"Follow along with Sophia as she learns about pollution using the Next Generation Science Standards."--Provided by publisher.

Explains in simple terms the science behind wind and includes the Beaufort Scale.

Provides instructions for science experiments that explore air and water.

Includes text and activities that explore air and what it does, with quotes from the Bible that encourage the reader to think about the wonders of the natural world.

In vivid, gonzo prose blending first-person reportage with exhaustive research and a sense of karma, Kelly and Jacobs describe China?s ancient love affair with coal, Bill Clinton?s blunders cutting free-trade deals enabling the U.S. to "export" manufacturing emissions to Asia in a shift that pilloried the West's middle class, Communist Party manipulation of eco-statistics, the horror of cancer villages, the deception of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and spellbinding peasant revolts against cancer-spreading plants involving thousands in mostly-censored mel?es. Ending with China?s monumental coal-bases decried by climatologists as a global warming dagger, The People's Republic of Chemicals names names and emphasizes humanity over bloodless statistics in a classic sure to ruffle feathers as an indictment of money as the real green that not even Al Gore can deny.

A scientific, historical, environmental, and cultural portrait of air, which discusses such topics as air's origins, the biology of human breathing, pollution, poison gas, and the religious significance of breath.

Uses text and experiments to provide information about the air around us and about pollution and other problems related to our atmosphere.
