Buildings & construction (Children's&YA)

Discover the intricate workings and consequences of human actions!

Understand how humans have shaped the world, their actions and reactions, through fun illustrated flowcharts that demonstrate STEM processes and consequences.

What happens when an astronaut needs to wee, when a bridge collapses or when too many trees get chopped down? The actions humans take can have a dramatic effect on ourselves and the world around us.

Humans at Work explores the relationships between people and things, their actions and reactions, and what happens when processes don't go according to plan. From tiny incidents to giant events, discover how cause and effect work in the human world and beyond. This bumper book is perfect for curious kids aged 9+

Paul Mason (Author) Paul's books cover a wide range of subjects, from whether the Romans ate crisps to how to build the world's best skatepark, but he writes mostly about sport. Whether you are interested in swimming, cycling, snowboarding, surfing or another sport, Paul has probably written something that will inspire you to get out and give it a try. Paul writes in a shack by the beach, which he shares with his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy.
