sounding dishes are? If you think eating broccoli or anchovies
sounds unappealing just wait until you hear what's on the dinner
table around the world! Cow's intestines, jellied eels, gigantic
tuna eyeballs, stinky herrings... These might sound like disgusting
ingredients to make witches' potions with, but no, they are
delicious and exclusive delicacies served in different parts of the
world. While every page might not make your mouth water, the aim of
this book is to question what we consider disgusting and to show
the incredible diversity and creativity of the world's cuisine.
Dish by dish, you'll also discover surprising stories and
historical facts. A really fun read which brings the gross factor!
We hope that this book will help you keep an open mind - yum!
The Himalayas are probably the most magical place on Earth. About
50 million years ago, a colossal clash between India and Asia
resulted in the tallest landform on earth, with 14 peaks reaching
over 8,000 meters above sea levels as it journeys through Nepal,
India and Tibet. This book helps you discover the towns that
inhabit its rugged lands, its legends and colours in an
extraordinary way and features information on the culture and
spirituality that lies in this beautiful part of the world.
The whole universe flows in eternal natural cycles, and this poetic
journey captures the beauty of how nothing disappears and
everything is infinite! With all things that exist in the universe,
when they come to an end, they start over. Nothing disappears
completely; everything is transformed over and over again. When
winter ends, spring sprouts. After the night, a new day dawns, and
from the fruit that has fallen on the ground, a tree grows . . .
These are the magical cycles of the universe, and this book shows
some of them from the cycle of water and the life cycle of
butterflies and humans to the phases of the moon and the seasons of
the year. Each cycle is represented by a simple definition and an
illustration that identifies the main phases, and is followed by an
observation to link the concept and a quote for the reader to
reflect upon before moving on. So whether you are following the
migration of birds or discovering the powerful sequence of the food
chain, you can trace the progression of science and nature in a way
to better understand our existence. Welcome to an incredible
journey through infinity! ; A circular die cut on the cover
symbolizes the continuous process of transformation and encourages
young readers to open up and discover these magical cycles; The mix
of science, poetry, and art is structured in a way that children
will be drawn into these 11 natural cycles that are part of
everyday life and the concept of cyclical time, where nothing
disappears and everything is transformed
