With greenhouse gas emissions warming Earth and climate change increasing natural disasters, people and governments must reduce their dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels and move to clean, renewable energy sources. This series provides a comprehensive overview of six energy technologies that will protect and power Earth's future.

The Energy Lab series delves into different types of energy, discovering the science behind each form of energy, how we use it today, and how we might use it tomorrow. The reader is encouraged to make predictions, perform purpose-driven research, and creatively solve the problems presented. The reader begins to understand how the process of forming and answering questions and thinking critically is a key skill of investigation.

This series takes a future tense perspective on the energy issues that underlie the problems of today. With opportunities available to Mankind in the area of biofuels, energy mixing, and resource management, this series uses consistent Pro/Con features to illustrate to readers the need for good stewardship and leadership.

The Energy Sources series explains the science behind the fuels that power our world, how we use them, and how they impact the environment. Every book also includes a page for caregivers and teachers that suggests guiding questions to help aid in reading comprehension. Downloadable Teacher's Guide available.

Life in the wild forces adaptation. Predators need to hone their hunting skills or risk going hungry. Meanwhile, their prey must develop as escape artists to avoid becoming dinner. The strong survival instincts of dozens of plants and animals are on display in this series for advancing readers.

Engineering Challenges provides an in-depth look at eight engineering marvels. Each book explores one of the world's great challenges and the creative solutions engineers have used to solve them. A special challenge in each book provides a hands-on learning experience. This STEM-focused series provides a well-rounded introduction to the engineering process.

Today, engineers are creating ever-evolving technology to help us improve every aspect of our lives. This series explores great engineering evolutions from past to present, along with the potential transformations of the future. It uncovers how the great engineering minds of early and modern civilizations have invented technology to create amazing buildings, allow us to travel further and faster, harness energy, study the stars, combat natural disasters, and create military machinery. Readers will discover how they too could be part of this engineering evolution by building a career as a future engineer.

Disasters can strike at any time, and engineers have often led the effort to prepare for these events. This compelling series explores what engineers have learned from past disasters and what they are doing to keep people safe in the future.

If you believe tabloid newspapers or cable news networks, people are always just minutes away from a disaster. Although disasters do happen, the truth is that most times they don't. Thanks to the troubleshooting nature of engineering, airplanes tend to stay in the sky. Thanks to scientific research and studies, we know how to limit the spread of many deadly diseases. This STEM-focused series helps readers examine key details and draw conclusions about how engineering, science, technology help prevent disastrous events or lessen the impact of them.
