Wind, Water, Fire and Earth is a must-have collection for anyone interested in the climate and ecology. In an easily comprehensible way, these four books reveal the complex mechanisms that govern nature.
Earth
If you want to know where your food comes from, you have to bend down and look beneath your feet. Trees and grasses, vegetables and fruits draw their sustenance from the earth. If the earth is polluted, both plants and the animals that graze on them will be contaminated too. And those harmful substances will also end up on your plate! In this book you will learn more about earth – as in soil. You will also discover that it is the only skin protecting the Earth – as in our planet. But how was our blue globe formed? How has it changed, and how is it still changing? What treasures is it hiding, and how do they benefit humans? Our planet is crying out for your care and attention – and the first step is knowledge.
