The author's credibility and background.
Do you think the author had the authority or experience to speak about this issue? What are the author's credentials? What might bias the author's argument?
Alanna Mitchell is an award winning journalist and author from Canada. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) and the Reuters Foundation named Mitchell the best environmental journalist in the world in 2000 after an international competition. With that being said I do believe that she has the authority to write a book about the environment and its issues. She also has another book called Sea Sick which explains how the ocean is going through chemical changes at the hand of man and why that matters.
Mitchell has a degree in Latin literature and English literature from Trinity College at the University of Toronto. She also has a bachelor of applied arts in journalism from Ryerson University in Toronto.
