Review

"The books stress that climate change is happening now and its effects vary greatly from one locale to another, even within a single state. A typical volume opens with a climate crisis, discussing why it occurred and how measures such as wildlife restoration or replacing fossil fuels with wind or solar power may help. . . . Interesting to read and useful for school reports." —Booklist
"Eye-opening and informative. Highly recommended." —School Library Journal
