Maps to pore over, on subjects you'd never expect, compiled with explanatory diagrams and text to form an exciting new style of reference.
Maps can help you find your way around more than just places, and knowledge can be shared using more than just words. Inside these pages, you will discover maps of science, history, nature, and space. Find a new way into fascinating topics with this unique book.
Follow the routes of animals as they embark on migrations and of seeds as they leave their parent plants. Discover maps to guide you around hidden spaces, like the inside of a beehive, and places as distant as the outer reaches of the solar system. Explore the depths of the ocean, a single cell, a car engine, the human brain, a medieval castle, and much more.
This unique book features an encyclopaedic range of subjects for children who want to find out everything there is to know about the world. Using maps, need-to-know topics can be introduced in an inviting, visual way.
This book is also packed with diagrams and information to help inquisitive children learn more about each topic. Beautifully illustrated and filled with engaging text, Explore is a book that young readers will treasure.
