Features: Did you know that soap is made from fat, and chalk comes from tiny ocean creatures? Almost everything in the world comes from nature. Take a look at how over sixty types of food, drinks, toys, clothes, and everyday items transform from nature. While technology changes rapidly, the steps from raw materials to finished products remain the same. Each page of this book describes these processes step by step. The fun and engaging illustrations will surely attract young readers. Whether you want to learn about soccer or silk, pencils or chocolate, this book will reveal the secrets behind them. In this book, we will show you the manufacturing processes of 69 familiar items. Here, you won’t find high-tech products like computers and smartphones, as their production is too complex to be explained clearly in limited space. But you will discover many old friends. You’ll begin to uncover some of the mysteries around you—such as how plants and rocks turn into cola cans, how trees become guitars, and why jeans are blue.
