An original retelling of a classic Taoist tale. Once upon a time,
there was a tiny grain of sand. Its life was rather boring, until
one day it made a wish. Suddenly the grain of sand found out what
it might be like to be something else – but is the grass always
greener? This rendition of a classic fable tackles an age-old
question: how can you be happy with your lot in a world full of
temptation? With bold, contemporary illustrations and a rhythmic
and witty text, this book is funny, lively and wise.
While Glaciers Slept weaves together the parallel stories of what
happens when the climates of a family and a planet change. Dr. M
Jackson reveals how these events are deeply intertwined, and how
the deterioration of her parents’ health was as devastating as
the inexorable changing of Earth’s climate.
Nonetheless, the book shows that even in the darkest of times
we cannot lose hope.Dr. Jackson guides us to solar, wind, and
geothermal solutions, bringing us along on her expeditions to
research climate change and to educate people about how to stop it.
Scientists are continually looking for better ways to translate
hard science into human language and that is precisely what this
book does. Climate change, she convinces us, is not just about
science—it is also about the audacity of human courage and
imagination.

Recent advances in biotechnology in areas as diverse as
agriculture, the environment, food, and healthcare have led to much
debate and media attention. This unique reference resource for
advanced high school students and teachers explores the science
behind these new technologies and examines the stakeholders and
their stakes in the various debates. The author presents views of
scientists, doctors, insurance companies, and big businesses, among
others, on such issues as genetic testing, patenting of human gene
sequences, cloning, and genetically engineered food.
Each chapter addresses a specific issue with the goals of
helping readers understand all the different ways biotechnology is
being explored and implemented in our lives today, as well as to
critically perceive the arguments being made concerning these
issues. Students will learn there is more to biotechnology than
cloning sheep, that it is also used for such purposes as making
cheese and beer. Each topic is presented as a Case Study describing
of a range of technologies and a diversity of stakeholders that
will allow users to draw their own conclusions. This introduction
to the technologies and the debates surrounding them also
encourages students to take advantage of the many available sources
for further research, particularly on the Internet.

"A house is not a home for wild things; wild things need to run,
and soar, and swim." In the quiet dawn of the spring forest a boy
finds an orphan fawn, hungry and alone. He carefully carries her
home, caring for her while she grows strong. The boy and the fawn
become inseparable. Together they spend long summer days running
through the glen, leaping over the heather, and lying in the
dappled sunlight. But the young deer is a wild thing and too soon
she is ready to discover a home of her own. The boy misses his
friend and worries for her when a big storm threatens. Can the boy
and the fawn find each other again? Are some bonds stronger than
goodbye? Lyrical and atmospheric, this beautiful picture book by
award-winning author Louise Greig and emerging illustrator Júlia
Moscardó is an uplifting story of belonging, the enduring
connection between humans and nature, and a tender lesson in
learning when to let go of those you love.
Filled with simple, black-and white images including a dump truck,
fire truck, car transporter, concrete mixer and many more. Just use
the brush provided to sweep water over the designs and vibrant
colours magically appear! Great for keeping little ones busy and
helping them learn brush control skills at the same time. Simply
