Stewart presents a basic definition of droughts and then clearly explains the gradual effects of droughts on plant and animal life. The efforts of scientists to understand their causes--and of citizens in drought-prone areas to conserve water--are also discussed. Evocative illustrations depict arid landscapes and friendly scientists and families acting responsibly in low-water conditions. Activities and conservation tips are appended. Websites. Glos.
