A beautiful pop-up book as you've never seen before. Swing through the lush jungle canopy, crunch across the glittering ice floes, prowl through the savanna grasslands. In each habitat, a wild creature hides. Can you guess who they are from the clues they give about themselves? Lift the spectacular spiral pop up to reveal the answer and meet each magnificent animal in it's home. Children learn what the animal eats, where it lives, what it looks like and what animal family it belongs to, as well as some quirky and funny facts about it. The reader then reveals by pulling up a tab on the opposite page, a creature suspended on a sturdy but invisible plastic cord. The creature appears in a whirlwind of spiralling paper at home in it's natural environment. At the animal's feet is it's name and so the pop up reveals the answer in a uniquely beautiful and satisfying way.

Fighters made of bronze, gigantic wall reliefs depicting heroic cosmonauts, and socialist pomp: When you enter subway stations in Eastern Europe and in countries that were once part of the USSR today, time seems to stand still. The stations are chronicles of the history and art of a long vanished world power. In this volume, photographer Frank Herfort presents around 20 metro systems of the Soviet era from Moscow to Bucharest, from Baku to Tbilisi. His focus is on the details, capturing over 700 works of art with his camera. They were conceived as prestige projects, thousands of kilometers apart and created under different conditions in different times. The stations in his photographs come together to form a holistic and comprehensive representation of socialist art that does not stand alone but relates to the everyday life of people today.

Join Toby the Bison in this fact-filled adventure as he explores the Ice Age Tundra and meets some of the giants that roamed it's icy surface. Ten thousand years ago, the Earth was in the grips of what Paleontologists call the Last Glacial Period, but what you and I have come to know as the Ice Age. The inhabitants of this frozen landscape lived in some of the coldest conditions the earth has ever experienced. But before these giants grew to their great size, they were young and, like Toby, very, very inquisitive. "Toby and the Ice Giants" is a wonderfully illustrated story that delivers digestible facts about the Earth's historic inhabitants. Share in Toby's lively curiosity, experience the danger of the polar climes and meet some larger than life characters on the way.
