Jugendliche erforschen die Geschichte extremer Wetterereignisse, die sich heute auf die Welt auswirken, um zu verstehen, wie unser sich änderndes Klima größere, zerstörerischere Stürme verursacht, welche kostspieligen Auswirkungen diese Superstürme haben und wie sie nach einer Naturkatastrophe sicher bleiben können.
Teil der Odysseys in Recent Events -Reihe
This informative series provides essential research material on global events from recent decades. Each topic is placed in historical context; for example, the author asks readers to consider Martin Luther’s theses as “going viral” while discussing social media, and gives background material about refugee crises and destructive storms while explaining those subjects. The text is information-heavy, but surrounded by plenty of white space, full-page photos, and sidebars, all of which help to break up the text. The accompanying photos are expertly chosen to grab readers’ attention and bring moments in history to life. The books include a glossary, bibliography, and index. VERDICT This is excellent research material for current events.
