Conserving and Protecting Water

Readers find out what kids can do to help save and protect this precious resource.

Green Issues in Focus series. These volumes on environmental topics include both subject-specific information and suggestions for teens about how to be mindful on an individual level. Issues such as resource conservation and pollution control are examined from scientific and historical perspectives; possible solutions are also discussed. The texts, accompanied by stock photos and sidebars, are somewhat hindered by uninspired layouts. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2011
