pickHistorical depiction of the political and environmental history of about the mid-1980s to present. This is the first nonfiction I‘ve read by Rich, although in the middle of his second (Second Nature). I was aware of much of this history, but really got into this. His writing reminds me of the populist style of Rachel Carson, and I feel he could bring some of these important issues more mainstream at a time when our world desperately needs to care.

I could see this book used in a later elementary classroom where the book is read as a read aloud and then students choose a topic from the book that they want to complete a project and presentation on. That way, it is a topic they are interested in and also they can share their research with their peers.
pickNonfiction- “The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming“ is a kid-friendly book that explains the issue of climate change in a clear and engaging way. It explores the causes, consequences, and solutions to global warming, using humor, illustrations, and real-world examples that relate to children's lives.
The book accurately highlights the impact of human activities on the environment, such as the burning of fossil fuels in a kid friendly way

bailedI've been reading this book for almost a month and I'm barely 100 pages in, and as my mind kept wandering while I read I realized I'd rather read something else. So much as I hate to DNF a book, I've moved on.
