Eyes Wide Open: Going Behind the Environmental Headlines

Gr 7 Up—This volume is a call to action that informs students about how they can evaluate environmental issues by using politics, psychology, history, and an understanding of economics and the media. Divided into six chapters, the audio follows the print version in organization and includes the final entry, "How to Weigh Information": a synopsis on how to judge media, follow the money, and check for fallacies. While the illustrations from the print book are not included, the narration does incorporate the numerous sidebars that offer additional information, definitions and facts. Science and government classes can utilize this audiobook to analyze current issues and trends in the environmental movement. Tom Parks narrates this book in a smooth, engaging style. This will work for individual listening as well as for classroom use.
