{"product_id":"voices-of-the-dust-bowl-voices-of-history","title":"Voices of the Dust Bowl (Voices of History)","description":"Voices from those who lived through the largest environmental catastrophe in American history.\nAccelerated Reader Program Selection\nThe 1930s Dust Bowl was the greatest ecological tragedy in the United States. Through a combination of drought and fierce winds, America’s Great Plains were left bare. In a series of sixteen narrative profiles, the author brings to life the voices of this time period. The characters who symbolize common residents of the “Great American Desert,” include a teacher protecting her class from a black roller, a nurse treating patients with dust pneumonia, and a nine-year-old girl who has never seen rain.\nDated entries appear chronologically and depict outlaw Bonnie Parker and photographer Dorthea Lange, among other figures of the era. In the back of the book, a historical note gives a thorough overview of the Dust Bowl’s national impact on population growth, healthcare, and the government. A glossary explains terms such as Hooverville and Civilian Conservation Corps. An educational resource, this illustrated history conveys the full effect of this disastrous decade.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1589809645\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1589809645.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Garland, Sherry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
