Splash with the Stickmen at the sea's surface, and then dive down through the darkening zones and into the abyss. But don't stop there! Follow the Stickmen to snorkel around coral gardens, find creatures that make their own light, and dive 7 miles down to the deepest trench. The Stickmen have plenty of oxygen (and wild facts) to keep you alert as you float past coral gardens, pods of humpback whales, robotic submarines, and the weirdest creatures of the deep.

Travel from the tops of skyscrapers to the depths of the subway system of a bustling city! Find out how people make use of each layer along the way.

Teeter on the edge of outer space with the Stickmen. Then fly down, down, down to atmospheric layers that wrap around Earth. Follow the Stickmen to view the galaxies through the Hubble Space Telescope and stop by the International Space Station. The Stickmen will take you on a tour of satellites in orbit, aircraft riding jet streams, and storms in the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. With phenomenal facts, cool diagrams, and photos from space, this will be a dizzy, action-packed ride!

Travel from the peaks of the tallest mountains to the depths of the lowest valleys to discover what each layer contains. Learn how people live in various environments and altitudes on Earth.

"From the edge of space to the ocean's depths"--Cover.

Join the savvy, accident prone Stickmen as they uncover each slice through the Earth to show what happens, and what exists, at all levels - everywhere: through layers of the atmosphere that wrap around the globe; from mountain tops and live volcanoes down to the molten core: from the ocean's sunlight zone to the deepest trench in the seabed and from the rooftop of the tallest skyscraper to the foundations of a city and its maze of underground tunnels. Discover: why aircraft ride the jet streams to improve their speed what makes a volcano explode the underground systems that keep cities running the creatures that live in the deepest parts of the oceans and much more.
