Apocalypse
Are we living on borrowed
time? The Earth can be a fragile and perilous place, with the specter of
natural catastrophe looming over us. Volcanoes can devastate continents and
alter the climate; tidal waves are capable of destroying entire cities;
earthquakes could wreak havoc on countless lives and shake up the world's
economy; and asteroids threaten us with a new Ice Age. Timely and
authoritative, this riveting scientific study of four of nature's most
apocalyptic events describes in detail what implications this quartet of
terrors would have for the future of humanity. Find out what the history of
such disasters has taught us, how much risk there actually is, and how our
own actions may make matters worse--or improve our chances for survival.

Eyewitness:
Ecology
More on the Eyewitness Books
All plants and animals
need energy and materials from the environment in order to survive. All
kinds of living things, or species, affect the lives of others. Ecology is
the study of the complex relationships between living things, and between
them and their environment. Humans are the most influential creatures on Earth. Our activities, from
mining and industry to agriculture and housing, take place on such an
enormous scale that the environment is being fundamentally changed.
Ecologists provide ways of meeting human needs that are sympathetic to the
environment, like recycling and reforestation. Featuring superb photographs of animals, plants, and ecosystems,
Ecology is an exciting introduction to the discoveries that have
changed our understanding of the world we live in.
8.5" x 11" 64 pages. Hardback.
