This book explains, in simple language and with clear illustrations, what the climate is, and how it is changing very rapidly at the moment, and the effects this is having on our planet. It tackles suggestions about what needs to change in the way people live, from power stations to farming, and explains why it's so difficult to do. Along the way, it also talks about what individuals can do, including tips on how to keep a clear head and not get overwhelmed by bad news. Part of the award-winning 'for Beginners' series, which includes Politics for Beginners, Business for Beginners and Money for Beginners. Full-colour illustrations throughout, combining diagrams and graphs with humorous comic strips. Created in collaboration with Steve Smith, head of Climate Science at the UK government's Dept of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, also a fellow at Oxford University.

Thomas loves to tell stories. Big stories. Stories about how skilled he is on the land. But when one of his friends grows tired of his tall tales, Thomas has to prove how skilled he really is. Taking the challenge to spend a night alone in the forest, Thomas heads into the wilderness. The trees, who have heard his stories, watch him tear off their bark and litter as he goes. And so, while Thomas sleeps, they dance a dance that will leave Thomas with a very different kind of story to tell--if he can find his way home...
