Do you know why rainforests are called 'lungs of the world'? Or the
'beating hearts' of the planet? The Earth's Essential Rainforests
will answer these questions and more. They shape our weather, are
home to most of the world's plant and animal species, and are our
planet's oldest living ecosystems. Meticulously researched by
experts, curious young readers will quickly learn about these vast
ecosystems and how these ancient forests are at risk. They will
learn key terminology and facts so that they can speak about our
rainforests with confidence. The Earth's Essential Rainforests
explains the importance of rainforests. The illustrations,
photographs, rainforest heroes and 'Speak like a Scientist'
sections examine facts about the rainforest, tell of their
astonishing biodiversity, and explore how we must protect them.
This handy-sized book, with glossary and index, is the perfect way
to get to know our rainforests and to understand how dependent our
planet is on them. Author Isabel Thomas studied Human Sciences at
Oxford University and in 2020 won an AAAS Subaru Prize for
Excellence In Science Books. Consultant Dr Alda Cuná½·-Sanchez
is a Professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and has
studied rainforests for 15 years. The Earth's Essential Rainforests
is part of a collectible set. If you love this title, why not
collect them all?
