Have you ever wondered what a badland is? What about a gulch? Do you wonder what an isthmus is? Or a seamount? What about the difference between a plateau and a plain, or a knob and a knoll? Well, here are the answers! The sixty-three entries from A to Z describe the earth's features -- its physical geography -- from the highest mountain peak to the deepest ocean trench, in clear, concise terms. Each entry is beautifully illustrated in full color. This is a perfect introduction to the dramatic and fascinating face of the vast world around us. The author and artist of the best-selling MAPS & GLOBES team up again, this time to prove that geography can indeed be an adventure.
Help your child learn all about science with First Science
Encyclopedia. Filled with fun science facts about many different
subjects, from the human body and animals to facts about space and
matter. From the blood and breathing to rocks and minerals, kids
will love getting to grips with this exciting encyclopedia. Perfect
for homework or just for fun, First Science Encyclopedia is the
ideal starting place for young scientists aged 5 and up.
It's one-stop shopping for everything scary: a survey of over 50 of
the world's most gruesome places, creatures, and scary stories,
organised like an encyclopedia - from "arachnids" to "Zombies" and
written just for kids. It blends nonfiction (How do you say "boo"
in other languages? Can a person actually be scared to death?) with
fiction (stories of creepy monsters from around the world), and
hands-on activities (from applying zombie makeup to creating your
own ghost stories). Take a tour of Borneo's Gomantong Cave where
bats, cockroaches, spiders, and rats live together in the millions
among the pitch black. Or enter into the Beauregard-Keyes House in
New Orleans where Civil War soldiers still do battle in the front
hall. Discover the origins of mythical horrors straight out of your
nightmares like the Mongolian Death Worm and The Bell Witch, as
well as creatures we only wish were fiction like killer bees, the
deadly insects created by scientists in a failed lab experiment in
1950. Identify plants like the Machineel of Southern Florida and
Central America, a tropical tree covered in succulent looking fruit
full of deadly, mouth burning, throat swelling poison. Read and
share ghost stories from around the globe that will make you and
your friends jump. Plus DIY activities: Create your own haunting;
brew up a batch of fake blood; hold you own seance.

The cool story of volcanoes will intrigue kids and adults alike.
Hot melted rock from the middle of our planet forces its way up
through cracks in the Earth's crusts, exploding violently and
sometimes unexpectedly in volcanic fury that can terrorize
populations for months, even years. Anne Schreiber's narrative
gives readers a little of the science, a little of the history, and
a lot of the action. National Geographic photography fires the
imagination on dramatic spreads alive with vivid images of lava,
ash, molten rock, weird rocks, and steaming seawater.
