This book explains, in simple language and with clear
illustrations, what the climate is, and how it is changing very
rapidly at the moment, and the effects this is having on our
planet. It tackles suggestions about what needs to change in the
way people live, from power stations to farming, and explains why
it's so difficult to do. Along the way, it also talks about what
individuals can do, including tips on how to keep a clear head and
not get overwhelmed by bad news.
Beautiful books make unforgettable Christmas gifts. This
pocket-sized treasure is the perfect gift for fans of nature,
language and rich artwork, adult and child alike! Kindred in spirit
to The Lost Words but fresh in its form, The Lost Spells introduces
a beautiful new set of natural spell-poems and artwork by beloved
creative duo Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. Each "spell"
conjures an animal, bird, tree or flower -- from Barn Owl to Red
Fox, Grey Seal to Silver Birch, Jay to Jackdaw -- with which we
share our lives and landscapes. Moving, joyful and funny, The Lost
Spells above all celebrates a sense of wonder, bearing witness to
nature's power to amaze, console and bring joy. Written to be read
aloud, painted in brushstrokes that call to the forest, field,
riverbank and also to the heart, The Lost Spells summons back what
is often lost from sight and care, teaching the names of everyday
species, and inspiring its readers to attention, love and care.
'Luminously beautiful. An amulet in dark times, to be carried like
a talisman out into the world, where it is very much needed' Dara
McAnulty 'A book about spells that succeeds in being spell-binding
in its own right . . . It already feels like a true classic. Buy
one copy for yourself and any others for as many children as you
can afford' Books for Keeps

Insects are everywhere and easy to find -- if you know where to
look. Minnesota Bug Hunt puts you on the trail for insects big and
small, fierce and friendly. Explore habitats as near your own
backyard and as focused as an oak tree or as populated as a swath
of forest, and use your senses to discover the bugs who share our
world. See those bright flowers? If theyre goldenrod, you might
find a Locust Borer Beetle feeding there. Listen carefully in a
patch of prairie for the rasping of a male Broad-winged Katydid as
he sings to find a mate. Bruce Giebink introduces you to creatures
familiar, like an earwig or firefly, and fascinating, like the
Cecropia Moth or the Acorn Weevil. He shares fun facts about where
they live and what they eat and how they protect themselves.
Astonishingly detailed photos by Bill Johnson bring beetles and
bumblebees, dragonflies and water bugs up close and personal so you
can marvel at their unique body parts and vibrant colours. Step
outside with your eyes wide open and a net or magnifying glass in
hand to discover these insects and many more on your own Minnesota
bug hunt. Entomologist Bruce Giebink -- better known as Bruce the
Bug Guy -- offers activities for children of all ages through his
entertainment company the Bug Zone. Award-winning photographer Bill
Johnsons work is featured in the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of
North America and in his Horticulture Magazine column, "Insect ID".
