Ecological Disasters - Children's Literature
The “Science of Catastrophe” series uses science to explain what happened in different disasters and excels in being accurate and readable. The series also has artistic illustrations and detailed diagrams of the science involved. The books are current and the price is affordable. In the ecological book, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill is explained when a 122 meter long semi-submersible rig became engulfed in methane and exploded. That left an oil-gushing well head that was not able to be capped.
