Impacting Earth: How People Change the Land
Since civilizations first arose on Earth, people have
depended on the natural world and its many resources for survival. For example,
people have found many ingenious ways of providing water for millions of people,
even in a desert! However, actions such as building dams, digging mines, and
paving roads have a profound influence on the environment. In these books,
readers learn how people impact Earth in order for civilizations to flourish,
and also how our actions can damage the planet. Each book discusses conservation
problems we face today due to human activities, and how people can work to fix
those problems.
