What chemical reactions take place when eggs are fried? How does the colour get into fireworks? And where do we encounter chemical elements in everyday life? Chemistry. Elementary! is all about temperature, volume and energy. From sticky gecko feet to rockets taking off, it vividly illustrates how researchers have used these for research and technology.

Readers learn all about molecular bonds,  biochemical processes and reaction rates: with easyto-understand explanations, numerous illustrations and concise examples, the topic of chemistry becomes a big bang!  Dr Manfred Baur is a documentary filmmaker, science journalist and author. He studied chemistry, logic and philosophy of science and  never stops being curious. He has already written many exciting WAS IST WAS books for Tessloff.

Coco, Chuck, Amy, Mohit, and Paul have a special calling. They’re allowed to go to Whisperworld, where they roam through the jungle alone, sleep in trees, and learn something new about nature and the animals around them every day. They wait impatiently to see who is the first to be chosen to protect an endangered species – as its animal whisperer. Barbara Rose takes her readers into an enthralling primeval jungle, home to wild animals and fantastical beings, and sends her heroes on exciting adventures. And in the process, she manages to unobtrusively embed the themes of extinction and conservation into these fantastic stories. Barbara Rose is an author of children’s and YA books as well as a journalist. Before she started writing, she moderated radio shows for children and young adults and came up with story ideas for television.

Alina Brost, born in 1996, studied communication design with a major in illustration. She is fascinated by magical worlds and is constantly on the lookout for new adventures in books of all kinds. “A book full of fantasy on the subject of species protection!” Familie & Co.
