In our first book the skill is lifelong learning: "learning is a journey, not a destination".See books as an adventure. Books take us through their pages to new worlds, tell us fascinating stories, and introduce us to new concepts and information. With our book we aim to showcase books for the wonder they are: books are brought to life, making them lively, flying, and fun.Knowledge is a journey. Knowledge is not static - it is built on previous groundwork and becomes the foundation for future discoveries. We, too, should explore knowledge and learning as a journey where we start and continue our path in various directions, continually learning what interests us the most.Make science relatable and build confidence. We build confidence in children by making the advanced world of knowledge, books, and science relatable to them from a young age, therefore inspiring a new generation to learn, think, and aspire to make their dreams a reality.Scientists and discoveriesWith each discovery the place, and often the person, is mentioned, making the story a personal journey discussing with some of the world's greatest minds around the world and throughout time. Connecting the discovery with the place, the person (or the people), together with a simple explanation of what it is and why it matters, helps create the feeling that science and knowledge altogether is something attainable, within our reach, and keeps moving forward. In our book, among others, we portray the discoveries of Nicolas Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Edwin Hubble.Join Albert and embark on a knowledge journey with your family!
A Meerkat Diary
A rare and adorable look at meerkat pups with renowned wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas This gorgeous look behind the lens at wildlife photography offers a unique chance to enter the fascinating world of meerkats. In this companion title to A Leopard Diary, world-renowned wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas spends two weeks observing baby meerkats in Botswana's Kalahari Desert. In diary entry-style chapters, Eszterhas recounts how the creatures grow from tiny, wobbly meerkat pups to adolescents who hunt scorpions and have (almost) perfected the famous "tripod" meerkat stance. Along the way, the meerkat mob faces floods, hungry predators, and even a stampede of galloping zebras! Eszterhas's narrative is accompanied by her stunningly intimate photographs of the meerkats at every stage of their lives. Throughout the book, she also incorporates facts about other animals that call the desert home and introduces readers to the local Ju/'hoansi people, who have lived in the desert for thousands of years. Her respect for the land and the people who care for it will encourage readers to approach wildlife with wonder and empathy. A portion of the royalties from this book will go to the Wildlife Conservation Network, which works with local conservationist organizations to protect endangered wildlife in Africa and throughout the world.
