Planet H2O

Six case studies show how young students and professionals are helping to solve the growing problem of global overuse and abuse of Earth`s most precious and limited resource: water. Despite being more than two-thirds covered by water, our planet has only 1% of that in the form of fresh water that is easily available for human use. Planet H2O explores both the positive and negative scientific and social implications of global water use. Its worldwide, multicultural point of view and appealingly youthful presentation, coupled with solid academic content, make it essential viewing for middle-school science and social studies classrooms.
