Book SynopsisDiscover fascinating facts about communication in all its forms, from around the world and over timeEngaging factual writing introduces young readers to the most interesting aspects of languages, how they evolve and change over time.

Book SynopsisPeople have been inventing drinks for thousands of years. Kinda weird when you consider that humans only need two liquids to survive-water and milk-and we don''t need milk once we can eat solid foods. So, why did humans, unlike other mammals, begin concocting new beverages? It likely started with safety-boiling water to make it safer to drink, and then adding in berries or leaves or roots to make it taste better. Sometimes, it was thought that enhancing drinks made them healthier (i.e. bubbly water restored vitality). Did you know that some of the most popular sodas were created by pharmacists?
