HRH Prince Charles

Product Information

The efforts of Climate Outreach and Climate Outreach Europe are entirely focused on the public benefit and trustees don’t receive any remuneration. Filbert Cobb seems hard and cynical, not without justification, so so be it, but if Prince Charles would make a clear statement on the whole hunting issue and in support of radical reform, followed up by management practice on the Royal estates, it may be a mega U turn or it may be him “coming out” with what he really thinks, but it would certainly get some attention on the issue. He can be radical and revolutionary…so now would be good, far better than the blind and arrogant stubbornness of many in the shooting world. Probably better in the shooting and National press than a Ladybird book, but I may be wrong there! Nice little book with a big reach.

Yes, a signed copy for Donald Trump would make a fitting gesture. Perhaps he might even read it, as it’s not too long, and proceed to make an intelligent contribution to the problems of the world. He needs to realise, as do his followers, that the USA is only a small part of planet Earth and has no special status in the scheme of things. I recently interviewed Greenland residents, for whom adapting to climate changes is part of everyday life. We don’t really consider ourselves to be living climate-changed lives in Britain, but my childhood 30 years ago was enlivened by two winter blizzards that each shut down my village for a week. That snowmaggedon was great for community spirit. Jim Al-Khalili, who wrote the guide to quantum mechanics, is a physicist, writer and broadcaster and has a PhD in theoretical nuclear physics. Tony Juniper, a campaigner and environmentalist, is a fellow of the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.

It an excellent idea. Then and only then can we send it to politicians and and expect them to read it and understand something. The illustrations by Ruth Palmer deserve a special mention – they are attractive and very evocative of those of the original Ladybird books.

Prince Charles pens Ladybird book on climate change

The constitutional monarch, who must remain politically neutral, wrote of how he admired children across the world for “raising the alarm and calling for big changed to happen.” Ladybird books on ‘logic’, ‘honesty’ and ‘how to answer a question’ should be compulsory reading for MPs.”Written by the leading lights and most outstanding communicators in their fields, the Ladybird Expert books provide clear, accessible and authoritative introductions to subjects drawn from science, history and culture. The question that puzzled me while scanning the launch titles was: why do we need a book on quantum mechanics? I mean, climate change is obvious. The world does need to be better informed about the climatic well-being of our planet. Why, I ask, should we read a book about evolution? ‘The most important thing is that it’s simple. And the second most important thing is that it’s fun,’ Jones replies. His book is a pared-down version of Darwin’s The Origin of Species. It begins with the revelation that whales are what became of hippo-like creatures that lived in the Himalayas 55 million years ago.
