A powerful look at Earth''s population crisis, written by award-winning children''s author Anna ClaybourneThere are over 8 billion human beings living on Earth. That''s a LOT of people! And the world''s population is still growing, which leads to a big question ... are there too many of us? The human population has been rising since ancient times, but it has zoomed up especially fast over the last 100 years or so. While humans have been on Earth, we''ve made huge changes to the planet. We''ve built cities and roads and taken over wild areas, affecting the other living things we share our world with. We''ve polluted our skies, land and seas and are fast using up Earth''s precious natural resources. How can we lessen our impact on Earth, before it''s too late?ContentsA world full of people/The rise of humans/Population explosion/CASE STUDY: Crowded Tokyo/Taking over the world/Food and water/Population and health/Harming wildlife/CASE STUDY: Palm oil

Hot Planet offers young readers the perfect, non-alarmist introduction to Earth's climate change crisis Climate change is a new reality in today's world. From melting ice caps to forest fires, climate change is responsible for dramatic freak weather events and Earth is now warmer than it has been at any point in the last 650,000 years.Hot Planet aims to raise readers aged nine and up's awareness of the challenges of climate change in a non-alarmist, yet realistic, way. It explores what climate change is, what is believed to cause it, its current impact on the world and what might happen in the future if it progresses at current rates. It also highlights the social inequality of climate change, as richer and more industrialised countries contribute far more heavily to climate change through their energy consumption, yet poorer, less developed nations are currently much more affected by it.The book looks ahead at how we can all help combat the climate change crisis, from global changes such as investing in sustainable energy sources to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, to green schemes such as carbon pricing, to practical solutions such as eating less meat and using public transport or cycling, rather than driving. The author, Anna Claybourne, is an award-winning science writer.

Peaceful Planet offers young readers a clear, insightful look at conflict - and peace - in our worldWhat is peace? When people are living in peace, it means they can get along, solve problems together and help each other. The opposite of peace is war: when countries or other groups of people fight each other. When society is peaceful, you're free to get on with your life: to work, learn, travel, have fun and make things better for others, in safety. By contrast, wars are incredibly harmful, leading to death and injury, destruction of homes and infrastructure, poverty and widespread suffering. So why do we have wars - and how can we make our world more peaceful?Peaceful Planet? explains many reasons behind global conflict - from fights over land and resources to disagreement over beliefs. It explores the different ways in which conflict can take place, from huge global conflicts such as the Second World War, to civil wars, revolutions and power grabs. It also looks at how peace can be achieved, even in the most bitter and challenging conflicts, and explores what we can all do - at a global and an individual level - to help make the world a more peaceful place.Aimed at readers aged 9 and up.Contents:War and peaceLiving in peaceDealing with disagreementsCASE STUDY: IcelandWhat do we fight over?Types of warBuild-up to warCASE STUDY: The Second World WarWeapons and warWorking for peaceEnding a warCASE STUDY: The Good Friday AgreementAfter the warUnited worldWhat leads to peace?CASE STUDY: Building peace in Rwanda Peace leadersBig ideasWhat can you do?Peaceful planetGlossaryFurther informationIndexTitles in this series:Plastic PlanetHot PlanetRecycled PlanetSustainable PlanetExtinction PlanetPeaceful Planet
