Have you ever looked up and wondered what's going on high up in the
skies above your eyes? Take a journey up into the air, through the
atmosphere, way out into space and back down to Earth in this
richly illustrated concertina book. Zoom past the technology that
fills our skies, from helicopters, fighter jets, weather balloons,
to satellites, hang-gliders and hot-air balloons. Discover the
insects and animals that whizz through the skies, explore the
layers of the atmosphere, and travel through the solar system and
out to the galaxies far beyond. The follow up to The Street Beneath
My Feet, which dug down to the center of the Earth, this expansive
concertina book opens out to an impressive 2.5 metres, perfect for
inquisitive young minds. Begin your journey from the sidewalk of a
busy city. Look up beyond the traffic lights, utility wires, and
skyscrapers. Unfold the connected pages to reveal the incredible
man-made sights that you would see 20 kilometres above (a weather
balloon), 50 kilometres above (a rocket blasting a capsule into
space), 100 kilometres above (a space plane and satellites), 400
kilometres above (the International Space Station), 380,000
kilometres above (the Moon) and through our Solar System. Turn to
the top of the other side to make your way beyond the Solar System
to the hundreds of billions of galaxies filled with stars and
planets we haven't discovered yet. Then start your journey back
down through the amazing natural wonders you would see 10,000
kilometres above (a comet), 85 kilometres above (meteoroids burning
up as they enter Earth's atmosphere), 11 kilometres above (a
cumulonimbus cloud bringing thunder and lightning), 8 kilometres
above (migrating storks), and down through the mountains, past
trees, bats and butterflies to finally reach the ground again -
this time in a grassy clearing of a forest, where you can imagine
yourself lying on your back wondering at the thought of the whole
universe above your head. From jet trails to comets' tails, enjoy
amazing sights as you journey through the skies. Explore even more
of the world with The Street Beneath My Feet (March 2017) and The
World Around Me (October 2020), companion books from the Look
Closer series.
A rousing and radical investigation into the climate crisis, its
causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by
it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study
of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third
title in the NYT #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll
gain a deeper understanding of climate change and climate justice.
Our planet is in crisis. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are
rising, wildfires are raging... and those most affected by global
warming are marginalised communities across the globe. But all is
not lost - there's still time for each and every one of us to make
a difference. Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany
Sigwalt lays out the framework for how we can come together to
fight climate change, and how we can work to put people over
profit. The planet is not protected if all its inhabitants are not;
the people are not protected if the planet they inhabit is not. In
this book, you will: Discover the core principles of climate
justice Learn how solidarity, community and mutual aid can change
the world Find out how to use your privilege to stand-up for other
people At the end of each chapter, there are activities and calls
to action to get you thinking and to grow your knowledge. All you
need is a pen and a piece of paper. With kaleidoscopic and vibrant
illustrations by artist Aurelia Durand, this book is written for
everyone who lives on planet Earth. By the end, you'll have the
tools you need to go out and make a difference. The Empower the
Future series is a collection of vital and urgent books about how
we can all build a better world. Other titles in the list include
This Book is Feminist and This Book is Anti-Racist.
