Features: "MaDou's 100,000 Whys: Society, Culture, Environment" – Of course, there are exams in school; of course, boys like blue; of course, people love each other. It's easy for us to take things around us for granted, not bothering to explore their reasons. But when you start asking "Why do we have exams in school?" you'll realize that life isn't just about assumed answers. We've invited several university professors and professionals to provide in-depth yet simple explanations for some socially assumed questions, teaching children how to think critically about the world around them and understand how to analyze problems in this age of information overload, so they're less easily swayed by others' opinions. "MaDou's 100,000 Whys: Insects, Plants, Marine Life" – Careful observation reveals how amazing nature is: beautiful flowers, trees, and forests adorn every corner of the Earth; a variety of marine life brings vitality to the water world; and unique, interesting insects leave us in awe. Why are the colors of marine life richer than those of freshwater life? Why don't spiders get stuck in their own webs? Why do cacti have so many spines? In this book, "Why" represents our curiosity. The scholars' simple yet insightful answers not only unravel some mysteries but also inspire us to explore more wonders in nature!
