Abstract: Join maverick inventor Steve Mushin as he tackles climate change with an avalanche of mind-bending, scientifically plausible inventions to rewild cities and save the planet. Jump into his brain as he designs habitat-printing robot birds and water-filtering sewer submarines, calculates how far compost cannons can blast seed bombs (over a kilometre), brainstorms biomaterials with scientists and engineers, studies ecosystems and develops a deadly serious plan to transform cities into jungles, rewilding them into carbon-sucking mega-habitats for all species, and as fast as possible. Through marvellously designed and hilarious engineering ideas, Mushin shares his vision for super-high-tech urban rewilding, covering the science of climate change, futuristic materials and foods, bio reactors, soil, forest ecosystems, mechanical flight, solar thermal power and working out just how fast we could actually turn roads into jungles, absorb carbon and reverse climate change

Abstract: "A tale of how Tutti the Raccoon goes to school for the first time. He has waited for this day for so long! But why then, when it was time to say goodbye to his mom, did he suddenly cling to her and not want to let her go? It's very difficult for preschool children to experience inner conflict. On the one hand, they want to do something, and on the other, they are scared and just can't let go of their mom! This story will help children cope in situations where they need to say goodbye to an adult they are attached to, such as when they have to go to school or when mom or dad leave for work. The simple words said by the mother to her baby raccoon have become a magic thread to hold on to, even at a distance. Wherever you are, wherever you go ..."

Abstract: "Night time. That means it's time to go to bed. Tutti did not like to go to bed. So he did not like night time. This is how it begins not only the tale of Tutti the raccoon, but almost every evening in a family with a preschool child. Oh those "I'm thirsty," "I'm hungry," "I'm not done playing"--Every time we say it's time to go to bed!. What is the real reason why kids don't want to go to bed? And how can we help make it easier for them to do that?"

Abstract: One day Tutti the raccoon woke up in his forest and was horrified to see that all his favorite green trees had turned yellow! He was outraged! At first he politely asked them to turn green again, then he yelled and demanded. But nothing worked... Every one of us encounters situations where something doesn't go quite the way we wanted it to. Young children can get frustrated a 100 times a day which causes them a storm of emotions. They start fighting, screaming, falling on the floor, throwing tantrums, calling names and biting! We can try to punish them for this, try to explain that this is not the way to behave. We can even threaten them with "natural consequences"... But we quickly learn that it simply doesn't work. This book can help a child understand their emotions and express them in a civilized way.
