Synopsis
Endangered Planet is a timely examination of the state of the earth's ecosystems. Today, humans influence every natural habitat on the planet. The consequences can be devastating—dozens of species are wiped out each year, coasts and oceans are fouled with oil spills, and grasslands and forests are destroyed to feed the appetite of modern agriculture. Endangered Planet also reveals how renewable energy, recycling, and wildlife protection will play a key role in the survival of Earth.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8 - These selections complement one another by offering two contrasting perspectives of life on Earth. Planet presents a global picture of how humanity affects the world at large whereas Life explores Earth's tiniest creatures and their impact on humankind. Children will be immediately drawn to the high-quality graphics artfully laid out on brightly colored spreads. The photographs in the first volumesuccessfully depict people, habitats, and animals around the world, raising global awareness, while the captivating scanning electron micrographs in the second book showcase the unseen creepy critters that surround us. The narratives are logically arranged into three chapters, each containing a broad overview as well as more detailed subtopics. Each level of text is complete, enabling children of different ages to access the information they seek. Although a couple of the charts in Planet are confusing at first glance, close examination of the text clarifies their meaning. Fans of the "Eyewitness Books" (DK) will feel at home with these offerings, and teachers may find that the connection and arrangement of concepts here is more conducive to learning. - Jenna Miller, Alachua County Library District, Gainesville, FL
