Predicting earthquakes

Written for young readers, this nonfiction title connects classroom science to the world outside school, using examples that students will recognise or can easily picture. Its pages introduce working scientists and the research they do, and they point readers toward further information and the career paths that lead into such fields. Throughout the book, boxed "Science You Learn" panels tie the ideas students meet in the curriculum to practical uses. The overall aim is to show why science matters, the many ways it is applied, and how new discoveries can affect the wider world.
