Very easy to use and very helpful. Know the event but don't know the date? Just look it up in the index arranged alphabetically by issues/problems. Doing a project for a certain time period and don't know where to look? Check out the second half of the book with an index arranged chronologically (by date, from oldest to current). I definately recommend it for all you fast fact seekers, especially those who don't have much time to spare.

Capably edited by Ronald J. Formica (Managing Editor, New England Publishing Associates), Famous First Facts About The Environment is a highly specialized and thoroughly "user friendly", 573-page reference book. Half of the volume collects nearly 4,000 facts about environmental "firsts", from activist movements and geophysics, to zoos, aquariums, and museums. The second half is an in-depth index that allows the reader to quickly and easily look up the appropriate fact for just about any environmental subject matter. An exacting and thorough gathering of fascinating environmental facts, Famous First Facts About The Environment is an essential, core reference for school and community library Environmental Studies collections.
