Bang up to date with the new EYFS this exciting series of books
helps practitioners working with 3-5 year olds integrate the newly
revised 7 areas of learning and 19 aspects into their planning and
day to day activity. Owing to the fun, practical nature of the
activities it is suitable for a wide range of setting, including
schools, pre-schools, childminders and nurseries. Through the
topic-based approach children will be involved in playing and
exploring, active learning and creating and thinking critically.
Each book contains six weeks of highly detailed planning with an
activity for each specific area of learning. A unique feature of
the series is the differentiation - activities are pitched at
expected, emerging and exceeding levels so the practitioner can
meet the needs of all the children in her setting.
Have you ever wondered how the wheel was invented or who created
the first video game? Do you understand how the internet works and
why vaccines save lives? Are you aware that fossil fuels not only
power cars and planes, but are also used to generate the
electricity that powers almost everything else? Do you know about
alternative energy sources and how they work? Would you like to
know more about robotic surgery, vertical farming or gene therapy?
Then this is the book for you!

From million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel comes a
laugh-out-loud and inspiring new adventure for all readers of 8 and up
that is ahead of its time – 1,001 years ahead, to be precise…
The year is 3020.
Pip@256X#YY.3_7 is lonely and bored: she goes to virtual school on her
G-Glasses, she only has a talking cat and parrot to hang out with, and
she can’t even leave her LivingSpace due to the extreme heat and floods
outside.
Until the day that Pip explores a glowing ring in a lab and finds
herself in a warehouse, in 2019.
Where she meets boy-inventor Rahul – who is also lonely and bored.
Together, Rahul and Pip are no longer lonely. But they have a whole
load of new problems, including hiding talking animals from Rahul’s
parents, and finding a way back to the future.
Plus – just maybe – saving the world…
Future Friend is a terrifically entertaining time-slip adventure that
combines action, laugh-out-loud humour and the importance of
friendship, in a story that asks the question – what would happen if
your best friend came from the future?
Striking illustrations and an empowering story combine to introduce
young readers to the world of maths, creative thinking and
problem-solving. Setting off on a camping adventure with her
cousin, Aliyah soon discovers that numbers are everywhere, whether
it's counting out money at the shops, planning trips on the train
or even stargazing in a forest. As Aliyah solves some sums of her
own, she learns about the brilliant mathematicians who have helped
us understand our world. Soon she can't wait to become a maths
whizz too! With pages encouraging kids to play maths games with
their friends, this brilliant picture book written by engineer and
TV presenter Dr Shini Somara unlocks a love of numbers and creative
thinking, and celebrates women in STEM. Also available in the
series: - A Scientist Like Me - A Coder Like Me - An Engineer Like

This 4-volume set focuses on the use of microbial bioremediation
and phytoremediation to clean up pollutants in soil, such as
pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, and chlorinated
solvents, which reduce the soil's fertility and renders it unfit
for plant growth. The volumes cover the many diverse eco-friendly
microbial bioremediation and phytoremediation techniques for
sustainable soil management. Bioremediation and Phytoremediation
Technologies in Sustainable Soil Management: Volume 1: Fundamental
Aspects and Contaminated Sites begins with an overview of
phytoremediation and phytotechnologies and the role of
environmental factors. It goes on to introduce soil assessment
techniques and offers methods of remediation designed to combat
soil and agricultural degradation. Attention is given to specific
types of sites and soil pollution, such as soils contaminated by
heavy metals; microbial and phytoremediation-based removal of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from coal, crude oil, and
gasoline; microbial bioremediation and amelioration of
pesticide-contaminated soils; phytoremediation techniques for
biomedical waste contaminated sites; as well as biomediation
processes for human waste sites. Biopesticides are also explained
in the book as an alternative to conventional pesticides as well as
the possibilities for the improvement of modern bio-pesticides.
Volume 2: Microbial Approaches and Recent Trends focuses on new and
emerging techniques and approaches to address soil pollution. These
include the use of rhizobacteria, archae, cyanobacteria, and
microalgae as biofertilizers and for soil bioremediation efforts.
New technologies for assessment of soil bioremediation are explored
also. The chapters provides in-depth coverage of the mechanisms,
advantages, and disadvantages of the technologies used and
highlights the use of different microbial enzymes that are used in
the process of bioremediation and phytoremediation to clean up
different pollutants without causing damage to the natural
environment. Volume 3: Inventive Techniques, Research Methods, and
Case Studies is organized in three themes: plants in green
remediation, tools and techniques in bioremediation and
phytoremediation, and special sites and their remediation
techniques. Innovative new techniques that advance the use of
molecular biological approaches, nanotechnology, immobilization,
vermicomposting and genetic modification developments are
investigated to take advantage of these possibilities. Volume 4:
Degradation of Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls addresses
pesticide degradation, PCBs degradation, and genetic interventions.
It begins by describing environment pesticide degradation,
mechanisms and sustainability, microbes and microbial enzymes,
plant microbe interactions, organophosphorus degradations and
endosulfan degradation. It then goes on to discuss PCBs and
degradation, cypermethrin, degradation by Phanerochaete
chrysosporium, carvone and surfactants for degradation of PCBs. The
book also advocates for genetic systems for degradation of PCBs and
pesticides, with discussion of the different advantages and
disadvantages for each strategy and the various techniques.
Together, these four volumes provide in-depth coverage of the
mechanisms, advantages, and disadvantages of the bioremediation and
phytoremediation technologies for safe and sustainable soil
management. The diverse topics help to arm biologists, agricultural
engineers, environmental and soil scientists and chemists with the
information and tools they need to address soil toxins that are a
dangerous risk to plants, wildlife, humans and, of course, the soil
itself.
