Join charismatic scientist Anna Ploszajski (expert consultant for DK title What's it Made Of?) as she weaves 100 stories that reveal the essence of human achievement. From organizing ourselves into societies, with justice, education, and governments of many types, to creating art and music that can move us to tears, humans never stop experimenting. We have storytelling and humour; we have learned to build rockets and iPhones, bridges and skyscrapers. Amazing Us is a joyous celebration of everything that makes us amazing. This ambitious book transcends traditional encyclopedias to celebrate our obvious achievements as well as the everyday miracles kids may well take for granted.
