Scribner, 1997 Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.00. 302 pages. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis A modern-day David and Goliath tale, The Riverkeepers is an impassioned firsthand account by two advocates who have taken on powerful corporate and government polluters to win back the Hudson River. John Cronin and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., tell us how we too can fight for our fundamental right to enjoy our invaluable natural resources. Revealing shocking stories of commonplace environmental crime — from drinking water tainted with hospital waste to fish populations contaminated by freely dumped PCBs — Cronin and Kennedy describe their dramatic confrontations with more than ninety environmental lawbreakers. The Riverkeepers is a timely call to action that will resonate across America as the backlash spearheaded by congressional leaders and their major corporate allies threatens to reverse the hard-won victories in environmental law and policy..

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Annotation Examines the serious problem of water pollution in both fresh and salt water bodies throughout the world and describes what is being done about it. Industrial and farming wastes have choked rivers, lakes and wetlands with chemicals dangerous to human, animal, and plant life. Sewage and oil spills have stained coastal waters, making them unfit for swimming and fishing for long periods. Rapidly growing populations, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, have caused the fresh water supply there to dwindle to the point that it promises to disappear within the next few years. In this book, Dolan examines the serious problem of water pollution in both fresh and salt-water bodies throughout the world and describes what is being done about it. His last chapter, "Can You Be of Help?" suggests ways for young people to become involved. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

7) The Big Book for Our Planet
Durell, Ann; George, Jean Craighead; Paterson, Katherine (editors)

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Dutton Childrens Books, 1993 Near-new condition. Dustcover has 1 tiny, closed tear - Book is in Fine Condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Stated First Edition - Beautifully illustrated. Tight spine - Bright pages. 136 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Annotation Nearly thirty stories, poems, and non-fiction pieces by such notable authors as Natalie Babbitt, Marilyn Sachs, and Jane Yolen illustrated by the likes of Steven Kellogg and Susan Jeffers, demonstrate some of the environmental problems now plaguing our planet, e.g. overpopulation, tampering with nature, litter, pollution, and waste disposal. From the Publisher In an all-star salute to the Earth, Lois Lowry, Paul O. Zelinsky, and other distinguished and celebrated children's book authors share their insights about nature. A portion of the proceeds will benefit environmental organizations. From The Critics Publishers Weekly Proceeds from the sale of this delightfully variegated volume will benefit six environmental groups, and any child or adult who browses through these pages will also profit--from the many eloquent, trenchant statements issued through words, art or an inspired blending of the two. An introduction by the editors stresses ``that what the Earth needs is more clean water, fresh air, trees, bats, whales, and mushrooms--and less garbage, traffic, and pollution.'' This point is made a number of times with a varying degree of clarity and effectiveness, from Tana Hoban's brief, forthright plea to ``take time to care,'' illustrated with six simple nature photos; to H. M. Hoover's rather obscure fable about an ancient, giant mushroom over which a mall is built. Natalie Babbitt, Marilyn Sachs and William Sleator are among those who deliver their messages with generous doses of wry humor; Anne Rockwell, Jane Yolen and Tomie dePaola present poems; and Milton Meltzer, Seymour Simon and Laurence Pringle offer concise pieces on, respectively, the accomplishments of Frederick Law Olmsted, wetlands, and bats. As diverse as these contributions is the artwork by an equally prominent group of illustrators, among them Barbara Cooney, Leo and Diane Dillon, Diane Goode, Steven Kellogg, Jerry Pinkney and Paul O. Zelinsky. The assembled talent proves equal to its mission. All ages. (Oct.) School Library Journal Gr 2-5-A collection of new poems, stories, and artwork on the theme of environmental protection, contributed by over 40 well-known authors and illustrators. Unlike many books of this ilk, the reading level is fairly even from piece to piece, and text and pictures are nicely interdependent-particularly Natalie Babbitt's ``The Last Days of the Giddywit,'' with Steven Kellogg's ironic portraits of the slovenly prehistoric tribe; Ruth Heller's dazzling selection on jellyfish; and the Dillons' haunting melange of images accompanying Joanne Ryder's poem about deer. Art and photographs are reproduced in sharp, vibrant colors. Selections vary in length from 1 to 10 pages, and nonfiction mingles naturally with the stories and poetry. Laurence Pringle adds an essay on bats, Seymour Simon on wetlands, and Milton Meltzer on Frederick Law Olmstead and New York City's Central Park. Consistently lively and readable, this collection delivers its message in imaginative, and therefore effective, ways. Readers who dip or dive into it will emerge with a feeling for both the strength and the fragility of nature, as well as an enhanced awareness of their responsibilities to this planet.-John Peters, New York Public Library BookList More than 40 notable authors and illustrators have created stories, poems, essays, pictures, and photographs especially for this anthology, which celebrates living harmoniously with the earth. Selections range from the humorous (Natalie Babbitt and Steven Kellogg's "Last Days of the Giddywit," in which some untidy cavemen learn to bury their trash) and the whimsical (Marilyn Sachs and Tracey Campbell Pearson's "Little Whale and Jonah," a variation of the biblical story) to the serious (John Bierhorst and Wendy Watson's Native American legend, "Why There Is Death"). Most pieces are representative of each contributor's best-known genre; for example, an eerie science-fiction offering from H. M. Hoover; a historical essay on public parks by Milton Meltzer; several limericks by X. J. Kennedy; and nonfiction articles on the wetlands by Seymour Simon and on bats by Laurence Pringle. Printed on recycled paper with proceeds to be split by several environmental organizations, this inviting collection will be popular with browsers and useful for those planning Earth Day programs..

