About this deal

Our book author, Shini, has interviewed even more of the incredible engineers featured in Engineers Making a Difference. This book will be of particular interest to children who already have an interest in pursuing STEM careers as it shows the variety of areas in which they could work and the pathways they could follow to get there. The project is supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, set up by Lord Sainsbury to give charitable funding to science, education and art projects. Others we meet that drive home the variety of careers enabled via engineering include: an agricultural engineer who devises ways of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh after harvest, someone who makes packaging from seaweed to reduce plastic waste, engineers who work on prosthetics and, my personal favourite, an engineer in the theme park industry who loves “experiencing the rides I have worked on, with family and friends”. Imperial is working with the specialist children’s book publisher What on Earth Publishing, whose publications include the 'Britannica All New Children’s Encyclopedia' and 'It’s Up to Us', a roadmap to sustainability developed with The Prince’s Foundation.

The author, herself a mechanical engineer, has spoken to a diverse group of people from across the globe who are passionate about making the world a better place. Adam has authored and illustrated two non-fiction titles; An Illustrated History of Filmmaking and An Illustrated History of UFOs, the former now translated in over 6 languages.

There were some amazing innovations here, such as transforming carbon dioxide into clothing and using chicken feathers to create packaging, and it is always great to read books for children which focus on climate solutions rather than just the climate crisis.
