From Booklist

Gr. 5-8. This slender book from the Exploring Science series looks at erosion. Although about half the page space is devoted to color illustrations, the book's small type, clean design, and relatively high reading level indicate its accessibility to older students. Strong readers in elementary school may also find it useful. With a straightforward approach, the text offers information about erosion by water, wind, and glacier and discusses the pros and cons of attempting to control erosion. Lengthy sidebars introduce topics such as erosion on Mars and global warming on Earth. A few maps and many clear, color photos illustrate the book, which concludes with a glossary, miscellaneous facts, recommended books and Web sites, and pointers to the publisher's FactHound Web site.
