R348 Discovery Miles 3 480 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

We Are All Animals offers children an awe-inspiring new way to understand the animal kingdom. This unique book reveals astonishing similarities in the anatomy – and many more characteristics - of humans and other animals, celebrating our entire furry, scaly, slimy, slippery, extended family. Did you know that most animal bodies, including ours, are shaped like tubes? Or that humans share 75% of their genes with chickens? That rats are ticklish, and dolphins give each other names? Children will be delighted to discover how similar they are to bats, bees, dogs, frogs, jellyfish, giraffes, and many more. By encouraging readers to make connections between distant corners of the animal kingdom, this book celebrates the extraordinary ways in which all of Earth’s creatures are connected. Created in partnership with the Humanimal Trust, a charity advocating collaboration between physicians and veterinarians, this book is underpinned by cutting-edge medical science. The charity’s founder - Professor Noel Fitzpatrick - is an internationally renowned veterinarian, who also stars in his own TV series, The Supervet (a nickname he has earned through the groundbreaking veterinary procedures he performs). He has written a foreword to the book, and his extensive medical expertise runs throughout every page.

Life on Earth is shaped by water, and only survives here because of it, but our ocean ecosystems are at the epicentre of global warming.

This enormous blue wilderness contains somewhere between half and three quarters of all life on Earth, including the biggest and most numerous creatures to ever live. But more than 90 per cent of Earth's warming since 1950 occurred in oceans, despite their vast capacity to absorb heat and CO2.

Framed by the need to protect our fragile oceans, Water World is natural-history illustrator Ben Rothery's rich exploration of the creatures from the coastal and offshore waters of the world - from penguins, seagulls, polar bears and seahorses, to plankton, sharks and deep-sea beings. Discover the longest migration and the loudest animal on Earth, and learn how our own actions affect the ocean, its inhabitants and our whole planet.
