Reviews

Grade 5–10—This book exposes readers to diametrically opposed views, guides critical thinking, and dissects arguments to assist in the formation of personal views. The articles were written by various experts and proponents and go far in showing both points of view. They touch on general issues such as the importance of protecting wildlife and the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act, and more specific issue-related articles on the world's fish population, extinction of polar bears, tiger farms, drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, loss of the world's rainforests, and the military's use of sonar. The articles are well chosen and interesting, and the color photographs, graphs, and maps add substantially to the visual appeal and content. The book concludes with facts about endangered species, organizations to contact, and an excellent further-reading section. An illuminating presentation that will improve critical-thinking skills.—Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA
