Award-winning science writer Seymour Simon—”the dean of the [children’s science book] field!”—teams up with the Smithsonian Institution to demystify climate change and global warming—now in paperback! Global Warming was named to the 2010 List of Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K–12 by the NSTA (National Science Teachers’ Association).
“With his outstandingly straightforward and logical prose...Simon carefully leads novices through such tricky concepts as greenhouse gases and the differences between observable daily weather and long-term climate change. The full-page color photographs range from decorative enhancements to important comparative evidence.”—The Horn Book
 

Everyone is talking about global warming and climate change, but did you know…
-Since we’ve been keeping records, nineteen of the twenty hottest years have been since 1980.
-There is 30 percent more carbon dioxide in the air than there was 150 years ago.
-Only a three-foot rise in sea level would swamp the Gulf Coast and every East Coast city from Boston to Miami!

This new paperback from Seymour Simon, “the dean of the [children’s science book] field,” lets us know what we can do to save our Earth for ourselves and future generations, and presents the information in an easily digestable manner. It features large full-color photographs, a glossary, index, and a list of websites for additional learning resources, all approved by experts at the Smithsonian Institution.

Global Warming is available as an ebook, as are Dogs, Cats, Tropical Rainforests, Earthquakes, Our Solar System, Volcanoes, and Horses!
