Discover the Extreme World

Did you know that the temperature at the centre of the earth reaches a staggering  5,400 degrees centigrade; that an unprotected submarine  would be crushed like a tin can at 2,100 metres under the sea, and that the fastest motor bikes can race at speeds up  to 200mph?

Divided into six sections (active earth, awesome animals, incredible science, ultimate machines, super humans and history revealed) this exciting fact-filled book is vividly written, expertly researched and brilliantly designed and will keep children engrossed for hours.

Discover the Extreme World is authored by an expert team of UK-based non-fiction authors including Camilla de la Bedoyere, John Farndon, Clive Gifford, Steve Parker, Stewart Ross and Philip Steele. It is the first in a new series called Discover the World, published by Miles Kelly in association with Discovery Channel.
