This book was very disappointing. It never explained why you wouldn't want to live without extreme weather. It only explained why you wouldn't want to live without rain. Their were some pretty interesting facts though. This is one of the longer you wouldn't want to be books. It didn't talk much about natural disasters. A little bit about tornadoes. Also a little bit about how people abandoned villages during long droughts so that the water could fill their villages. I find that really cool.
Riche is grown in flooded fields called paddies. There are places that don't change much throughout the year. For example Medellin usually is more like spring year round. In the amazon it stays warm and in the artic it stays cold. People may fell better after a thunder storm du to cooling of edges at the end of a storm. Jet streams are narrow ribbons of air that blow from west to east high up in the atmosphere. There are planes that are specially equipped so it can take pictures of hurricanes from the top. People use winds for some sports like skiing sometimes they use parachutes to propel themselves.… (more)

Opinion
These book as usual interest me quite a lot.So I have a very biased opinion.In mine this book series is great for all ages.Old or young I think you will enjoy this book .Like I did reading the book.I still love fun facts.

Bacteria seems to be bad for you.Its not, it breaks down items, it fights off bad bacteria, and it works with other bacteria. Food would have the same flavor as other food if it weren't for bacteria. Earth wouldn't survive outwith bacteria because all living creatures need at least one bacteria to survive. In the human there is 10 times more bacteria than human cells. Bacteria are used to fight of certain diseases and or sicknesses. Bacteria are very important and without them we would be like Mars.
I found this book interesting. I would think more bacteria is in a bathroom than in a kitchen. I am thankful that bacteria is here or my sweet and sour duck would be, well i'm not sure,but it wouldn't taste as good. It does freak me out a little that there's more bacteria then cells in my body but then again bacteria can be good for you. I'm a little surprised that there is so much more bacteria than cells in peoples bodies though. As long as the bacteria is good than I don't care. I do dislike the fact that the kitchen has more bacteria than a bathroom it disgusts me.… (more)

This book explains shows an interesting timeline of water. The introduction explains the water cycle and the process of water. It explains the importance of water in comparison to our bodies. It also explains dirty water and the significant importance of who needs water. It also explains the uses for water, either energy used, growing crops, transporting or other matters. It also explains how water can be cleaned and the effect of cleaning infected or bacteria filled water. At last, it explains the importance of conserving and limiting water use and easy ways to preserve water.

(I gave this book three stars)This book was overall mediocre. Just as it promised, it showed water in all states, how much we have, how we clean it, how to conserve it.It explained water well but not in a interesting way. It wasn't great but it was a good choice for nonfiction. I wasn't pleased with the outcome of the book, it was kind of boring and the concept was repeated. It did say some knowledgeable facts, but it needed to engage the reader. It needed more communication with the reader to really grab the readers attention. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. : )… (more)
