Can they outrun the pirates hot on their tails? After finding the first of the six legendary crowns, Trundle the lamplighter thought he could return to his quiet life in Shiverstones. But Esmeralda, the princess with a talent for magic and mischief, has other ideas. Their quest is far from over. With their new friend Jack the bard, Trundle and Esmeralda sail to new lands in search of Esmeralda's wise old aunt Will the mysterious Aunt Millie give them the clues they need to find the next treasure? Or are they walking straight into a trap?

Two of the six legendary crowns may have been found, but Trundle's quest is far from over. With bloodthirsty pirates right on their heels, the mild-mannered lamplighter and his friends--courageous Princess Esmeralda and Jack the bard--journey onward to the island of Swallowhaven. The citizens of Swallowhaven live in the lap of luxury, with many riches but little experience battling pirates. And before he can say "cabbages," Trundle and his crew are enlisted to join the fight to defend the island. Will the reluctant heroes make it out alive? And can they find the Crown of Fire before it falls into the wrong hands?

Mild-Mannered Lamplighter? Or Valiant Hero? Trundle is just like any other hedgehog in the small town of Shiverstones. But his simple, quiet life is turned upside down the night Esmeralda appears at his door. With bloodthirsty pirates right on her heels, she tells Trundle he is destined to join her on a quest to find the fabled Six Crowns, treasures that could unite the Sundered Lands once and for all. Together, they must journey across the skies, facing deadly enemies and danger around every corner. With the odds stacked against them, can Trundle find the courage to fulfill his destiny?

Field and laboratory studies are essential components of undergraduate training in Environmental Science alongside transferable skills such as computing and study skills. Practical work must be fully understood and effectively presented, but many students under-perform as they aim to acquire complex skills across a range of disciplines with limited opportunities for practice. Practical Skills in Environmental Science provides students with easy-to-read guidance for fieldwork, sampling, laboratory studies, project work and computing and communication skills, building on the strong reputation of the Practical Skills series as essential texts for those who wish to succeed. Practical Skills in Environmental Science is an indispensable book for undergraduate students in environmental science. This book supplements any practical course in environmental science and provides useful support at all stages of a degree course. It is also a valuable resource for teachers in secondary schools.
