SLOTHS The coat hanger– shaped hands grip onto branches.
As you hike across the forest floor, look up into the trees. Can you make out the shape of a shaggy-coated sloth? It is difficult to see, but the sloth is the slowest animal in the world, so once you’ve spotted one, it won’t scamper off!
LIVES: lowland rainforest and mangrove forests
Pygmy sloth, Isla Escudo de Veraguas Pale-throated three-toed sloth, northern South America Maned three-toed sloth, Brazil
EATS: leaves, twigs and buds STATUS:
Pale-throated three-toed sloth – least concern
Maned threetoed sloth
Palethroated three-toed sloth
Maned three-toed sloth – vulnerable Pygmy sloth – critically endangered
Two layers of fur keep the sloth warm and dry.
A green plant, called algae, grows on the sloth’s fur. It helps to camouflage the sloth in the trees.
HOW BIG? Pale-throated and maned three-toed sloths 55–75cm (22–30in) long
IN
DA NGER
Pygmy sloth 45–53cm (18–21in) long
The pygmy sloth is in danger of extinction. Conservation projects are trying to help save its forest home.
Long, curved claws grip onto branches so tightly that the sloth can sleep upside down safely.
Head-turner The sloth has an extra bone in its neck, which means it can turn its head almost the whole way around. But it does this slowly.
Moths live on the sloth’s shaggy fur.

A-Z OF DINOSAURS
HORNED DEVIL Diabloceratops‘ huge head is a yard long from its beaked mouth to the back of its colorful frill. It is unusual for this type of dinosaur to have such long spikes above its eyes and curved, 20-inch-long devil-like horns on its frill.
SAVAGE CLAW Deinonychus may not be very large, but it is a fearsome predator. The second toe of each rear foot has a razorsharp, sicklelike claw. It uses this savage weapon, up to 5 inches long, to fatally wound its prey.

ALBERTACERATOPS al-BER-ta-SER-a-tops P L A N T- E AT E R L AT E C R E TA C E O U S DANGER LEVEL 3
Length: 16 ft. Diet: Plants Group: Ornithischia Family: Ceratopsidae
USEFUL TIP! May be found traveling in large herds.
EARLY CENTROSAUR Albertaceratops lives more than 10 million years before Triceratops. It is one of the earliest known members of the centrosaur subfamily.
• Albertaceratops is known from one very well preserved skull from Alberta, Canada, plus other bones discovered in Montana.
SMALL TYRANNOSAUR This dinosaur is built just like its closest relative, Tyrannosaurus rex, but is not as powerful or as tall. The two dinosaurs look almost identical, especially to terrified plant-eaters, such as duck-bills and horned dinosaurs. N
O
Single row of sharp teeth
N Tiny arms
W AY !
This tyrannosaur is fearsome on its own, but scientists think it may hunt in packs of more than 20 individuals.
Length: 26 ft. Diet: Meat Group: Theropoda Family: Tyrannosauridae
Walks on three toes Strong legs
O
USEFUL TIP!
• Albertosaurus’ jaws have just one row of teeth, but with replacement teeth below waiting to come through.
Large claw on second toe
Length: 8–10 ft. Diet: Meat Group: Theropoda Family: Dromaeosauridae
SAWLIKE TEETH It can deliver a ferocious bite with its 60 curved teeth.
KILLER CLAW The claw can rotate quickly through 180 degrees.
• Studies of Deinonychus were the first to show that some dinosaurs were quick and agile, and that not all were cumbersome, as had been thought.
Huge thigh muscles
USEFUL TIP! Keep your distance —this dinosaur may charge without warning.
Short skull
DILONG dee-LONG
M E AT- E AT E R E A R LY C R E TA C E O U S
A lone Dilong might not tackle a human —but a group of them might want to.
Deinonychus’ teeth act like a saw, cutting through skin, muscle, and bone.
Keep your distance —it’s quick and deadly.
DANGER LEVEL 3
Neck frill
USEFUL TIP!
USEFUL TIP! Smaller and faster than T. rex, so be very careful.

