Review
The purpose of the 'Environment Challenge' series is to set out thought-provoking questions and then attempt to answer them. The reader is challenged to ask 'What would I do and how could I help to alleviate the situations and problems?'. Case studies, ideas for further research and advice on how to think critically and objectively about complex problems are presented. This is one of six books in the series. It is excellent, well set out and accessible to children so that they can become more aware of how we are all involved in the environmental dilemmas of the 21st century. This is an ideal book for the upper classes of a primary school. --Anthony Hamilton Jones, School Librarian Magazine Spring 2012
The world's population of over six billion people is putting increasing pressure on resources. Are there solutions to the many challenges facing the environment today? This is one in a series which encourages young people to think about what they would do about a range of local and global topics. This title covers farming, drought, water use and consumption. It is designed to make the reader think about the implications of the way we live and use resources and is ideal to support KS3 citizenship and geography teaching. Attractively presented, with lots of fact boxes and other devices to capture attention. --Parents in Touch website Dec 12
