Earth's population is growing – but whose planet is it? As the number of people who call Earth home increases, habitats are destroyed in order to build homes and grow food to feed the world's population.
Taking a balanced look at topics such as the global food chain and food miles, tourism, migration and the refugee crisis, and international responses to natural disasters and pandemics, the book also includes positive suggestions to enable readers to make a difference, and project ideas to help them engage with the subject. It explores the gap between the world's richest and poorest people, globalisation and the positive and negative consequences of our interconnected world.
Nancy Dickmann grew up in the USA, where she played baseball, ate hot dogs and read encyclopaedias for fun. She has now lived in England long enough to think that cold and rain are normal, but still has yet to try Morris dancing. Before becoming an author, she worked as an editor and publisher of children's books. Now, with Pushkin the Three-Legged Wonder Cat as her trusty assistant (in charge of lap-sitting), she writes books on a wide range of topics, including animals, space, history, health and explorers. The highlight of her career so far has been getting to interview a real astronaut to find out how they use the toilet in space!
