Table of ContentsReviewsSeries Review: Doomsday Scenarios: Separating Fact from Fiction These volumes open with realistic what-if scenarios and continue with chapters that describe real dangers and what can be done to prevent them. Cyberterrorism envisions a Hollywood-style power outage, for example, and Killer Viruses imagines a boy affected by illness, in a vignette that's reminiscent of the 1918 flu pandemic. These descriptions will draw readers in and show them that it's necessary to consider facts when confronted by such a situation, without becoming distracted by the dramatic aspects of the problem...this series has much to offer, such as an objective perspective on controversial topics like climate change. For this, and for of-the-moment topics, the series is a good choice. --School Library Journal Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
