(4) YA Special Reports series. This volume covers fracking, the cracking of underground rock formations to release trapped oil and gas. Hulick discusses the history of the process, the technical procedures involved, and the controversy related to water contamination and other environmental effects. Photographs add interest, and many sidebars (with tiny type) extend the text; the "From the Headlines" coverage will be quickly dated. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
