Product Information

We start with the facts about warming of the Earth and where the evidence comes from. What might be, and are already, the impacts on our lives now and on future generations? Wildlife gets appropriate mentions as an indicator of climate change and also a victim. The book then moves on to solutions – those we can each make individually and those we as communities, nations and as a species need to make together. Dr Tony Juniper CBE is an environmentalist and writer. He is Chair of the official Nature recovery agency Natural England, a fellow of the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership and Chair of Cool Earth. He was formerly Director of Friends of the Earth, Executive Director at WWF, President of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts and Special Advisor to the Prince of Wales’s International Sustainability Unit.

There has been no more effective or committed champion of this cause than the former Prince of Wales and I am sure this book and his words will help to keep things moving in the right direction.” Ich glaube nicht, dass meinen SuS der Zusammenhang wischen CO2 und saurem Wasser klar ist. Hier wäre eine Formel und eine kurze Erklärung angemessen gewesen. Those ancestors, whose fossils are scattered across Everest, have done some brilliant remodelling over the ages and can now be found swimming deep in our oceans.So who were the target audience for the Ladybird book? Judging by the media coverage, the royalist/centre-right press took a significant interest. From the Telegraph to Mail on Sunday, there was sensible coverage, including an article in The Sun that discussed the book in the context of recent flooding events in the UK. There were a few obligatory snide comments about the prince’s penchant for expressing his political opinions, but broadly speaking the press coverage was positive. So the authors clearly got the tone – and the visual narrative – about right in this respect.

But the front cover depicted a scene that is recognisable to anyone who has lived in or passed through a British market-town. Images of climate change ‘happening’ to recognisable people and places is worth a hundred graphs or gifs. I hope people find the book presents the evidence in an accessible way that enables readers to come to their own conclusions regarding the causes and consequences of climate change, as well as the scale and urgency of the challenge it poses. 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 Ladybird book has a sense of urgency, but in no way does it feel overcooked (as some environmentalist writing can). It is written in a direct, functional – perhaps even unadventurous – style. But the absence of polemicism and grandstanding is likely to have been a good thing for the audience the book was aimed at. Die "Ladybird Expert Books" richten sich an interessierte Laien und wollen schwierige, wissenschaftliche Themen einfach erklären.

Keine Erklärung, was ein sink ist. Wüssten meine SuS definitiv auch nicht. Das Prinzip hätte man wohl auch erklären sollen. Ich bin mir nicht Sicher ob Energy Sink überhaupt als Prinzip im Lehrplan ist. In Bio meines Wissens nicht. The book could easily have fallen foul of the often poisonous political wrangling over climate policies in royalist media such as the Daily Mail or Express, if the tone was not carefully chosen.Dem Anspruch der einfachen Darstellung wird das Buch zudem auch nicht wirklich gerecht. Es werden viele Themen angerissen, aber keine Zusammenhänge erklärt. Teilweise wird so einiges an Grundwissen vroausgesetzt, dass nicht mal heutige Oberstufenschüler haben. It’s a while since I bought a Ladybird book – but I still have a lot of the original series dotted around the house. I feel a strong sense of responsibility as a climate scientist to communicate widely the findings of my research. A Ladybird Book: Climate Change is an in-house project adapted from the Ladybird Expert title, published in 2017. The new title is illustrated by Aleesha Nandhra and has been updated with new climate data, an additional spread on the youth climate change movement and a new afterword, written last year, by the former Prince of Wales.
