Considering the time of this book being published, many of the topics brought up are still relevant to modern times. From the coral reefs to the prairies to the glacier mountains, each article featured focuses on different areas in the United States and what environment issues they experience. The accompanying photos are enjoyable to gaze upon, especially for some unlikely candidates like fossils and fungus. This is a great book to check out if you're a nature lover.
