Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.: J P Tarcher, 2003. The Adventures Of A Renegade Naturalist - The warm, witty anecdotal adventures of a world-renowned scientist, spanning thirty years and dozens of countries. Most people only dream of having the life Daniel B. Botkin has led. He has studied whales and elephants, tramped over high mountain passes and through rain forests, worked with NASA, and spent substantial time walking in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, and Henry David Thoreau. In Strange Encounters, Botkin does for the natural world what Richard Feynman did for physics and Oliver Sacks for human behavior. Whether rebuilding an old mill in New Hampshire while ruminating on notions of "progress," researching the most weight-efficient high-protein food for space travel, or working in a radioactive forest on an early Cold War research project, Botkin experiences the kind of adventures that illuminate the complex and ever-changing relationship between human beings and their environment..

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Morrow/Avon, 1994. From Booklist: - Of all the moral imperatives unleashed on contemporary America, environmental consciousness and its myriad concomitant responsibilities may be the most sweeping and most urgent. Library and bookstore shelves abound with works on how to live in tune with the environment. Dadd-Redalia contributes a handy how-to on making everyday consumer decisions in an environmentally responsible way. The book's scope is comprehensive, and its format encourages its use as a reference as well as a primer on environmentally friendly lifestyle choices. Emphasis throughout is on sustainability--the idea of making choices that are not only environmentally benign but repeatable, choices as good for the planet as for the needs of its inhabitants.

Toronto, ON, Canada: HarperCollins Canada, Limited, 1991. Reviewer: Jonathan D - Marjorie's book is your own personal environmental bible. It outlines the small things we can do in our daily lives, that reduce our impact on the planet. Little things with huge benefits, taking little or no time at all. Generally, people refuse to change old habits. It's the two minutes it takes to change one's mindset, rather than the miniscule amount of time it takes to carry out tasks that will ensure the safety of our planet for future generations to come. Most of all, Marjorie's suggestions are not only an environmental necessity, but in most cases are financial savers for all involved.. ISBN: 0061040215. Spine lines/ X-lib /tight Clean Pgs.