If you have a boring old T-shirt in need of upcycling, try this quick and easy makeover.

This is simple to do and the result is really impressive.

• Shaving cream • Large tray or baking pan • Ruler or spatula • Food coloring or paint • Wooden stick (a skewer or chopstick, for example) • Heavy white paper • Paper towels • Plenty of newspaper to keep the table clean
PIZZA SAUCE 223 GROW
A WILLOW TUNNEL 224 BUILD
Okay, so you’ll need to supply the pizza base and the cheese separately, but you can grow all of the ingredients for a truly delicious pizza sauce in just five to six weeks!
For a shady retreat, build a willow tunnel. Once you’ve got the hang of it, you could also try a dome. Or build a willow complex, joining domes and tunnels together!
Place your hand in the center of the paper and trace around your hand and wrist with a pencil.
2
Draw a straight pencil line from the edge of the paper to the hand outline, draw a curved line across the hand, then draw a straight line to the other edge. Repeat these lines about 0.8 inch (2cm) apart across the hand and fingers.
1
Squirt a small amount of shaving cream into the tray or pan and spread it out using the ruler or spatula. You need a thin layer just a bit bigger than your sheet of paper.
2
1
Put your container in a sunny spot and fill with compost, leaving 1 inch (3cm) free at the top. Make sure that your plants are well watered in the containers that they came in.
Drip evenly spaced drops of food coloring or paint onto the shaving cream.
2
First, plant the tomato. Dig a hole in the center of the container that is slightly deeper than the tomato plant’s pot. Plant the tomato carefully, pressing the soil down around its roots.
Voilà! Now take a look around the house. What else could you draw in 3-D using this technique?
3
DONE!
DONE!
1
Decide where you will do this. Always make sure that you have permission to use the land. Now prepare the site. Use a spade to dig two trenches, 3 feet (1m) apart and 1 foot (30cm) wide and deep.
3
Divide the pot into six “slices” with your sticks or pebbles. Dig a hole for each plant in a different “slice.” Unlike the tomato, the holes should be the same depth as their old pots.
2
Don't Forget
Plant the uprights. You will need 13 willow stems for each trench. Plant them about 1 foot (30cm) apart. Push each about 1 foot (30cm) into the ground. You might want an adult to help you to do this if the ground isn’t very soft.
you will need
3
Lay the T-shirt on a flat surface and put the cardboard inside to stop the paint going through to the back. Lay your shape in position. Use double-sided tape to keep it in place, or peel the backing off the plastic.
30
Top Tip
If your paper curls up as it dries, try putting a weight baking ed tray to flatten on top it out.
You need to make your tunnel when the willow rods are dormant — after leaf fall, and before leaf bud.
After you’ve bought the willow stems, make a start as soon as you can.
1
Use colored markers to follow the pencil lines and fill in the gaps between them.
2
Carefully dab paint around the shape using the sponge or paintbrush. Leave it to dry, then lift up the shape and follow the instructions on the paints for setting them.
Marbled paper is great for wrapping gifts or covering books. You can use it to make cool greetings cards and stationery, too. Just be sure to ask the owner of the shaving cream before you use it!

3
Use the stick to swirl the colors together, so they make streaks in the shaving cream. Don’t mix it up too much — you want the colors to stay separate.
4
Carefully lay the paper on the shaving cream and press it down gently and evenly.
5 6
Lift up the paper and lay it painted side up on some paper towels.
Use the ruler or spatula to scrape off the shaving cream, leaving the paint behind. Leave the marbled paper to dry.
4
If the plant has been in a small pot for a long time, the roots might be packed tightly together. You can carefully pull them apart with your fingertips. But be very gentle!
DONE!
5
Plant the vegetables and herbs. Make sure that you press the soil down around the roots. The bottom of the stems should be at the same level as the top of the soil. Put labels next to each plant so that you remember which is which.
Push the stakes into your container. Space them apart equally, near to the edge. Tie them together at the top like a teepee with garden twine. Take care not to disturb your plants. Carefully tie the tomato plant to the sticks, making sure not to tie them too tightly. You just want to tie them so that they can grow upwards and not fall over from the weight of the tomatoes.
Bend each opposite pair of willow stems to form an arch. Twist them together. Fasten with string. You now have the main arch.

