Ecological Disasters

Humans are inextricably linked to the biomes they inhabit. Ecological Disasters explores the indelible footprint humankind has wrought and the catastrophic situations we have created in the natural world. Each ecological disaster is examined to determine its causes, the science behind what is happening, its larger impact, and the ways we might turn the disasters around.

REVIEW:
The writing is engaging and informative, some of the titles taking a more narrative approach, while others are more scientific. All of them benefit from back matter that includes flowcharts that show cause and effect, and an ‘Essential Facts’ section that sums up key points. These volumes that look at difficult topics are critical reading for all students.
