About the Book

This book explores the ways in which we are depleting the planet's resources, and the need to use them in a sustainable manner. Can we meet all our needs and wants without destroying our forests and fisheries?

About the Author :
Dr Jen Green worked in publishing for 15 years and is now a full-time writer who has written over 200 books for children, on geography, the environment, history, natural history, and other subjects. Her Heinemann-Raintree title on Sustaining Our Natural Resources was selected in 2011 for the Junior Library Guild's SLJ Curriculum Levels program.

Review :
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. Sherry Hoy, Library Media Specialist, Juniata HS and Tuscarora JHS, Mifflintown, Pennsylvania Library Media Connection March/April 2012 Recommended-- "Library Media Connection" Through short sentences and brief paragraphs, this terrific series focuses on the challenge of meeting people's basic needs for food, water, shelter, sanitation, education, and health care in developed and developing countries. Population Growth includes discussions of family planning and contraceptives; Preventing Disease explains the risks of smoking and includes a photo of lungs with cancer; alcohol and drug abuse are also mentioned. Glossary words appear in bold type, and a word bank runs along the bottom of pages. Well-chosen color photographs and illustrations with informative captions appear on every page, and numerous sidebars emphasize research strategies, problem solving, and thought-provoking questions. These books are excellent resources for students, offering constructive lessons on how to think critically.
