WHAT ON EARTH BOOKS & BRITANNICA BOOKS

AUTUMN 2020 + Complete Backlist What on Earth Publishing

Welcome to the What on Earth Books and Britannica Books Children’s Catalogue What a special year this is turning out to be! Nothing could be more exciting for us than to present you with the first fruits of our new collaboration with Encyclopaedia Britannica, makers of the famous 250-year-old encyclopedia that changed the world.

Britannica Books perfectly complements the curiosity-driven approach of What on Earth Books. And it is with enormous pride that we unveil the first new printed Britannica children’s encyclopedia to be launched in a generation!

The All New Britannica Children’s Encyclopedia – What We Know & What We Don’t is a magnificent reference book for 8–12 year olds containing completely new, up to-the-minute information and beautiful, specially commissioned illustrations.

And in true Britannica style, there is an expert behind every single page.

Our second Britannica title is 5-Minute Really True Stories for Bedtime, which is designed for younger readers (aged 4–8) and their parents to read together before bedtime. Find out about everything bedtime, from why we sleep to why animals hibernate and what jobs people do at night.

This year also sees us take our first steps into the world of audiobooks. June will see the release of the Absolutely Everything! audiobook and in October will come the 5-Minute Really True Stories for Bedtime audiobook, read by the wonderful Joanna Lumley, star of British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous.

And let’s not forget our What on Earth Books list, which blasts off with Space Maps, an intergalactic adventure through the cosmos. This large-scale book includes 24 stunning maps showing everything from constellations to planets and nebulae, readers will be masters of the universe in no time.

Introduction

Back down on Earth, you can immerse yourself in the history of music with Music: A Fold Out Graphic History, produced in association with one of the world’s most famous concert venues, London’s Royal Albert Hall, to coincide with its 150th anniversary.

Lastly, there is also our growing backlist, which we hope will continue to inspire everyone who believes, as we do, that the real world really is far more amazing than anything you can make up.

Best wishes, Christopher Lloyd CEO, Founder, What on Earth Publishing

In November, bears head for their beds and roll into a furry ball. Their breathing slows down, and their heart rate drops from fifty-five to just nine beats a minute. As their body gets colder, they enter into a deep sleep called a torpor. If they’re left undisturbed, bears won’t wake for months. They don’t eat, drink or go to the loo because bears have an amazing ability to hold it all in. How? They develop a plug in their bottom made from dried poo!

Although a female bear mates in early summer, her babies won’t grow in her womb until she has entered her sleepy torpor. After two months, she gives birth to as many as four blind, bald and toothless cubs, each weighing little more than a large potato. They use all their baby strength to suckle milk from their mother who hardly even wakes throughout the whole process.

Buckle up for an extraordinary ride through the 14-billion year history of absolutely everything! Written and narrated by best-selling world history author Christopher Lloyd, this remarkable story (which is far more amazing than anything you can make up) sweeps through natural history with the creation of planet Earth, the beginning of life, the age of dinosaurs, mass extinctions, and the rise of prehistoric humans. The story then leaps through the ancient civilizations and into medieval times, where wars, revolutions, and scientific inventions reshape the world. Finally we arrive in the modern age which brings with it new challenges of pollution, climate change, viral pandemics, and much more. How will a world of 8 billion humans survive in the future?

Christopher Lloyd began his career as a journalist with the Sunday Times newspaper. Then, one day, he had a realisation: even with a 1st class degree in history from Cambridge University and experience as a science writer, there was so much about the world he didn’t know. So, he set out to write books that showed how seemingly unrelated events fit together. And so, Chris created the now bestselling Absolutely Everything!. A book that uses engaging prose and lively illustration and photography, to give diverse perspectives on the world.

Chris now divides his time between writing inspiring books and delivering workshops to curious kids and his books have sold over 1 million copies.

He lives in Tonbridge, Kent, with his wife and two adorable terriers.

‘From the Big Bang to computer technology, it tells, in simple, chatty sentences, a story that tries to account for as much as possible about our world!’

The Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Year ‘Perfect for any child who wants to know about absolutely everything.’

Telegraph Christmas Books 2018 ‘Absolutely fascinating. I love the mixture

of information, humour, photographs, illustrations and reflection. This creates a book that is fun and easy to read and accessibly informative...[It] can be enjoyed and appreciated by all the family.’
