图书介绍

Water is essential to life for plants and animals. Water divides geographical locations and requires laws and agreements between countries, states and communities. An introduction to everything you ever wanted to know about water science and water issues, with accompanying research and activity ideas, can be found here. Presented with an international perspective, volume 1 includes the basics of water science; oceans and saltwater; fresh water; estuaries and wetlands; ice; and water, weather and climates. Volume 2 examines science and technology, science and research, economic uses of water, recreational uses of water, and history and culture. Issues environmental, legal and political are found in volume 3.

Each volume begins with the same Readers Guide, 26 pages of Words to Know, Research and Activity Ideas and end with Where to Learn More. Individual articles have books and Web sites to look for additional information. Sidebars also have Words to Know and insert boxes offer additional information, biographies and descriptions of water-related activities. Each volume has eight pages of color photographs placed together within a chapter. Other photos and illustrations are black-and-white. Show this to your science teachers. It will be helpful also to social studies teachers who can use the information on this scarce commodity as a prelude for the creation of laws. Recommended for upper-middle school and high school.
