In Rwanda, a small but populous country in Africa, a ghastly genocide started on April 6, 1994. Although it lasted only one hundred days, almost a million people were slaughtered by its end. This illuminating resource reviews one of the most horrible genocides in history, explaining the definition of genocide itself. Readers will learn about Rwanda's history, with a focus on the events that led to those terrible days. The book is rounded out with a brief look at post-genocide Rwanda, as the country copes and the people take back their lives after such a terrible tragedy.

Much of the Earth's rainforests have been destroyed to make room for farmland. Global warming is spiraling out of control. A tipping point has been reached, and Earth's climate has been irrevocably damaged. Many life forms are threatened. Human beings are now officially an endangered species. Is this nightmare scenario our destiny? This book sorts out the facts from the overheated fiction, the actual reality from both the environmental hype and the conservative political evasions, while also suggesting ways in which we can still avert disaster or our very worst nightmare scenario.

The defining challenge of the twenty-first century for the entire world may very well be the health of our atmosphere, both the delicate balance of gases in its upper reaches and the air we breathe at ground level. Increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases appear to be resulting in rapid and possibly catastrophic global warming and climate change. Pollution at lower altitudes, which is caused by such things as car exhaust and industrial emissions, is causing the destruction of flora and fauna as well as health problems in humans. The invisible element that we draw deeply into our lungs about 17,000 times a day may be poisoning us now that we have poisoned it. The future of life on earth may be in real peril. This hard-hitting book spells out exactly the state we're in, where we're headed, and what can be done to insure that conditions do not worsen for future generations.
