"Explore the incredible ways evolution works, from the beginnings
of life 3.5 billion years ago to the walking, talking super-apes
better known as human beings. Amazing Evolution is filled with
fascinating facts!" - The Week Junior Evolution can be a difficult
idea to wrap our brains around: it deals with random, unlikely
events, combined with vast lengths of time too enormous to
comprehend. But the evidence is all around us - in the fossils of
long-dead creatures, and in our genes and the relationships between
all living beings. Amazing Evolution shines a light on this
incredible process, from the beginnings of life around 3.8 billion
years ago, to the millions of different species alive today,
including the moon-walking, talking apes with super-powerful brains
- human beings! Filled with clear explanations, beautiful
illustrations and fascinating facts about the planet's strangest
and most spectacular creatures, Amazing Evolution will keep
children (and adults, too!) enthralled for hours. Delve into the
pages and learn what makes a fish a fish, why giraffes have such
long necks and how all living things, from cabbages to tigers, are
related! Amazing Evolution is the perfect first book about
evolution for young readers.

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.
