Booklist - 04/01/2022 The A World in Danger series (4 titles) examines changes to the world’s climate as a result of global warming, and this entry looks at the increase in severe winds. Illustrations (stock photos and diagrams) occupy the majority of each page, and a few sentences provide basic information on the difference between weather and climate, how wind forms, why warmer temperatures lead to windier conditions, and different kinds of windstorms (hurricanes, dust storms, tornadoes). Colorful fact bubbles frequently appear, and large colorful headings divide the book’s content and contribute interesting trivia to the main text. The last few sections of the book are more human-oriented, as they discuss how communities have been damaged by windstorms and how we can help slow global warming. A simple introduction to a complex topic. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
