| Notes: | This book tells about the river's age: young river, middle age, and old age. A young river flows very fast, and often plunges down a waterfall into middle age. It often has curving meanders, valleys, and ox-bow lakes. It enters old age peacefully and flows into the ocean. |
| Brief description: | Geography with the gritty bits left in! Does geography grind you down? Fed up with miserable maps, rotten rock piles and stultifying statistics? Wave goodbye to boring geography lessons as you venture into the surging world of 'Raging Rivers'. Scream as you peer over the edge of a roaring waterfall. Gasp at the amazing Grand Canyon - gorged out by an old river. Run for your life when you come face to face with a peckish piranha. Tremble when you go white-water rafting through hair-raising rapids. And if that's not outrageous enough for you ... join our heroic hydrologists on a turbulent river tour from ice cap to ocean, read the secret diary of a brave river explorer, and get to know your watery wildlife with our spotter's guide. It's earth-shatteringly exciting! Geography has never been so horrible! |
