Little brown bats do us a big favor. They eat huge numbers of insects! That helps limit the spread of diseases and the damage that insects do to farm crops. But in recent years, large populations of little brown bats have been dying off each winter. Is a virus killing them? Could climate change or pesticides be the cause? Or is it something else? Follow a team of dedicated scientists working to save the little brown bats in this real-life science mystery.

Honeybees are a crucial part of our food chain. As they gather nectar from flowers to make sweet honey, these bees also play an important role in pollination, helping some plants produce fruit. But large numbers of honeybees are disappearing every year...and no one knows why. Is a fungus killing them? Could a poor diet be the cause? What about changes to bees' natural habitat? In this real-life science mystery, scientists and beekeepers are working to answer these questions...and save the world's honeybees before it's too late.

A Terra é um planeta cheio de vida, diversidade e beleza. Ela abriga incontáveis espécies animais, incluindo o ser humano. Até onde sabemos, ela é o único planeta com as condições propícias para a vida neste vasto universo. Mas seus recursos não são infinitos. O uso em larga escala e muitas vezes indevidos destes recursos está causando estragos irreversíveis ao nosso lar e é preciso agir agora para garantir a vida na Terra para as futuras gerações. Uma reflexão importantíssima sobre nosso papel na preservação daquela que é a nossa casa, agora em nova edição.
