The ABC-Clio Companion to the Environmental Movement (Clio Companions) [Hardcover]

Mark Grossman (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Part history, part encyclopedia, this is an excellent volume for the nonspecialist, with brief entries appropriate for school and public libraries. It spans American environmental awareness from early naturalists such as Audubon up through current legislation, and follows the format of previous titles in the ABC-CLIO series "Companions to Key Issues in American History and Life." While Gale's Environmental Encyclopedia (LJ 6/1/94) is vast in scope, this volume is more digestible, with quotations, chronology, bibliography, and index. Many of the entries are biographies, covering everyone from Smoky Bear to Bruce Babbit. Concise definitions are given for terms such as "acid rain," "biodiversity," and "endangered species." The level is just right for elementary and high schools and for public libraries that did not buy the work by Gale.?Laura Lipton, Miller Horticulture Lib., Seattle

I needed some information on one of the Secretaries of the Interior, and this book not only had an in-depth study of the man, but a bibliography to consult! What a great resource! James Francis Church Bayside, New York 17 February 1997
