Climate Crisis For Beginners

de Andy Prentice e Eddie Reynolds; Ilustração: El Primo Ramon

8,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Climate Crisis is real. Climate Change is having an enormous impact on the world around us. This book uses simple language and vivid illustrations to explain complex questions clearly. How does the climate work? What are we doing to change it? What can we do differently to avoid the worst outcomes? Why do we all find change so hard? The Climate Crisis is a troubling and sensitive topic, especially for children, so the book includes vital tips on how to set realistic goals and not get overwhelmed by bad news. Chapters in this book include: - What is the climate? - What is the crisis? - How important is the crisis? The basics What is the greenhouse effect? What are fossil fuels, and why do we love burning them so much? How sure are we? Are we really, really sure that the crisis is happening? Could some people be exaggerating? Meet the IPCC - an international team that studies the crisis and provides us with the most reliable information about it. What do we do? The crisis is big and daunting, but we know what we need to do. There's a VERY long list of changes we need to make: how we grow and eat our food; how we move around; how we get all the power we use to run our machines; how we stay warm - and keep things cold. Almost every part of how we live will have to change, in big and small ways. What's stopping us? If we know what we need to do, why aren't we already making those changes? Some of it is about getting big groups of people to agree on which changes are the most important, and some of it is to do with what's going on in our brains. What can I do? One person can't fix the crisis alone. But there are a lot of things that individual people CAN do, no matter how old or young, or how much power they have. What happens next?

8,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 An entertaining and thought-provoking guide to what laws are, who makes them and how people enforce them. It covers crime and punishment as well as social and citizenship issues such as politics and international law, using a mixture of debates, cartoon strips and clear diagrams. Chapters in this book include: - What is law? - Why do we need laws? - How does the law work? - Right and wrong - It isn't black and white Criminal Law An unlucky accident, or a serious crime? Follow a story to see what happens, and who gets involved, from a person's arrest to trial and beyond. Civil law Most law isn't about crime and punishment - it's about settling arguments, and making sure people behave fairly to each other. This is 'civil' law. How is law made? Laws used to be made by leaders with limitless powers. Today, most laws are made by elected politicians, who have to follow all sorts of rules. Law across borders Are there laws that the whole world has to obey? How are those made - and how are they enforced? Human rights Some of the most important laws, or rights, are meant to ensure that all people can live safe, healthy lives with equal opportunities. But does this actually happen? Justice Justice means fairness. It's what law is all about, isn't it? But are laws themselves fair? And what about the system that enforces the law - is that fair? Big questions Often in law, there are questions that don't have simple answers. Read some of the arguments and see if you can make up your own mind. What next? What about YOU? Could you be a lawyers, or a lawmaker, or a law enforcer?

Chapters in this book include: - What is philosophy? - A world of philosophy? - Doing philosophy - How to argue - Thought experiments - Why do philosophy? Knowledge How do we know anything about the world around us - can we be sure that we know anything at all? The mind Is your mind somehow different from your body, and are you even in control of it? Beauty and art What is beauty, and what is art? And why is it so hard to answer these questions? God If there is a God, is it possible to prove that he or she exists? Politics Are there any rules that everyone can agree on that would make a society a fair and happy place for everyone to live in? How to be good If you're not sure of the right thing to do, can the tools of philosophy help you find an answer? Time and Identity Everything changes with time - but how much can something change and still count as the same thing? What is time, anyway? Logic and language What are the rules of philosophy, and how can you follow them if people don't agree on what words themselves actually mean? The meaning of life Is philosophy merely a way asking questions about the world - or can it also be a way of life itself? Can it answer the ultimate question: what is the meaning of life? What next?
