Endangered Places Knowledge Card Deck

The Earth is forever changing:



The Earth is forever changing. An age of ice is succeeded by drought—and then another ice age. Sporadic mass extinctions seem to threaten life itself. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the forces of change seem to have conspired: deserts are spreading, cities and farms are gobbling down open spaces, seas are rising. To cope with an increasing number of endangered places, local and international efforts have included evacuating low-lying islands, diverting water flows, and encouraging eco-tourism. This deck of 48 quiz cards surveys the globe, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Amish farmlands of Pennsylvania, testing your knowledge and teaching you all about the threatened regions of the Earth.

New Knowledge Card Week: TO THE MOON!

Ooops we missed one this week so today we are going to present 2 new decks to you. Here's the first one:-

TO THE MOON: A Quiz Deck on the Lunar Journey





This fact-packed quiz deck delves deep into the story of lunar exploration—the technology and spacecraft, the personnel, the national politics, and more—with forty-eight cards written in a lively Q&A format. Each card front poses a question, such as “Which Apollo mission was the first to carry astronauts into space?” or “What were the first words spoken from the lunar surface?” Answers are on the card backs, with pertinent, insightful background information. From the extraordinary concerted effort behind the first Apollo mission to the last astronaut to set foot on the moon, To the Moon! offers an absorbing mini-course on the race to explore our planet’s nearest neighbour.

Published with the Smithsonian Institution.
With 48 fact-filled cards per package, Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information—all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards.

Knowledge Card Deck Week: Rocks & Minerals

Day 2 of our New Knowledge Card Deck week:-

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ROCKS, MINERALS, AND GEMS?

Quiz Deck

Pristine diamonds, radiant rubies and sapphires, and other gorgeous gems captivate us with their extraordinary beauty and brilliance. But beyond their aesthetic appeal, the gems, minerals, and rocks of the world are essential to our very existence; they are the building blocks of the universe. This quiz deck presents a well-rounded sampling of mineral lore in a Q&A format, with a question—often accompanied by a color photograph—on the front and the answer on the back of each of the forty-eight cards. Together they offer a fascinating tour of the mineral kingdom, from the legendary Hope Diamond to corals and cultured pearls, dazzling crystalline caves, and the mysterious sarsens of Stonehenge.

Sample Card TextAmber, jet, coral, shell, pearl, and ivory are collectively known as what?

Answer Organic gems. These are all formed by or from living matter. Amber is fossilized tree sap; jet is a type of coal formed from ancient plant matter. Coral and shells are the exoskeletons of certain marine organisms, and pearls are concretions formed by certain shelled mollusks. Ivory is dentine formed by different mammals but is most commonly elephant tusk.

Brand New Knowledge Card Week

In our Brand New Product Launch we have some new Knowledge Card Decks and we are going to feature a new deck every day of this week. As always, they are eclectic, fun and more important: they are all available now!

EACH DECK contains 48 cards with questions or images on one side and answers or images on the reverse. Bite-sized info in one neat pack, retailing at £5.95.

Todays deck is:  IN SEARCH OF A PERFECT WORLD, Architectural, Political, Social, and Literary Vision of Utopia.

From the People’s Church to Plato’s republic, utopian communities too often fail as extremism edges out moderation. What child of Woodstock could tolerate the Platonic state, with its embargo on music? And as to Thomas More’s creation, it’s all about perspective: the slaves who drove Utopia’s economy might have preferred a different arrangement.

Yet time and again women and men have left the hurly-burly of the city for an agrarian idyll in the belief that a perfect world—or a nearly perfect acre—might be possible. This quiz deck of 48 cards, with questions on one side and answers on the other, offers a realistic survey of utopias around the world and throughout history.

With 48 fact-filled cards per package, Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information—all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards.
