Books in Protect Our Planet series

We need to protect the world we live in -- for ourselves and future generations. What is going to happen to Planet Earth? This challenging new series draws attention to the most urgent environmental concerns-and suggests positive ways to prevent more damage. Ocean Watch explains the issues-from the threat of overfishing to storm damage and habitat destruction-and then suggests ways to help. Hands-on experiments show readers how to explore the science behind the facts, while action globes suggest ways to make a difference on a daily basis. To highlight what is already being done, eyewitness reports from professionals-including a marine biologist in Hawaii and a fisheries protection officer in Australia-describe how their work is improving the management of the planet. Lively text, written in clear, non-technical language, combines with stunning images to produce a dynamic series that not only draws attention to problems, but also suggests ways to protect our planet for the future.

The observation and study of the heavens has fascinated every civilization; some even believed that our planet was the centre of the universe. Today, we know that Earth is just a tiny speck in our immense universe. This book, complete with augmented reality features, will shed light on the vast expanse of space for young and curious minds.
