The Future of the Earth: An Introduction to Sustainable Development for Young Readers

74 pp. | Abrams | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8109-5018-9 $16.95
(4) 4-6 Adapted by Robert Burleigh. Photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The large aerial photographs in this coffee-table book illustrate some worldwide environmental problems. The accompanying text mentions overpopulation, pollution, erosion, soil depletion, and overfishing, among other issues, and stresses sustainable development. The arrangement of topics may be viewed in several ways, but a clear path through problems to solutions is not carefully presented. Best for browsing.