Now add the horizontals. Start at one end, about 2 inches (15cm) up, and carefully weave a single stem through the uprights. Use a “behind, in front, behind, in front” type pattern. Use the rest of your rods to weave horizontally on both sides of the tunnel, spacing them equally. Secure them all with twine.

5
Give the tunnel a good watering. Keep it well watered. In spring, the first shoots should appear.
You can either let your tunnel grow shaggy and wild or ask an adult to help you to neaten it up with garden shears. You should ask an adult to help you cut it back each autumn or winter with garden shears in either case. Never use shears on your own.

A PRINCESS’S COFFINS The ancient Egyptians often made coffins that fit inside each other, like Russian dolls. The coffins protected the dead person during their journey to the next world. This set belonged to Princess Henettawy (Henna-tah-we). Henettawy was known as the Singer of Amun-R. She served as an impor tant priestess in Amun-Ra’s temple. This god was the greatest of them all. He was said to sail across the sky every day in a boat, wearing the sun disk on his head. Two coffins and a flat “mummy board” make up Henettawy’s coffin set. They are all shaped like mummies. The princess’s body was wrapped in linen bandages, placed inside the inner coffin, and covered with the board. Henettawy’s face is painted on the front of both coffins and the board. This was to help guide her spirit back if she wanted to rejoin the world of the living. The inner coffin is painted to look like gold. It shows Osiris (Oh-sy-ris), the god of death and rebir th. His green skin represents the plants that die and grow again. His wife Isis (Eye-sis) spreads her wings across both coffins and the board.
FACT FILE
The outer coffin is painted white like the wrappings of a mummy. Prayers, good luck charms, and pictures of gods and goddesses cover the surface. These are all there to help the princess reach the next world.

Perhaps the owner used the little hooked tool for scraping sauce out of a narrow-necked bottle.
a
This clever tool is a little bit like a modern Swiss army knife. It has many useful parts, including a spoon, knife and fork. Each part can be folded in and out as needed.
a
a
The tool’s owner may have used the long spike to scoop out the flesh of snails. The Romans loved eating snails. They fattened them on milk and bran in special gardens.
The object probably belonged to a wealthy man. He would have found it useful for travelling, but it was also a luxury item. You can imagine him proudly taking it out of his pocket to show the people he met.
a
Next to the long spike is a shorter tool with a tiny spoon at the end. The owner might have used it as a toothpick. Or perhaps they found it handy for removing earwax!
a
The iron knife has rusted and worn away. The Romans hardly ever used knives and forks at the table. Instead, they used spoons or their hands for eating food.
a
Archaeologists have discovered Roman knife-spoons made from bronze. But this tool is very unusual because it is mainly made from silver and has several folding parts.

EXTRAORDINARY BOOK THAT EATS ITSELF Every page turns into an eco project that helps you “save” the planet $16.99 US 10.75 x 8.125 64 pages 7,587 words Ages: 7+ ISBN: 978-1-68188-547-6
Most books are just meant to be read. But this is no ordinary book. This book turns itself into dozens of eco-projects to inspire you to think more about our planet. This book doesn’t just want you to read about reducing, reusing, and recycling. The Extraordinary Book that Eats Itself asks you to DO something about it, too. You can cut up, fold, tear, and reuse every single page—even the cover—to make all sorts of great projects, from planters and seed writing papers to eco-badges. There are eco-quizzes and nature games, growing projects, and organic recipes, bug hotels, and plastic-free diaries. All the activities can help you to change the way you think about the natural world, and how you can make a real difference. And don’t worry if what you do seems small. If everyone joins in, together we can make a BIG difference!

