This series brings together breathtaking landscapes, inspiring
quotes, and infographics about environmental issues that take the
reader on a journey through the depths of the earth. "We really
have the most beautiful planet in our solar system. None other can
sustain life like we know it. None other has blue water and white
clouds covering colorful landmasses filled with thriving,
beautiful, living things like human beings." Sunita Williams. The
mesmerizing pictures in The Earth are combined with powerful quotes
about the importance of protecting the world around us. Each
chapter begins with an infographic depicting the issues faced by
that area of the world, like our forests, prairies, mountains, and
glaciers. The photos and the quotations that accompany them help us
rediscover the amazement and respect inspired by uncontaminated
nature.
Scientists have discovered more than a million different species of
insects that every day, in every part of the world, live their very
diverse lives. Many fly, others walk or bore through wood. Some are
pleasing to the eye, like butterflies; others, like cockroaches, a
bit less. For the most part, insects are small - sometimes so small
that you need a magnifying lens to see them - and that is the way
we are used to thinking of them. But in this book, the insects are
presented in their actual sizes and in many cases readers will be
genuinely surprised to find some veritable giants among them. The
book includes other impressive insect characteristics - how much
they weigh, how fast they are, how large and small insects differ
from each other - all of which can be seen in the life-size
illustrations that make the insects seem as though they have just
landed on the page.
Everyone loves puppies! Cute, tender and a bit goofy, the baby
animals of each species are naturally born funny. This book shows
the puppies in their original sizes, showing them as they appear in
nature. Page after page, the reader will be surprised by the
details and characteristics of each puppy, while learning
everything about their behaviours and physical development. The
latest title of our bestselling "100%" series. After animals and
bugs, children will learn from the pages all the real sizes of the
cute puppies included in this big format volume.
This series brings together breathtaking landscapes, inspiring
quotes, and infographics about environmental issues that will take
readers on a journey through the depths of the sea. "For most of
history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he
is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect
it." Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The mesmerizing pictures in The Sea
combine with powerful quotes about the importance of protecting the
world around us. Each chapter begins with an infographic depicting
the issues faced by these large bodies of water. The images in this
book, from the icy waters of the two poles to the coral reefs in
the tropics, testify to why the seas need to be preserved for us
and for future generations.
