内容简介

Explains the changing seasons, their effects on plants, animals, and humans, and a variety of seasonal festivals. 　　A companion volume to the The Complete Book of the Night, The Complete Book of the Seasons explains which birds build nests in the spring, why we sweat in summer, how we can predict autumn’s weather with a pinecone, and where snow sculptures are made in the winter. A truly comprehensive and global guide, this book studies the seasons across both hemispheres, investigates dry and monsoon seasons, and explains why some parts of the earth do not experience seasonal changes at all. Young readers can even find out about seasons on other planets.A reference section at the back of the book includes an index and a calendar of holidays, festivals, and weather conditions.
