Synopsis

Discover how people all around the world are putting the planet first and helping the environment in new and exciting ways!

From recycling drinking water to green transport links and renewable energy sources, cities can be adapted and built to be sustainable in all sorts of ways.

In Putting the Planet First: Sustainable Cities, discover how people around the world are working all the time to innovate and create self-sustaining settlements. Learn too, what you can do to help the environment, and about small changes you can make that will have a real impact.

It's a fascinating introduction to the positive changes people are making to try and live more sustainably, and will inspire children to think creatively about how they can put the planet first!

New, fresh series on green issues that will be both topical and timely. With the signing of the Paris Agreement, the environment is once again at the top of the global agenda, and this series taps into that. Both inspirational and practical, the series contains case studies of things people are already doing, as well as tips and ideas for things children can do easily at home or school. Recycling is a hot topic in schools, and there are lots of initiatives and schemes aimed at encouraging this, which this series will help to reinforce.

Bright, colourful, engaging design and photography give the books real child-appeal, and will engage and hold their interest.

Perfect for readers aged 7 and up.

Author Bio
Nancy Dickmann grew up in the USA, where she played baseball, ate hot dogs and read encyclopaedias for fun. She has now lived in England long enough to think that cold and rain are normal, but still has yet to try Morris dancing. Before becoming an author, she worked as an editor and publisher of children's books. Now, with Pushkin the Three-Legged Wonder Cat as her trusty assistant (in charge of lap-sitting), she writes books on a wide range of topics, including animals, space, history, health and explorers. The highlight of her career so far has been getting to interview a real astronaut to find out how they use the toilet in space!