Linden, Eugene

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Plume, 2002 Very-good+, clean copy. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. Covers are clean (NO tears). NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - 302 pages. For more than half a century, our planet has enjoyed a prolonged period of privilege and stability. Recent decades have seen some of the most extraordinary prosperity in all of human history, and we have come to view this as the norm. But what if instability returned? And what can we do to prevent that from happening? In The Future in Plain Sight, author Eugene Linden lays out the nine factors that are symptomatic of instability in today's world. They include overpopulation, the widening gap between rich and poor, the resurgence of infectious disease, and the effects of a changing global climate. Linden explores these and other destabilizing forces and tells us what we can do to plan and prepare for life in an unsettled and unsettling universe. From crises in the world's financial markets to the breakdown of natural systems that support human life, The Future in Plain Sight is a powerful look at what lies in store for us in the coming decades. Author Biography: Eugene Linden is an award-winning journalist, social commentator, and author whose work has appeared in Time magazine, National Geographic, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, among others. He serves as a consultant for the United Nations Development Program and is a former consultant to the State Department on environmental issues. He is the author of The Parrot's Lament. .

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 322 pages. Synopsis Each year, thousands of tourists visit Mount Mitchell, the most prominent feature of North Carolina's Black Mountain range and the highest peak in the eastern United States. Environmental historian Timothy Silver explores the long and complicated history of this intriguing landscape, drawing on both the historical record and his experience in the Black Mountains as a backpacker and fly fisherman. He chronicles the geological and environmental forces that created the mountains, then traces their history of environmental change and human intervention from the days of Indian-European contact to today. Among the many tales Silver recounts is that of Elisha Mitchell, the renowned geologist and University of North Carolina professor for whom Mount Mitchell is named, who fell to his death there in 1857. But nature's stories--of forest fires, chestnut blight, competition among plants and animals, insect invasions, and, most recently, airborne toxins and acid rain--are also part of Silver's narrative, making it the first history of the Appalachians in which the natural world gets equal time with human history. It is only by understanding the dynamic between these two forces, Silver says, that we can begin to protect the Black Mountains for future generations. . Trade Paperback.

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Scientific American , 1992 A photo of this book is available. Very-good+, clean condition. Green boards with silver lettering (clean - shows light wear). NO remainder marks or clippings. Very-nicely illustrated throughout. 242 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Previous owner's embossed name stamp in book front on blank page (Jon Nathan Young). Synopsis: The tropical rain forest is the most exuberant manifestation of nature's diversity, and the abundance of life it nurtures has captured the fascination of scientists since the time of Darwin. A single tree in the rain forest may support as many as 150 species of beetle alone, and 300 different kinds of trees may inhabit a single hectare. That same hectare may be home to over 41,000 different species of insects. Why are there so many species? Why do tropical forests in particular contain so many species of trees--or for that matter, of birds, reptiles, or almost anything else? What can we learn by studying this remarkable diversity and what can be done to preserve it? In this sumptuously illustrated volume, veteran scientist and teacher John Terborgh shows how scientists approach these critical questions. At the heart of the study of biodiversity is the investigation of the ecological processes that accommodate diversity and the evolutionary processes that generate it. Separate in principle, these two sets of factors are intricately interwoven, and it is this complex interrelationship that Diversity and the Tropical Rain Forest seeks to unravel. The book begins with an overview of the results of evolution as expressed in large-scale phenomena--the patterning of tropical vegetation on climatic gradients, the adaptation of plants to a wide range of soil conditions, and the contrasting degrees of diversity found in temperate versus tropical forests. The ensuing chapters on ecology examine the rain forest on a smaller scale, presenting the most recent theories of how the dynamic relationships between plants and animals, under the influence of the tropical climate, have maintained such a profusion of forms of life. The focus then returns to evolution, as Terborgh examines the mechanisms that generate diversity, the checks and balances that govern the extinction of species, and the similar evolutionary adaptations of organisms living continents apart. In concluding, Dr Booknews: A colorfully illustrated Scientific American Library book for the general reader. Documents the effusive number of both plant and animal species in the tropical rain forest, and explores the interwoven ecological and evolutionary processes behind the diversity.. Hard Cover.

Since the early 1980s, he has dedicated himself to serving humanity and the environment. Now, Weaver shares the story of his life -- his childhood and military years, his career as an entertainer (which includes a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood), and his more recent success as a spokesperson and role model for social and environmental concerns. His ultimate goal: to remind us that only through collective spiritual growth and understanding the interrelationship of all living systems, will humanity consciously step forward to preserve our world for future generations. .
