Yet, in "Adventures on Earth' by Simon Tyler, you'll get a vicarious chance to discover what life is like for indigenous people living in some of the harshest and most extreme conditions across our planet.
From the blistering hot sun and arid atmosphere in our deserts, to the frost-bitten toe-tingling cold of our frozen wastes.
Simon Tyler's graphic style takes us on a whirlwind journey across the globe as we discover what life is like in the highest, deepest, coldest and hottest regions.
Following on from his superb book "Adventures in Space, it's time to join him once again in discovering the world's most wild terrain and the humans and animals whose lives are under threat from the unfolding environmental catastrophe our world is facing.
It's a rallying call for kids who both love learning about the amazing world we live on, but also want to do something about ensuring it's here for generations to come.