o goes one of the many delightful tales in this decidedly grown-up book of traditional Indian stories, retold for the modern reader. Author Kamla K. Kapur is well known in her native India as a poet and playwright, and her connection to these age-old stories is the reverent yet individualistic one we might expect from someone whose introduction tells of her hometown, where naked, dreadlocked holy men speed about on motorbikes. To collect these stories, Kapur relied on ancient sacred texts, modern scholarship, and chance encounters with interesting people who just happened to know a really good one about this time that Vishnu sank into the ocean, was incarnated as a pig, and had a really wonderful time. Like myths around the world, these are teaching stories that offer both a window into a fascinating culture that has endured for thousands of years, and a code for living that can be applied to the modern world. Whether you read these engaging tales for monkey gods, talking toads, and beautiful maidens in distress . . . or for an Eastern viewpoint on the eternal questions surrounding love, friendship, faith, happiness, and war, this is a book that bears repeated reading, and is a fine addition to any collection.

Kelp occurs worldwide where the water temperature does not exceed 68°F (20°C). It requires high nutrient supply, mixing from wave action, and light. In the Californian upwelling region giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) grows into dense forests and provides habitat for many marine creatures. Supported by gas-filled bladders its fronds grow straight up to the surface, where they form a dense canopy.

12 Seafloor topography The arc-shaped Bowers Ridge rises generally to about 1,600 feet (500 m) but carries pinnacles that reach to within 36 feet (11 m) of the surface. Its gardens of cold-water corals remain relatively undisturbed by bottom trawling and provide an important habitat refuge for fish.
Beluga The beluga or white whale (Delphinapterus leucas), a whale species of the Arctic and subarctic oceans, grows to 15 feet (5 m) in length. It spends the summers in bays, estuaries, and shallow inlets and follows the progressing ice edge into open water in winter.

The Bering Sea is the world’s third largest marginal sea (after the Arctic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea). In the northeast it forms part of the highly productive Siberian–Alaskan shelf. In the south it consists of a deep basin that is subdivided by the Shirshov and Bowers ridges. The Aleutian Islands form part of the Ring of Fire and carry several active volcanoes. Bering Strait, its connection with the Arctic Ocean, is only 53 miles (85 km) wide and less than 160 feet (50 m) deep but is important for the global water budget by returning to the Atlantic the fresh water that came as rain across the Isthmus of Panama. Sea ice builds up in November and covers the shelf from January. Ice break-up begins in April; by July the entire region is ice-free. To protect spectacular cold-water “coral gardens,” 60 percent of the Aleutian shallow water habitat is closed to bottom trawling.

This function of gas exchange is so crucial that permanent brain damage usually occurs within minutes if it stops, and death follows quickly unless breathing resumes. Upper parts of the system, the nasal passages, pharynx and larynx, mainly provide a route for air to reach the trachea, or windpipe. Held open by rings of cartilage, the trachea funnels air to the point where large branches, the bronchi, diverge. At this fork in the respiratory road, air reaches its destination, the lungs. From this point onward, the so-called “respiratory tree” branches repeatedly into ever-narrower passages leading to clusters of microscopic sacs. In these alveoli, oxygen crosses into the blood, carbon dioxide comes out to be exhaled and life goes on.

Exhaled air rushing outward from the lungs must pass through an opening between the cords, called the glottis. Skeletal muscle controls the size of the opening. When the glottis is fully open, air passes freely outward, but when a person narrows or closes the cords, the air passing through them vibrates and produces sound waves. Movements of the tongue, palate, teeth and lips refine sounds into words or make additional

Horseshoe crabs (Limulus sp.) occur in areas as distant as
the Atlantic coast of North America and the Sea of Japan.
At spawning season, males move close to shore. Females arrive some days later. Males attach to the egg-bearing females,
which then drag the males along as they creep onto the shore. The males fertilize clusters of eggs the female deposits in a series of hollows scooped into the sand.

Endangered species Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) and pristine coral reefs are both endangered entities in the Indian Ocean. The former are being caught for the high quality of their tortoiseshell and meat; the latter are at risk because of overexploitation, pollution, and ocean acidification.

