Where Have All the Bees Gone?:
Pollinators in Crisis
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY BOOKS
Apples, blueberries, peppers, cucumbers, coffee, and vanilla. Do you like to eat and drink?
Then you might want to thank a bee. Around the world, bees pollinate $24 billion worth of
crops each year. Without bees, humans would face a drastically reduced diet. We need
bees to grow the foods that keep us healthy. But numbers of bees are falling, and that has
scientists alarmed. What’s causing the decline? Diseases, pesticides, climate change, and
loss of habitat are all threatening bee populations. Some bee species teeter on the brink
of extinction. Learn about the many bee species on Earth - their nests, their colonies, their
life cycles, and their vital connection to flowering plants. Most importantly, find out how
you can help these important pollinators.

Into the Deep: Science, Technology,
and the Quest to Protect the Ocean
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY BOOKS
Containing 97 percent of Earth’s water supply, the ocean plays a huge role in regulating
global temperatures, supporting plant and animal life, and contributing to the livelihoods
of millions of people. But in spite of all this, the ocean remains drastically unexplored,
and the details of its impact on human lives aren’t fully understood. What lies in the
deep? And who is at the forefront of these exciting discoveries? The scientists and
research included in this book shed light on the most pressing issues currently facing
oceanographers and point us in the right direction to solving these challenges.
