Series review:
Incredibly Disgusting Environments
"These titles
establish how agricultural advances and nuclear power have raised the quality of
life in Western and industrialized regions. However, the benefits often come
with consequences that wreak havoc on the environment and people's health ... Each
book contains four to five chapters and presents authoritative information,
including research findings, about the destruction of the world's soils and food
supplies and the negative effects of radiation and pesticides. The books provide
advice about what readers can do to improve or prevent these problems.
Well-chosen photos and captions are integrated into the text. Additional
sidebars contain myths, facts, and 10 questions that students can ask an
environmentalist."
