"Geology and earth science made easy (to learn) and super-quick (to read about). You, too, can make a mountain--start today! (Some restrictions apply.)"--Provided by publisher.

"For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of many modern woes is clear: the world is out of sync with humans' ancient brains and bodies. The authors cut through the disputes surrounding issues like sex, gender, diet, parenting, sleep, education, and more to outline a science-based worldview that will empower the reader to live a better, wiser life. They distill more than twenty years of research and first-hand accounts from the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth into straightforward principles and guidance for confronting our culture of hyper-novelty"--Provided by publisher.

Introduces readers to the diversity of life on Earth by organizing all two billion living organisms into a genealogical tree. Offers full-color spreads describing each clade (a group that shares a common ancestor), discusses common traits, and details the ways they benefit and threaten humankind. Includes a glossary of terms.

"[A] study of wildlife, examining the causes and effects of the ongoing extinction crisis, as well as what people can do to protect, preserve, and propagate species that contribute to Earth's valuable biodiversity"--Provided by publisher.

An illustrated exploration of microorganisms and the history of their discovery.

Explores ecoagriculture, examining threats to biodiversity, human welfare, land conversion, habitat pollution and degradation, overexploitation, strategies for integrating conservation in agricultural development, legal frameworks and regulations, market incentives, support institutions, and other related topics.

"In 2019 there were about 7.7 billion humans on Earth, more than double the number of people alive in 1969. During that fifty-year period the impact of humanity on the natural environment has increased proportionately. human activity is causing a loss of biodiversity-the diversity of plant, animal, algae, fungi, and microbe species. But the survival of humanity-and all life on earth-is directly related to biodiversity"-- Provided by publisher.

Ecosystems are all around-from a small pond to a vast forest and everything in between. This book shows kids the components of ecosystems as well and describes some of the world's most common ecosystems.
