Natural Resources is an eye-opening new set that focuses on the diverse natural wealth Earth has given us and the relationship between the environment and society.

Although animals have evolved over geologic time to Earth’s constantly changing environments, and although the extinctions of certain species are normal, in no other time in the planet’s history has the extinction rate climbed as high as it is today. Causes of this unprecedented extinction rate include destruction of wildlife habitat, pollution, overfishing, and poaching.

The focus of this informative book is on Earth energy resources, such as renewable power from water, ocean energy, solar energy, wind energy, and biofuels, as well as non-renewable sources.

 Lands addresses the important resource issues that we face today with the landscape, as well as how to provide responsible stewardship of the land for future generations to enjoy.
