Part green-lifestyle guide, part popular science, How Bad Are Bananas? is the first book to provide the information we need to make carbon-savvy purchases and informed lifestyle choices and to build carbon considerations into our everyday thinking. The book puts our decisions into perspective with entries for the big things (the World Cup, volcanic eruptions, the Iraq war) as well as the small (email, ironing, a glass of beer). And it covers the range from birth (the carbon footprint of having a child) to death (the carbon impact of cremation). Packed full of surprises — a plastic bag has the smallest footprint of any item listed, while a block of cheese is bad news — the book continuously informs, delights, and engages the reader. Solidly researched and referenced, the easily digestible figures, statistics, charts, and graphs (including a section on the carbon footprint of various foods) will encourage discussion and help people to make up their own minds about their consumer choices.

Big Ideas in Primary Science: Understanding the Climate Crisis takes a fresh approach to learning the science of climate change. It combines new thinking in science teaching using big ideas, with our growing need to look after our planet, and encourages children to learn from what scientists have to say about issues that will impact their lives today and in the future. The book offers primary teachers the subject and pedagogical knowledge, as well as the confidence they need, to integrate the seeds of big ideas into their curriculum. It provides models of good practice which exemplify how primary-aged children can work towards understanding some of science’s big ideas and engage with important issues related to climate change. There are also opportunities for children to develop skills and understanding from other curriculum areas, such as geography, design technology, and art. The easy-to-use book covers topics such as: Weather Climate Climate change Impact of the climate crisis on our lives Impact of the climate crisis on wildlife The world we must create Taking climate action By making the ideas their own, children can develop informed ways of thinking about issues related to climate change and feel empowered to act in ways which can make a difference. Full of ideas about the climate crisis, Big Ideas in Primary Science is a comprehensive, valuable, and essential resource for all teachers of primary science.
