Review
Here is everything you ever wanted to know about the environment but weren't sure where to find it. With a local, national and global focus, this almanac reports the real, up-to-date standings and statistics on the environmental status of our world. This compilation of facts and solutions by the World Resources Institute addresses a pressing question of our time: "How can societies meet human needs and nurture economic growth without destroying the natural resources and environmental integrity that make prosperity possible?". The Information Please Environmental Almanac offers a myriad of resources and information to help protect our resources: toxics in the home; world population; dying oceans; online resources; green U.S. metro areas; biodiversity; alternative agriculture; and facts on over 160 countries. Ask for the latest edition. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by SH
