The world we live in is complex and constantly changing. It's
battered by weather, shaken by earthquakes, and mined, farmed and
polluted by humans. This book helps readers understand these
processes, make sense of our relationship with the planet, and find
ways to change it for the better. Geography is a HUGE subject area
that deals with so much more than map-making, rocks, and town
planning. This book unpicks how an awareness of geography helps
people think about how important the world around us is, from the
landscape we live on to the relationships between entire countries.
Part of the award-winning 'for Beginners' series, which explains
big subjects to kids in late primary and early secondary education.
Each book outlines what those subjects are about, which big
questions experts are grappling with, and what jobs people who
study them might go on to do.
Making magazines is fun and easy – and this marvellous guide
offers advice every step of the way. Learn how to write 5-star
reviews and intriguing articles, make giggle-inducing comics and
zines, showcase your artistic skills and much more. Includes links
to specially selected websites for inspiration, hints and tips.

and explains the ways that the tools of mathematics help people
make sense of the world around them, predict the future and, just
maybe, how to make life itself better.
Magic and mischief abound in this captivating collection. Meet the
cheeky kappa from Japan, a clever duende from the Philippines and

When the Hull family was blessed with the gift of a new baby on the
way, the family was ecstatic. What could make the lovely, young
married couple any happier than the new addition of a baby? The
Hulls' elation turned to concern when they discovered their baby
would have a neurological defect called Spina Bifida, and this
defect would result in a life-long disability. The couple bravely
accepted the challenge and kept their attitudes positive, despite
some of the less than encouraging comments they heard. Their little
girl was born beautiful and strong; she would retain this strength
of sweet spirit and it would later serve her magnificently. The
Hulls never looked back. Katie has had her good days and her
not-so-good days, but throughout her challenges, she has kept that
strength going strong. Katie wrote her first book, Katie CAN
do...and you CAN too , to share her courage with others in the hope
that she might inspire children and adults, with and without
disabilities, to move ahead with their goals and dreams no matter
what-because Katie can and so can you. Katie's unique perspective
as a child living and thriving under a set of physical challenges
lends tremendous credence and inspiration to her call to act.
Whether or not you have a physical, mental, or internal challenge
to overcome, you can read Katie's words, learn from her, and gain a
boost to your spirit. There is nothing that holds you back, except
yourself. Katie generously shares what she has experienced and
learned from surgeries, as well as about learning how to use a
walker, crutches, and other adaptive equipment. Katie's approach
teaches all readers how effective a positive,
don't-take-no-for-an-answer attitude can be. Katie CAN do...and you
CAN too kindly educates the reader all about Spina Bifida, all
while sharing Katie's inspiring triumphs in racing, pageants, and
more.
