Science News Flash series.
Each book's three sections earnestly present recent news, science, history, current and future considerations, and suggested corrections for the problems. Captioned photos and some charts illustrate the books. Plentiful documentation and up-to-date information are strengths; some carelessness in fact-checking and copy-editing is a weakness. Suggestions for individual action ("Conserve water," "Consider using mass transit") are included. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Science News Flash titles: The Environment in the News and Water in the News.
