the parts of a river are (deltas, estuaries), how
floods occur, and how people live along rivers and
make a livelihood dependent on rivers. Rivers and
nature feature in the book as well as the most terrifying
and interesting subject of all: disasters.

Science
Projects About the Environment and Ecology
By Robert Gardner
This book presents experiments and projects suitable
for science fairs, dealing with such aspects of the
environment and ecology as the atmosphere, soil, water,
plants, animals, and climate. The experiments use simple
and inexpensive materials that are available around
the home or school. (Safety warnings appear throughout
the book when applicable to the particular experiments.)
Most experiments are great starts for science fair projects
and fill the need for more challenging experiments for
junior and senior high students.
