This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

Description

Much of what has been written about pollution and global warming is not
only difficult to understand, but misleading as well. In this book, the
author presents the issues, gives the science behind the happenings,
focuses on individuals who have had an impact on our world, offers ways the
reader can take action, and includes many fun and informative experiments
and things to make. From replacing incandescent light bulbs with
fluorescent ones to making a compost pile and recycling cans, bottles, and
plastics this is a book young readers will enjoy for its hands-on fun and
straight talk that presents possibilities.
