their other inventive toys and movie ventures in this illustrated
nonfiction book! Find out the origin the name "LEGO." (Hint: it

Gaze in wonder, kids and adults! Feast your eyes, superheroes and
sidekicks! It’s the one, the only… UniPig! But whatever you do,
don’t agree to play Hide and Seek with him. And definitely
don’t let him be the one to hide first. If you do, you’ll never
find him again. After all, he’s the greatest hider you’ve
ever—or should I say never—seen! (At least, that’s what
UniPig will tell you.) Patrick Hueller has written a hilarious
interactive picture book about a young pig who imagines he is an
extremely rare UniPig (part pig, part unicorn). Speaking directly
to the reader (and at times the reader's "sidekick"), UniPig
challenges anyone and everyone to try to find him in the book.
Because UniPigs are so rare, and so good at hiding, no one ever
sees them! Behold! It's UniPig! is a perfect read-aloud that
will have kids and parents alike laughing out loud.
In the 25 years since the 'Bodmer Report' kick-started the public
understanding of science movement, there has been something of a
revolution in science communication. However, despite the
ever-growing demands of the public, policy-makers and the media,
many scientists still find it difficult to successfully explain and
publicise their activities or to understand and respond to people's
hopes and concerns about their work. Bringing together experienced
and successful science communicators from across the academic,
commercial and media worlds, this practical guide fills this gap to
provide a one-stop resource covering science communication in its
many different forms. The chapters provide vital background
knowledge and inspiring ideas for how to deal with different
situations and interest groups. Entertaining personal accounts of
projects ranging from podcasts, to science festivals, to
student-run societies give working examples of how scientists can
engage with their audiences and demonstrate the key ingredients in
successful science communication.
Some works have examined the first and temporary abolition of
French colonial slavery during the French Revolutionary era, but
relatively little is known about the second French abolitionist
movement that culminated in the freeing of a quarter of a million
slaves in 1848. This book fills the huge gap in existing
historiography by providing a detailed study of French anti-slavery
forces during this period, explaining why France abolished colonial
slavery fifteen years later than Britain but fifteen years before
emancipation in the United States. It traces the largely political
struggle of a cautious, elitist group of humanitarians against a
well-organized colonial lobby and a largely indifferent July
Monarchy government. The few radical, determined abolitionists,
like the black Cyrille Bissette, were too marginal to move French
public opinion and bring about abolition until the Revolution of
1848 brought the Second Republic to power.
From an Idea to Google is a behind-the-computer-screen look into
the history, business, and brand of the world's largest search
engine. With humorous black & white illustrations throughout,
learn about the company that even earned its own catchphrase:
Google it! Today, Google is the number one internet search engine
and the most visited website in the world. But a long time ago, two
college friends, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, started out with just
an idea. Find out more about Google's history, the business, and
the brand in this illustrated nonfiction book! Find out where the
name "Google" came from. (Hint: It involves a LOT of zeros!)
Discover how Google became the fastest and most popular internet
search engine of all time. Explore how Google transformed from a
tiny startup (in someone's garage!) into one of the most powerful
companies in the world.
World population is forecast to grow from 7 to 9 billion by 2050, 1
in 6 is already hungry and food production must increase by 70-100%
if it is to feed this growing population. No single solution will
solve this problem but recent developments in the genetic
technologies of plant breeding can help to increase agricultural
efficiencies and save people from hunger in a sustainable manner,
particularly in African nations where the need is greatest. These
advances can rapidly incorporate new traits and tailor existing
crops to meet new requirements and also greatly reduce the time and
costs taken to improve local crop varieties. This book provides a
collected, reliable, succinct review which deals expressly with the
successful implementation of the new plant genetic sciences in
emerging economies in the context of the interrelated key
regulatory, social, ethical, political and trade matters.
There is a major demand for people with scientific training in a
wide range of professions based on and maintaining relations with
science. However, there is a lack of good first-hand information
about alternative career paths to research. From entrepreneurship,
industry and the media to government, public relations, activism
and teaching, this is a readable guide to science based skills,
lifestyles and career paths. The ever-narrowing pyramid of
opportunities within an academic career structure, or the prospect
of a life in the laboratory losing its attraction, mean that many
who trained in science and engineering now look for alternative
careers. Thirty role models who began by studying many different
disciplines give personal guidance for graduates, postgraduates and
early-career scientists in the life sciences, physical sciences and
engineering. This book is an entertaining resource for ideas about,
and directions into, the many fields which they may not be aware of
or may not have considered.
