Prince Charles co-authors climate change book

Britain's Prince Charles has co-authored a book for adults, written in the style of a well-known children's Ladybird books in the UK, on the challenges and possible solutions to climate change.
'Climate Change: A Ladybird Expert Book' has been written with an aim to clearly explain complicated subjects.
The guide has also been co-authored by former 'Friends of the Earth' director Tony Juniper and climate scientist Emily Shuckburgh.
The heir to Britain's throne first approached Penguin, which publishes the Ladybird series, with the idea last year.
"It was a coincidence, where we were thinking about a new series for adults after the huge success of the spoof books, but this time wanted some factual books by experts on science, history and arts subjects. So the call and the idea from Clarence House [Prince Charles' office] was the catalyst for the new series," Rowland White, a publishing director at Penguin, was quoted as saying by The Sunday Times.

The book, which like all others will be 48 pages long, has illustrations by Ruth Palmer in the old-fashioned style of the original Ladybird titles.

'Ladybird' produced a series of books for children in the 1960s and 1970s and has recently found renewed success with a range of humorous books for adults.
Titles include the 'Ladybird Book of the Mid-Life Crisis' and the 'Ladybird Book of the Hangover'.
The latest series involves experts explaining complex subjects in simple form. The new 'Climate Change' book will be released on January 26.
