Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This guide annotates more than 1,000 print and electronic sources. The author, a freelance writer, is a former employee of the Environmental Protection Agency. In chapters by topic (energy, waste, water, etc.), he describes government clearinghouses, organizations, online services, directories and other reference books, and periodicals. A second part of the book lists similar sources for "green living" topics--education, grants, shopping, travel, etc. Sources listed range from the scholarly (various titles from Cambridge Scientific Abstracts) to popular books and periodicals. The readable annotations evaluate each title and place it in the context of the literature of the field. Appendixes list phone numbers for Federal Information Centers and addresses and phone numbers for database vendors and publishers included in the book. Entries are indexed by author and title and by subject.

This inexpensive guide will be a welcome addition to high-school, academic, and public library collections. Sandy Whiteley
