The pictures, captions, and FACTS provide the reader with specific examples of environmental issues presented in each chapter. . . .I can imagine this series being used as a jumping off point for your students to begin thinking about the diversity and talking about the interconnectedness of the issues surrounding Earth's endangered resources. * NSTA Recommends *
These volumes point to the role humans have played in endangering Earth's resources. The information is presented in four chapters; each book's final chapter focuses on what government and individuals can do now before it's too late. . . .texts are accessible and supported by photos, diagrams, and related fact boxes. * Nonfiction Notes from the Horn Book *
...these issues are important, and even if these introductions are stronger on general concepts than specific facts, they should stimulate enough concern to fuel further inquiry. * School Library Journal *
