I find the concept of this book really interesting and definitely something that should be discussed in the classroom at some point. It is also a topic that would need to have really solid information and science behind it, just because of all of the social drama surrounding global warming. This book looks like it would be able to provide that.

That being said, I can't help but want a little more information, if I were to either recommend the book or use it. I mean, the age range of 5th-12th grade is huge and considering the subject matter and the length of the book it makes me wonder if it would be useable for a 5th grader. Is it just big print or are there pictures and diagrams that help take up that space? And if it is 5th grade accessible, does it still have the complexity to be useful in highschool? I'd love to see a little more information about the structure of the book's interior.
