EYES WIDE OPEN Going Behind the Environmental Headlines

Tom Parks narrates clearly and accessibly about global climate change. Neither he nor the author talks down to young listeners in providing a broad context that explains the complicated systems of the environment and the political history of the movement to save it. While occasional recitations of website URLs interrupt the narrative, this audiobook would work well as a companion to lesson plans in the classroom. The final section on reading critically to determine the accuracy of--and the political and financial motivations behind--information found online, in books, and on television is an especially important and timely lesson for all listeners, regardless of age.
