The Secret Handbook of The Blue Circle

More about the book

Concept Development and Scientific Despo Fatta-Kassinos draws inspiration from the research conducted by the Nireas International Water Research Center at the University of Cyprus, led by Dr. Despo Fatta-Kassinos. Collaborating with renowned children's storyteller Antonis Papatheodoulou, the book offers an engaging educational adventure for children to grasp the essential role of water in life. Recognizing the significance of early scientific learning, the narrative aims to foster scientific literacy and inquiry among young readers. The story features six Water Scientists—Dr. Tom Atom, Dr. Celia Circle, Dr. Scot Water, Dr. Glow McCrystal, General Claire Clean, and Dr. André Antib—who seek new members for their 'Eternal Blue Circle Society.' The eight Secret Chapters delve into crucial topics such as the chemical properties of water, its cycle, uses, significance, water scarcity, historical perspectives on urban water supply, drinking water treatment processes, and the impact of traditional pollutants and emerging contaminants. The mission of the society's members is to study these contaminants and safeguard water and nature. Suitable for children aged six and older, the book also provides simple actions that young readers can take to help protect water quality and raise awareness about its conservation.
