The message of Erosion is to teach students about erosion and its effect on land forms. I thought the book was a decent book to read. It provides information on many different subjects related to erosion including the types of erosion, the effects of erosion, and the negative consequences associated with erosion. However, the book is not very engaging. The author provides a plethora of information, but it is presented in the form of large paragraphs that fill up multiple pages. In addition to the bulk of the main text being presented in large paragraphs, the extra textual information is also presented in paragraph form. An example being the fast facts which are presented below the main text on select pages. these sections which are filled with interesting facts are presented as 3-4 sentence paragraphs. Even if the reader is interested in the facts the reader is locked out because of the density of the text provided by each fast fact paragraph. The book does have a few benefits like its use of images to represent the text. The book provides photographs instead of illustration to show the reader real life examples of erosion. one photo in particular does a good job at showing the dangers of beach erosion by displaying a house by the beach on stilts being battered by waves with the hope that the stilts will save home from being washed away. Overall the book is okay and provides descent information, but its presentation is rather boring. ( )
