This important and informative title first outlines how climate change and human activities have negatively impacted people’s access to food and clean water. It also emphasizes how scientists are working on solutions and everyone can do their part to help. Chapters cover the greenhouse effect, food biodiversity, water pollution, nuclear power and alternative energy, the future of food, and many other topics. Color photos and diagrams help explain the science, and the back matter (which includes a glossary, list of nonprofit and government organizations, further reading list, link to a Web site list updated by the publisher, bibliography, and an index) will aid report writers and students who are inspired to investigate further.
