Review "This attractive offering considers climate change through scientific, political, and personal responsibility lenses. . . . fresh and up-to-date, creating a vibe of immediacy and emphasizing the need for action."—Booklist Review Quote "This title explores climate change in an accessible yet slightly academic way and will help students understand the causes and consequences of this issue. McPherson does a fantastic job of breaking down the science behind global warming and climate change. She uses examples that spotlight real people in different parts of the world. The language can be challenging but is not overwhelming or inaccessible. McPherson connects climate change to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which many schools are currently exploring. This aspect of the work could allow educators to use the book for more than one class. The reading level and subject are perfect for middle school students. The text could be used as a reference source or it could be read cover-to-cover without feeling tedious. VERDICT A great addition to middle school libraries, particularly in schools that are incorporating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in their curriculums."--School Library Journal Feature Goes beyond carbon emissions to investigate climate "tipping points" that contribute to global warming Action items help teens lessen their carbon footprint Discusses late-breaking developments in the fight against climate change, including government policy changes and scientific advances Details ISBN1541579178 Author Stephanie Sammartino McPherson Short Title Hothouse Earth Pages 136 Audience Age 11-18 Language English ISBN-10 1541579178 ISBN-13 9781541579170 Year 2021 Format Hardcover Country of Publication United States Illustrations Glossary; Bibliography; Index; Graphs; Charts; Illustrations, color Publication Date 2021-03-02 AU Release Date 2021-03-02 NZ Release Date 2021-03-02 US Release Date 2021-03-02 UK Release Date 2021-03-02 Subtitle The Climate Crisis and the Importance of Carbon Neutrality DEWEY 363.73874 Audience Teenage / Young adult Alternative 9781728401577 Publisher Lerner Publishing Group Imprint Lerner Publishing Group Place of Publication Minneapolis We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
