Earth Watch

What is going to happen to planet Earth? This challenging new series draws attention to the most pressing environmental concerns – and suggests positive ways to prevent further damage.Earth Watch explains the issues – from the perils of pollution and global warming to ozone depletion and habitat destruction – and then suggests ways to help. Hands-on experiments show readers how to explore the science behind the facts, while action globes suggest ways to make a difference on a daily basis. To highlight what is already being done, eyewitness reports from professionals – including a glaciologist in Antarctica and a garbologist in New York – describe how their work is improving the management of the planet.
