Describes the environmental threats to the ocean from overfishing, dredging, waste, sewage, oil pollution, hazardous chemicals, and industrial pollution
Jeff and his best friend Keith are ice-fishing in the middle of Big Lake. It's been hours without a bite, but they're still having a blast - until the storm of the decade closes in. Soon, the entire landscape is buried in three feet of snow and the snowfalls shows no signs of stopping. With their heaters low on power, Jeff and Keith are forced to make their way home through the whipping wind, low visibility, and the ominous crackling of ice beneath their feet.
The Survival series presents a new and dynamic approach to Natural History. It looks at wildlife under threat because of our failure to protect the environment. Each book examines the difficulties of preserving wildlife in a world facing increasing pressures of population growth and the need to produce more food and use more resources. The books also look at the solutions which could protect many of the species on our planet and save some of them from extinction.
Andy and her twin brother Tony are four-wheeling in the woods near their family cabin when they notice the sky has turned a sickly shade of green. Moments later, the sky erupts into a raucous thunderstorm and they're forced to take cover beneath an abandoned Ranger tower. When the sky grows eerily calm, they quickly get back on their four-wheelers and race home--only to find a massive funnel cloud blocking their way. The twins dodge falling trees and debris in search of shelter only to become faced with an even bigger dilemma: is it safer to keep moving, or hunker down beneath less than ideal cover?
