poring over the exquisite illustrations.
Books for a Better Earth are designed to inspire children to become active, knowledgeable participants in caring for the planet they live on.

Everything is great with this mouse. It is comfortable, responsive, and easy to use. The wireless connection works perfectly, and the battery lasts a long time. Very good value for the price, I highly recommend it.

Recommended for sure ts peak
Color: Matte Black
Not really the best at explaining, but here's something simple :v
This mouse works very well for everything in my opinion, especially gaming. It does has silent clicks, but as a GD player I click the mouse kinda hard, and it's a bit louder but that's ONLY because of the way I click. The mouse is very responsive and pretty comfortable, although I have no Idea what a 10/10 comfortable mouse feels like. This mouse is durable, don't ask how it happened, but it's survived a few drops and still works perfectly. As far as connectivity and compatibility, I'm not exactly sure, but it connected to my Windows 11 as soon as I plugged the driver in, it also connected to my PS5 without issues. To easily tell the size, it's about as wide as an apple, and as long as maybe half of a normal-sized water bottle. The 3 bars of lighting that show the battery percentage aren't exactly the brightest, but it's easy to tell that the mouse is on and how much battery it has. The easily accessible customizable DPI button has about 4 levels to choose from, which all work well, level 1 is pretty slow and level 4 is fast if you're unfamiliar with higher DPI. The 3rd setting for the DPI is very easy to control, I feel like it follows my movements at a very nice speed.

Nice yellow mouse
Color: matte yellow
The mouse is really nice, comfortable, and easy to use. It stands out on my computer desk thanks to its yellow color. It is wireless and charges via USB—it doesn't use batteries, which I’ve found to be excellent so far. I haven't been using it for very long, so I don't know how long the charge lasts.

A reliable mouse for people who don't need all the bells and whistles.
Color: Matte Black
I wanted a mouse without all the bells and whistles. I don't care about programming my mouse or having 18 ways to move it remotely. All I want is an ergonomic point and click device. This mouse meets my requirements. I give it four stars because, on waking my computer, the cursor is "frozen" until I click it. And, the mouse is a bit small for my hand. These nits aside, this mouse is perfect for my needs.

Reliable mouse.
Color: Matte Black
Amazing mouse if you want something simple for work, has good click sounds, doesn't need to be charged often, and is easy to transport! It also is really good for smoothness and comforting on grip.
