Then study the strength of plastic and how it can be recycled and reused. Next launch into space and explore the planets of the solar system and discover why we float in space. Perfect for children ages 5-9, this book is a fun and accessible introduction to key topics of scientific study and is the ideal companion to support them with their learning. Covering many topics studied at school, this is the perfect starting point to encourage a life-long love of learning.

52 Ways to Walk is a short, user-friendly guide to attaining the full range of benefits that walking has to offer--physical, spiritual, and emotional--backed by the latest scientific research to inspire readers to develop a fulfilling walking lifestyle. We think we know how to walk. After all, walking is one of the very first skills we learn. But many of us are stuck in our walking routines, forever walking in the same place, in the same way, for the same time, with the same people. With its thought-provoking and evidence-backed weekly walk routine, 52 Ways to Walk will encourage everyone to improve how they walk, while also encouraging them to seek out new locations (many on their own doorsteps), new walking companions (our brains age better when we mix up our fellow walkers), new times of the day and night, and new skills to acquire while walking. Inspirational, backed-by-science, illuminated with human anecdote, bolstered with how-to tips, 52 Ways to Walk will inspire, challenge, su
