From Library Journal
Chock full of environmental data from regional visibility ranges to degrees of light pollution in the Southwest, this title makes fascinating browsing and infers a compelling case for ecological action. Brief historical and political overviews of the environmental movement are followed by the book's core: vivid maps, charts, and graphs with accompanying text detailing the physical and political factors that contribute to the country's environmental issues. Unusual in a reference book, the authors voice concern about ecologically adverse government policies and administrations. Some of the information, compiled from a wide variety of sources, is dated, but this generally does not detract from a book that presents a provocative picture of our environmental condition. A worthwhile acquisition for public, school, and academic libraries.
