The Essential Mary Midgley by Mary Midgley

Kids ask lots of questions What would it be like if an animal was there to answer some of their biggest questions about the natural world? Readers see for themselves in these helpful introductions to habitats. Many familiar science topics are covered--from biomes to adaptations--but with a fun twist A cute cartoon animal guides readers through their habitat, answering common questions and sharing fun facts along the way. A polar bear guides them through the Arctic, a frog takes them on a tour of a pond, and a toucan gives them a bird's-eye view of the rainforest

Mary Midgley (1919–2018) was one of the leading moral philosophers of her generation and has been described by The Guardian as 'the foremost scourge of scientific pretension in this country'. Many of her books are available in Routledge Classics, including Beast and Man, Wickedness and The Myths We Live By.

David Midgley is a social and environmental activist and a teacher of Buddhist philosophy and meditation. In 1996 he founded Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds, and taught regularly at the Centre for 25 years.
