Forests

The Wonders of our World Series offers young readers a lively and visually exciting introduction to the world around us and the forces at work shaping our planet and its future. Ten books in this series offer fascinating full-color photographs of examples from around the world to help illustrate:
— the devastating impact volcanoes, extreme weather, and earthquakes can have
— why the earth’s forests and waterways are in danger of destruction– how the earth’s powerful internal forces produce rocks and minerals from the ordinary to the dazzling– how mountains, deserts, and caves are formed. The destruction of the earth’s forests is having a negative effect on the earth’s climate, its people, and wildlife. Using examples from around the world, Forests examines: — different kinds of forests in different climates- the layers of a forest– plant and animal life– people of the rainforests– preserving forests
