With the current cultural push to embrace green living, Enslow has put out a series titled Green Issues in Focus, which considers conserving and protecting water, green energy, solving the air pollution problem, food issues, and endangered animals. Each book contains a basic look at both sides of the issue and then presents a final chapter, What You Can Do. Unloved and Endangered Animals discusses coral reefs, bees, bats, frogs, turtles, wolves, and sharks. Unfortunately, the final chapter gives little practical information and just mentions that awareness and education is key. Food for a Greener Planet is a good introduction to the concepts regarding farming and food and how it affects our health, our planet, and even world hunger. There is some basic discussion about genetic modification of food, factory farming, and cloning. The final chapter on being truly green provides more helpful information than the closing chapter in endangered animals.
