TV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events
ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the
most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our
planet. Whether you're 9 or 90, his unique exploration of the most
destructive, yet most creative, force in nature makes top level
science fun. Here are the superstars of the story of life, from the
super-weird to the super-ferocious. Usually a species has 10
million years or so of evolving, eating, chasing, playing, maybe
doing homework, or even going to the moon before it goes extinct.
Thylacine was super-hunted. Wiped out by humans. The last wild
thylacine was shot in 1930, and the last captive one died in 1936.
We humans are the only species with the power to eliminate other
species from the story of life. But who are the winners and losers?
In this atlas of the world, children will find a different

which continent they belong on. Play with them and learn everything
about their habitat. The book also includes QR codes for
informative animal videos.
An amazing insight into the lives of these intelligent and

the natural world. Elephants are the largest and heaviest creatures
on land. You can discover the complex way in which these remarkable

In autumn, a strong wind blows flower seeds high in the air and
carries them far across the land. One by one, many of the seeds are
lost -- burned by the sun, fallen into the ocean, eaten by a bird.
But some survive the long winter and, come spring, sprout into
plants, facing new dangers -- trampled by playing children, picked
as a gift for a friend. Soon only the tiniest seed remains, growing
into a giant flower and, when autumn returns, sending its own seeds
into the wind to start the process over again.