In the Indian Ocean major oil reserves lie in the Persian Gulf and off Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, and Australia. Fisheries, both commercial and local, are valuable to many nations around this ocean. Shrimps are a common catch along the coast, tuna in the open ocean. Minerals are mined along some shorelines.

Sediment life Sand or mud beaches are extremely challenging environments. The sun’s heat, salt water, salt-laden winds, and constant wave action all are potential threats to survival. As a result, many species in the intertidal zone spend much or all of their time burrowed beneath the surface or in the shelter of driftwood and washed-up seaweeds and shells. Microscopic animals thrive in the spaces between sand grains.

In this illustrated community, mud snails graze along the surface, moon snails and dog whelks hunt prey. Below the surface are buried worms, shrimps, and clams. These species extract food deposited on the surface or suspended in the water above it. Many more microscopic creatures inhabit the spaces between sediment particles.

Rocky shore life Complex communities of marine organisms survive along rocky shores. Most of those living in the intertidal zone have shells or other adaptations that help protect them from wave action and the drying effects of air. Mussels, oysters, limpets, sea stars, chitons, and snails attach to the hard substrate. Small fish and creatures such as sea urchins are found only underwater, in the subtidal zone.

The Indian Ocean is the smallest of the world’s four major oceans and has some unique characteristics. Unlike the Atlantic and Pacific oceans it is completely closed to the north, by the Asian landmass, and it hosts a major current, the Somali Current, that reverses its direction on a seasonal basis. All other subtropical basins such as the South Atlantic and the North Pacific have a strong western boundary current flowing poleward and a weak, wide drift as an eastern boundary current. By contrast the South Indian Ocean has a strong poleward current as well, the Leeuwin, along the west coast of Australia. The Indian Ocean has a mid-ocean ridge, as do the Pacific and the Atlantic, but the Indian Ocean’s ridge is complicated by the landmass of Madagascar and a number of other ridges running mostly in a north–south direction.

Rocky and sandy coasts Rock beaches, cliffs, and caves are prime features of erosional coasts, where wave action slowly wears away hard material forming the shore. Sandy beaches are a hallmark of depositional coasts, where rivers or wave action deposit sediment particles. Over a long time, erosional coasts retreat as the base material is worn away. Sandy coastlines tend to be more stable, but rising sea levels erode them.

The sea begins where tides ebb and flow—the intertidal or littoral zone. Whether this narrow ribbon consists of rocks, sand, or mud, it is populated by communities of organisms equipped to survive its challenges. Buffeted by waves, high-energy rocky shores are home to organisms that attach to the hard substrate, such as barnacles, limpets, sea stars, and kelps and other seaweeds. Sandy shores are suited to burrowers such as clams, worms, and shrimplike amphipods. Mudflats may also have large populations of clams and worms. Shorebirds are a feature of every littoral community, and meadows of sea grass abound in areas of soft sediments, providing food and shelter for animals ranging from tiny shrimps to massive sea turtles. Intertidal habitats are increasingly threatened by coastal development, sewage, and accumulating trash. Globally, tens of millions of tons of garbage —an estimated 80 percent of it plastic—pile up along the shore, entangling or poisoning wildlife and degrading the seaside’s natural beauty.

Where the East Pacific Rise comes to the surface in Baja California Peninsula it creates a narrow sea with a rich and unique ecosystem, the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez. Whales, rays, whale sharks, turtles, and many other migratory species are regular visitors to the region. There are resident populations of whales, sea lions, and elephant seals. The more than 800 species of fishes support the major part of Mexico’s fishery. There are more than 900 islands in the gulf and, of these, 244 are on UNESCO’s World Heritage list and provide a sanctuary for hundreds of bird species. West of the peninsula and farther north, coastal upwelling creates one of the richest ecosystems in the world’s oceans. Its once-vast schools of sardines disappeared through overfishing half a century ago, but sea otters still float among giant kelp, seaweed that grows 10 inches (27 cm) a day to reach 160 feet (50 m) at maturity.

