Encyclopedias have been a part of education since pretty much forever. As research staples, encyclopedias are essential. They're also good books to have just in case you're stranded on a deserted island without an internet connection and you really need to know the wingspan of an osprey or the primary export of Nicaragua. Well, thanks to Kingfisher Books, there's an encyclopedia that's not only informative, but pretty cool, too. In "The Kingfisher Encyclopedia of Life: Minutes, Months, Millennia--How Long is a Life on Earth," gorgeous shots of different organisms are laid out according to how long they live. Starting with things that live 1-7 days and ending with 5000-plus years, this book is full of random and fascinating information that is sure to grab the attention on any grade-school age reader out there.
