Eating the Sun – by Oliver Morton [ages 16–up]

Energy, Plants and Man -- by David Walker [ages 16–up]

Like Clockwork--by David Walker [ages 16-up] A story about energy transduction in photosynthesis, in digital format, on CD. "Once upon a time everything ran like clockwork; or so it seemed. Now, very little does; not even clocks. There is no longer much need to wind up clocks and watches. Hand-wound gramophones have long since gone to antique shops. But, if they are to 'run' at all, such things still need energy. Almost invariably, be they new clocks, cars, computers, or old gramophones, rabbits or people, their energy comes from the same source. Hence the title--'Like Clockwork.' And what is it about? It is to do with where our energy comes from, how we get our hands on it and what happens in consequence."Now available for immediate download (PDF) from BitPass http://www.oxygraphics.co.uk/cat.html
