Environmental Disasters

64 pp. | Lerner | March, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-6774-5 $27.93
(4) 4-6 Disasters Up Close series. This volume explains the causes and effects of environmental disasters such as the extinction of the passenger pigeon in 1914 and the 1986 Chernobyl explosion. Firsthand accounts and details add immediacy, though too many differing examples scatter focus. The many photographs and sidebars are informative, but they crowd the pages. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
Reviewer: Laura A. Woollett
