Eyes Wide Open: Going Behind the Environmental Headlines by Paul Fleischman

5.0

Possibly(I think, definitely) the best book I've read this year. This is a terrific overview of current environmental issues, in easy and interesting language. The presentation is not overwhelming, with just enough design space around the text. Captions and bullet points in the margin offer online and text connections to great resources and I spent my whole day moving back and forth between the book and various videos and websites.
The focus of the book is to be a conscious and wary consumer of information. Fleischman would make a great librarian!
I can't rave enough.
