causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by
it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study
of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third
title in the NYT #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll
gain a deeper understanding of climate change and climate justice.
Our planet is in crisis. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are
rising, wildfires are raging... and those most affected by global
warming are marginalised communities across the globe. But all is
not lost - there's still time for each and every one of us to make
a difference. Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany
Sigwalt lays out the framework for how we can come together to
fight climate change, and how we can work to put people over

the people are not protected if the planet they inhabit is not. In
this book, you will: Discover the core principles of climate
justice Learn how solidarity, community and mutual aid can change
the world Find out how to use your privilege to stand-up for other
people At the end of each chapter, there are activities and calls
to action to get you thinking and to grow your knowledge. All you
need is a pen and a piece of paper. With kaleidoscopic and vibrant
illustrations by artist Aurelia Durand, this book is written for
everyone who lives on planet Earth. By the end, you'll have the
tools you need to go out and make a difference. The Empower the
Future series is a collection of vital and urgent books about how
we can all build a better world. Other titles in the list include
This Book is Feminist and This Book is Anti-Racist.
This book presents research in Geoscience Education focusing on
indoor and outdoor environments in which teaching geoscience gains
particular relevance, significance and contextualization. The
research areas that are presented throughout the thirteen chapters
cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from educational resources
and fieldwork to science models. Chapters discuss specific
geoscience topics such as earthquakes, rocks, fossils and minerals.
Other chapters present a more interdisciplinary approach addressing
topics that aren't usually examined, such as geomedicine and
geoethics, with a specific focus on sustainable development and
their alignment with the school curricula. Throughout the book
readers can find research-based arguments illustrated with
practical examples, which will help them to innovate in their
curriculum development area, classroom practices and pre and
in-service teachers' education. The book challenges readers to
improve Geoscience Education by changing the ways of teaching, by
enabling students to exploit their natural curiosity, and by
spurring a learning process that should not be confined to the
classroom but rather maintained throughout life.

'A beautifully illustrated book which shows the importance of
teamwork in developing new ideas' Books for Keeps On 24th November
1859, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was first
published, selling out almost immediately. Describing the now well
known theory that humans evolved through a process called natural
selection, it became an instant classic and cemented Darwin as one
of the greatest biologists of all time. However, he couldn't have
done it without the support, encouragement and advice from those
who believed in him. None more so than Joseph Hooker, his friend,
confidant and fellow collector, who supported and helped Darwin
when he didn't dare ask anyone else. Hooker, too, had his own
adventures and made his own discoveries - many of which not only
aided Darwin, but went on to change what the world knew about
plants. Becoming head of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, he came to be
one the world's most influential botanists. Across many years,
countless adventures and numerous letters, this captivating and
wonderfully illustrated book tells the story of one of greatest
friendships to happen to science. Publishing in partnership with
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this book will show children how
teamwork, curiosity, openness and trust can be the greatest tools a
scientist will ever need. They might even help you change the
world.
Glass explores what glass is, where it comes from, how it s made,
