Steve Backshall embarks on his most daring adventure yet. He has
just six months to travel to six continents and find 60 of the
deadliest creatures on the planet for the 26-part Children's BBC
series of the same name. From lethal beauties to killer beasts,
from the unseen to the unexpected, the one thing these creatures
have in common is that they are all deadly to other animals.
Steve's encounters range from famous killers such as the Black
Mamba and the North American Grizzly Bear to less well known but no
less deadly animals. He introduces the surreal Pink River Dolphin
of Amazonia and captures Australia's elusive Ghost Bat for a closer
look. Learn about the ingenious techniques and extraordinary
weapons that some of our most dangerous animals are armed with.
Including the renowned, the unexpected and the downright bizarre,
this companion book to Steve Backshall's high adrenaline tour of
the world's most deadly is not to be missed.

This middle grade edition of the groundbreaking bestseller by Doug
Tallamy will inspire kids to use their backyard to help save the
planet. Douglas W. Tallamy awakened thousands of readers to an
urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the
native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution?
Plant more natives. In this middle grade adaptation of the New York
Times bestseller Nature's Best Hope, Tallamy outlines his vision
for a grassroots approach to conservation that everyone can
participate in regardless of age. In Nature's Best Hope (Young
Readers' Edition), Tallamy empowers kids to use their own yards to
help combat the negative effects of climate change. He does so by
breaking down complex concepts into simple terms and real-world
examples that kids can easily grasp. Black and white photographs
help further clarify concepts. In addition to sharing the science,
Tallamy encourages kids to take direct action. Some of these ideas
include planting an oak tree (one of the most important tree
species) at home. If that's too large of a task, he suggests they
can plant asters--a beautiful flower whose pollen bees use to feed
their young. By helping the next generation see that they have
power and agency over our collective future, this empowering book
will drive home the positive point that kids are truly nature's
best hope.
