Scientists, engineers, academics and environmentalists warn that
unless water use is drastically reduced, severe water shortage will
affect the entire planet by 2040. But what does that mean? Why is
this happening? What should we do about it? Mind Mappers: Are We
Running Out of Water? unravels the issues and the answers.
Beautiful illustrations, a unique structure and straightforward
narrative make this an engaging, fascinating and illuminating read.
This book explains, in simple language and with clear
illustrations, what the climate is, and how it is changing very
rapidly at the moment, and the effects this is having on our
planet. It tackles suggestions about what needs to change in the
way people live, from power stations to farming, and explains why
it's so difficult to do. Along the way, it also talks about what
individuals can do, including tips on how to keep a clear head and
not get overwhelmed by bad news.

Part of the best-selling '...for Beginners' series that brings to
life the wide world of physics. Rather than explaining details
about how to do physics, this book focusses on explaining what
different branches of physics are about, how we know about them,
and what mysteries remain for budding physicists to uncover. It
doesn't shy away from the hard stuff, tackling black holes, quantum
mechanics and even Einstein's theories of relativity.
A unique and beautiful approach to understanding one of the most
important environmental issues facing humankind--access to clean,
fresh water. Scientists, engineers, academics, and
environmentalists warn that unless water use is drastically
reduced, severe water shortage will affect the entire planet by
2040. But what does that mean? Why? What should we do? Are We
Running Out of Water? unravels the issues and the answers using a
visual thinking technique called mind mapping, which makes
complicated subjects easy to understand. Beautiful illustrations
bring the many issues, concepts, and solutions to life. This
engaging, fascinating, and important read will inspire and empower
young readers to do their part to protect the planet's most vital
resource. BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS: Combines the beauty of a picture
book with science-based facts and information. TIMELY TOPIC:
Inspired by activists like Greta Thunberg, kids are concerned about

the community to protect the planet. UNIQUE APPROACH: Are We
Running Out of Water? is structured using a visual thinking
technique called "mind mapping," where complex ideas are broken
down into a clear flow of visual information. The 'mind map'
connects the information, making it easy to grasp. ACCESSIBLE TO
EVERY READER: The text is carefully layered and leveled for
emerging to proficient readers. COMPLETE THE COLLECTION: How Do We
Stop Climate Change?: Mind Mappers also available.
Back in the 1800s, information travelled slowly. Who would dream of
instant messages? Samuel Morse, that's who! Who travelled to
France, where the famous telegraph towers relayed 10,000 possible
codes for messages depending on the signal arm positions - only if
the weather was clear? Who imagined a system that would use
electric pulses to instantly carry coded messages between two
machines, rain or shine? Long before the first telephone, who
changed communication forever? Samuel Morse, that's who! This
dynamic and substantive biography celebrates an early technology
pioneer. Perfect for fans of Gene Barretta's popular inventor
series.
