Ake introduces readers to the Everglades ecosystem, from its great "River of Grass" to the intricate interdependency of its plants and animals--including humans that both exploit it and fight to restore it. Though the densely packed pages are off-putting, the many photographs of exotic animals, sidebars, and some maps help enhance the presentation. Websites. Bib., glos., ind.

Endangered Animals and Habitats series.
These calls to action achieve an artful balance: general information about the subjects is peppered with provocative sidebars ("Gorilla Humor," "Is the Giant Panda a Bear?"); gruesome images reinforcing a point about an animal's mistreatment are often tempered with a relevant cartoon. Unfortunately, the black-and-white photos are sometimes blurry and dark. Bib., glos., ind.
