Earth is big! (compared to a frog) Earth is small! (when it's
hiding in a galaxy) And that's not all. Earth is wet and dry, hot
and cold, round and jagged, fast and slow. You get the idea. It
depends how you look at it! Get to know our planet in a whole new
way by comparing it to a huge variety of other incredible things -
from tiny particles to giant star clusters. Did you know soap
bubbles are some of the roundest objects in the universe? Or that
we humans are totally outnumbered by chickens? Or that the driest
desert on Earth isn't scorching but freezing? Tour some of the most
extreme places on the planet and beyond it, take a look at life
forms from bacteria to elephants to redwood trees and explore what
makes our planet the perfect home for us. You'll never see Earth
the same way again!

Mount Everest is undoubtedly one of the most famous mountains on
Earth. Hundreds of people clamber to its summit every year,
following in Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's footsteps... but
there is so much more to this mountain than the people who climb
it. With sumptuous and stylish illustrations by Lisk Feng, this
dynamic book reveals the great mountain's ancient origins, the
flora and fauna that thrive upon its great flanks, and the rich
mythology of Sagarmatha, the Goddess of the Sky.
