Journey from the deepest trenches in the oceans to the farthest humans have ventured into space and learn what it takes to explore the extremes. You might just be surprised by how similar the domains of ASTRONAUTS and AQUANAUTS really are.

"The Earth is warming rapidly, and some scientists propose geoengineering, or 'engineering Earth,' to combat climate change. Their ideas include thickening clouds with chemicals to reduce sunlight. Is geoengineering too risky? Or is it our best hope of survival? [This book examines those questions and more]"--Provided by publisher.

Uses challenges to demonstrate how the brain works. Includes puzzles.

Provides information about robots, discussing how they can help with household chores, solve problems, help fight disease, and more.

"In [this book], children explore foundational concepts in physics through interactive activities. Using themes familiar to everyone--gravity, magnetism, and motion--this book encourages young readers to push, pull, twist, turn, and spin their way to learning about forces and motion!"--Back cover.

"Learn how to create lightning bolts, build a catapult, and much more. With clear instructions and helpful photos, busting boredom with experiments has never been more fun."--Provided by publisher.

Explores the science behind nanotechnology, and highlights the sports products created through this technology. Includes a glossary, resources for further information, and color photographs.

Introduces readers to robots and robotics, from how they were developed and the materials used to create them to the jobs they are tasked with and where the field of robotics is heading.

Explores the history of electrical engineering and the advancements made in the field, looking at global positioning systems, driverless cars, solar energy power plants, and more.
