Water
Stephanie Ocko
- Reading
- Read together with a map or the book’s diagrams, pausing to trace how the examples connect climate, ecosystems and water supply.
- Themes
- Explaining water scarcity: The book connects drought examples in different places with air and ocean currents, rainfall patterns and human effects on environments. Its account presents water shortages through interacting climatic and environmental factors, rather than as a single-cause problem.
- Worth knowing
- The subject includes drought and communities facing water shortages, alongside discussion of environmental damage. These are serious real-world topics rather than a fictional peril sequence.
