Here are the latest titles in YA non-fiction out this month!
We're living in an Ah-Ha moment. Take 250 years of human ingenuity.
Add abundant fossil fuels. The result: a population and lifestyle never before
seen. The downsides weren't visible for centuries, but now they are. Suddenly
everything needs rethinking – suburbs, cars, fast food, cheap prices. It's a
changed world.
This
book explains it. Not with isolated facts, but the principles driving attitudes
and events, from vested interests to denial to big-country syndrome. Because
money is as important as molecules in the environment, science is joined with
politics, history, and psychology to provide the briefing needed to comprehend
the 21st century.
Extensive
back matter, including a glossary, bibliography, and index, as well as numerous
references to websites, provides further resources.
Explaining
etiquette from A (“Applause”) to Z (“Zits”), Alex J. Packer blends outrageous
humor with sound advice as he guides readers and explains why manners and
etiquette are important—because people who know how to handle themselves in
social situations come out on top, get what they want, feel good about
themselves, and enjoy life to the fullest.
This one is just in time for Halloween!!
Do you believe in ghosts? Enter the realm of the paranormal with Kelly
Milner Halls. Explore what ghosts are, where they're found, and meet some

a look at a few famous hoaxes. This book is a little bit spooky and a whole lot
of fun!
