Praise for Biodiversity by Laura Perdew Booklist Top 10 Books on the Environment & Sustainability for Youth: 2020 ""Activities and accessible text bring the importance and complexity of biodiversity to upper-elementary and middle-school students."" Praise for Extinction by Laura Perdew National Science Teachers Association Recommends ""This book uses the concept of extinction to teach a little chemistry, a little climatology, paleontology, biology (biodiversity), ecology, and a lot of geology. The science information is historical and current, drawing on three-dimensional learning, incorporating science practices to determine what factors affect extinction in general and specifically. The integration of concepts help bring the science alive and relevant.""
