Protecting Earth's Air Quality
Every living thing on our planet needs air to survive. Most of the time, we hardly even think about Earth’s air. But did you know that many of the things we use every day—from cars to electricity—hurt the quality of our air? The pollution in the air can make people, plants, and animals sick. We must join together in the quest to improve Earth’s air quality. With engaging text and eye-catching images—plus a special Going Green section—this book tells you all about Earth’s air and what you can do to protect it.
Protecting Earth's Land
Nearly all living things depend on Earth’s land and its resources to survive. But did you know that people do many things that hurt the land? The damage sometimes destroys forests, which are home to diverse ecosystems and are important in producing oxygen and water. And in many parts of the world, damaged land produces less food, less wood, and less of many things that people need. We must join together in the quest to find better ways to use and take care of Earth’s land. With engaging text and eye-catching images—plus a special Going Green section—this book tells you all about Earth’s land and what you can do to protect it.
What the River Reveals
"What the River Reveals" tells the story of how we've changed our Pacific Northwest rivers and what we've lost, and also the story of how we can help them heal, plus what we might gain from it. Science writer Valerie Rapp explains how nature's strategies for surviving floods and forest fires may hold the answers about how we can work with the natural strengths of our ecosystems to restore them. This book shows us the exciting possibilities for renewal of watersheds and human communities.
Life in a River

Elk, Deer, and Cattle
In the 1970s and 1980s, wildlife managers, hunters, and forest managers had intense debates about how elk, mule deer, and cattle should be managed on public lands. In response, the Starkey Project was started in the Blue Mountains of NE Oregon. Starkey is a controlled, landscape-scale study at the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range. Four major themes were identified for the Project¿s first decade of research: Roads and traffic; Timber production and thermal cover; Competition with cattle; and Breeding efficiency of male elk. This report describes the Starkey Project¿s first decade (1989-99) which have given managers defensible options for managing roads, timber prod., and range allotments in relation to elk, deer, and cattle.
