Joy Masoff Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Everything about fighting fires--the rigs, the gear, the fires, the rescues, the past, and the future--in a dramatic, action-packed, photographic presentation. FIRE! is an informational book with a dramatic flair. It's chock full of the details, both narrative and visual, of fighting fires and rescuing people--vehicles from pumper trucks to hovercraft, protective clothing from boots to special clothing to wear when working with hazardous materials, equipment from hoses to the golf tees firefighters carry in their helmets to plug leaks in gas tanks and storage drums. It's all here in living color, the generalists, both professional and volunteer, and the specialists--smoke jumpers and hot shots (forest firefighters), arson investigators, emergency

Kids love stuff that's gross. From the liquids, solids, and gases--especially the gases!--or their own bodies to the creepy, crawly, slimy, slithery, fetid, and feculent phenomena in the world at large, kids with a curious bent just can't get enough. Oh, Yuck! The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty brings together, in one book, all the good things about some of the baddest things on Earth. Exhaustively researched and impeccably scientific, yet written with a lively lack of earnestness, Oh, Yuck! is an ants to zits encyclopedic compendium covering people, animals, insects, plants, foods, and more. Here are vampire bats, which sip blood and pee at the same time so that they'll always be light enough to fly away; and slime eels, wreathed in mucus and eating fellow fish from the inside out. Oh, Yuck! explains why vomit smells; where dandruff comes from; what pus is all about; and why maggots adore rotting meant. Other features include gross recipes, putrid projects, 10 foods that make you airborne, and more. With hundreds of cartoon illustrations and real-life photographs, Oh, Yuck! is the complete guide to the irresistible--at least to an 8-to-12 year old--underbelly of life.
