Kallen, Stuart A., Running Dry:
Global Water Crisis. Pgs. 64. Twenty First Century Books (Lerner
Publishing Group), 2015. $33.32. INFORMATION.
About 1 out of every 9 people in
the world doesn’t have access, to safe drinking water. Climate changes, massive
storms, and industrial and agricultural pollution are just a few of the factors
threatening the water supply and public health around the world. What is the
world doing to fix the problem? What can you do? This book addresses these
questions and more.
Although the book is heavily bias
towards environmental reasons, the author does a great job of presenting the
facts in a user-friendly fashion. The text and photos complement each other
well. The intermixed fact bubbles are fun and informative. Included are source
notes, further information links, and index for use with meeting common core
standards. Readers interested in current issues or who need to read a
non-fiction book will enjoy reading this book. MS, HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica M, Library Media Specialit, Olympus Jr. High.
