From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6?A description of the major types of downhill movements of soil or snow. Organized into six short chapters, the book begins with an introduction to the categories of mass wasting. The remainder concentrates specifically on landslides, slumps, creep, and avalanches, the factors that influence them, and preventive measures that scientists can take to predict the downhill movement of soil and prevent disasters. Clear, full-color photographs illustrate the text effectively. With the help of the pictures, many readers will find that much of what is being discussed is familiar to them. Words that are included in the glossary are italicized in the text. This short, readable book not only provides a solid introduction to the subject, but also gives basic information that may be difficult to locate in other sources, especially for this grade level.?Michele Snyder, Chappaqua Public Library, NY
