Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-A brief, unfocused book. Two-page spreads cover the history of the environmental movement, influential books and personalities, eco-issues, El Ni-o, recycling, and types of environmentalists. Although a variety of careers are mentioned, students interested in pursuing a particular job in this field or researching one for an assignment will have to look elsewhere for specific information. Readers may also be frustrated by the haphazard organization and lack of index and table of contents. The many glossy, full-color photographs are attractive and include a photo gallery of endangered species and an illustrated 10-topic vocabulary list.

From Kirkus Reviews
This glossy, colorful title in the "I Want To Be" series has visual appeal but poor organization and a fuzzy focus, which limits its usefulness. Each double-paged layout introduces a new topic with six to eight full-color photographs and a single column of text. Topics include types of environmentalists, eco-issues, waste renewal, education, High School of Environmental Studies, environmental vocabulary, history of environmentalism, famous environmentalists, and the return of the eagle. Often the photographs have little to do with the text or are marginal to the topic. For example, a typical layout called "Some Alternative Solutions" has five snapshots superimposed on a double-page photograph of a California wind farm. The text discusses ways to develop alternative forms of energy and "encourage environmentally friendly lifestyles." Photos include "a healer who treats a patient with alternative therapy using sound and massage," and "the Castle," a house built of "used tires and aluminum cans." Elsewhere, "Did You Know . . . " shows a dramatic photo of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, but the text provides odd facts such as " . . . that in Saudi Arabia there are solar-powered pay phones in the desert?" Some sections seem stuck in, a two-page piece on the effects of "El Niño" or 50 postage-stamp-sized photos of endangered species. The author concludes with places to write for more information and a list of photo credits. Pretty, but little here to warrant purchase. (Nonfiction. 9-11) -- Copyright © 2000 Kirkus Associates, LP.
