Non-fiction book review - Upstream, Downstream

 

Upstream, Downstream by Rowena Rae

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you want to understand the basics of a complex idea read a book intended for children. Explanatory texts written for adults tend to be overly technical and rely on a lot of jargon. A book for kids will explain the idea in the simplest way possible with a number of clear examples. I can't say as I've ever really thought about watersheds, even when I was studying the water cycle. This book will solidly support those lessons we get in school and tie into our understanding of ecology as well.
