According to the World Hunger Education Service, there are about 815 million hungry people in the world, or more than 10 percent of our population. But hunger isn't just a problem in far-away places that you see on TV. In fact, about one in six American kids doesn't know where their next meal will come from. A regular lack of food--or, sometimes, too much unhealthy food--can result in the condition called malnutrition. This book will tell you everything you need to know about malnutrition--what it is, how it happens, and what we can do to end it. We have all heard the old saying, "you are what you eat." The six volumes in Health & Nutrition will explain the many ways in which the food choices you make every day can help or hurt your body's functioning. The books also look at physical fitness, the importance of good hygiene, and the many challenges of keeping food safe from contamination. From the key components of a balanced diet to avoiding foodborne illnesses, and from the impact of stress on health to how malnutrition hurts the body, these books are packed with useful information about protecting and improving your health.

Over the centuries civilizations rise and fall. Before European explorers reached the shores of North and Central America, a great empire arose: the Aztecs. Leaving their original home in the north, the Aztecs came south, looking for the right place to build their dream city. They chose the most unlikely of places to settle- a snake-filled, barren island in the middle of a swamp. But with their energy, imagination, and determination, they not only built their city but conquered all those surrounding them to spread an empire more than 80,000 square miles (130,000 sq. km). Meet the Aztec gods, and learn what the Aztecs did to keep them happy. Discover what its like to walk in the footsteps of an Aztec warrior, a noblewoman, a priest, or a slave.