The geology of Mars Mars has two distinct terrains: the heavily cratered southern highlands and the lowland plains of volcanic origin in the north. The comparatively few craters in the north suggest that this is the younger region. Mars does not have continental plates. The crust is probably thick, solid, and immobile, which explains how Martian volcanoes have grown to the extent that they are the largest in the known Solar System—the lava merely leaked out of the surface and kept on piling up. As well as volcanoes and craters, Mars is home to some vast canyons, again larger than any seen on Earth, and other features that seem to have resulted from flowing surface water. Perhaps the Red Planet was once a Blue Planet.
Named after the Roman god of war, the so-called Red R Planet has captured our imagination more than any other. Mars is not even remotely as hospitable as Antarctica. Y Yet, compared with the other inner planets, Mercury and V Venus, it seems almost friendly. Indeed, there may even have been life there once—and some argue that this may be true even today. Mars is a modestly-sized sphere of rock and iron, and the next world out from the Sun after Earth. Its eccentric orbit carries it from 1.41 to 1.64 times farther from the Sun than Earth, making it bitterly cold. Curiously, the length of the Martian day—24 hours and 37 minutes—is remarkably similar to Earth’s; but physically, these worlds differ enormously from each other. Mars is just half the diameter of Earth and has only 11 percent of its mass. Its boulder-strewn surface, red with oxidization, is constantly ravaged by planet-wide dust storms and riddled with immense craters, volcanoes, and canyons, all of which dwarf their earthly counterparts. And the Red Planet’s scant atmosphere—which is almost pure carbon dioxide and lacks a protective ozone layer— r—would be lethal to any unprotected interplanetary visitor. r The two t Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, are most likely captured asteroids, just a few miles in diameter each.

Ultraviolet light from the Sun breaks up molecules in the upper atmosphere into atoms that can escape the weak gravitational pull of Mars.
Core The Martian core is comparatively small, occupying perhaps 30 to 40 percent of the planet’s diameter (shown here with a core at the upper end of that scale). The low density of Mars indicates that the core may be of iron and iron sulfide, lighter than the nickel-iron k core of Earth. The weak magnetic field of Mars (Earth’s is 800 times stronger) suggests a relatively solid core.
The atmosphere and climate of Mars

Mars is far colder than Earth, a result of its relative distance from the Sun. Temperatures do sometimes rise above freezing in rare instances during the Martian summer, but otherwise they average –58ºF (–50ºC) and dip down to –190ºF (–123ºC) in the winter. The eccentric orbit makes for huge seasonal variations, with the polar caps alternately evaporating in the summer and then reforming in the winter from carbon dioxide snowfalls. Dust storms are also typical, smothering the planet in shrouds of fine red powder for weeks or even months.

Straddling both the ecliptic and the Milky Way, Sagittarius is a constellation of the zodiac representing an archer. This is a large assemblage with a huge array of striking star clusters and nebulas, and a number of medium-bright stars. Sagittarius is well known, for it pinpoints the location of the center of our galaxy. You cannot see the center itself because it is behind the Sagittarius star and dust clouds. But if you traveled in a straight line toward Sagittarius and beyond, you would eventually reach the very heart of our galaxy. Owing to the density of the Milky Way in Sagittarius, this is one of the best places to point your binoculars and scan around for celestial treasures. Immediately south is a fairly small constellation called Corona Australis (the Southern Crown). It is as faint as it is petite, but it does bear an interesting similarity to its northern counterpart, Corona Borealis.

Beyond Mars and the Asteroid Belt is the realm of the outer Solar System. The innermost planet here, Jupiter, is just over five astronomical units from the Sun, while Pluto, at its farthest, is ten times more distant. The planets occupying this region are not like the inner worlds. The two largest—Jupiter and Saturn—are gas giants, fluid planets made of super-compressed hydrogen and helium. Uranus and Neptune are ice giants—with thick atmospheres surrounding slushy mantles of ice and rock. Pluto, meanwhile, is a curiosity, a tiny planet in a class of its own. Pluto orbits within the Kuiper Belt, a donut-shaped volume containing tens of millions of rocky and icy worldlets. Finally, stretching perhaps as far as one-third of the way to the nearest star, is the Oort Cloud.
