Editorial Reviews

These books do an admirable job of encouraging students to make up their own minds about various worldwide environmental obstacles. Charts, graphs, and other visuals are utilized to explain facts. Organizational aids such as Venn diagrams, KWL charts, concept webs, problem solving models, survey ideas, etc. are included and explained as ways to expand research. Although this is exemplary nonfiction with complementary photographs and illustrations of key concepts, there is a lot of information packed into each slim volume. For less motivated readers, this makes the reading dry. No topic is examined or explained in great detail. However, these books provide a good place to start research or to help readers clarify their own opinion. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index.
