Five Books on the Environment
Recommended by Joyce Lannert
- The Riverkeepers. Two Hudson River activists, John Cronin
and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., fight to reclaim our environment as a
basic human right.
- The Sustainable Planet: Solutions for the 21st Century. Edited by Juliet Schor and Betsy Taylor. Sixteen remarkable visions for ways of living that are sustainable and deeply satisfying.
- The Complete Idiot's Guide to Global Warming. By Michael Tennesen. A comprehensive guide separating fact from fiction about global warming - how it affects ecological, sociological and economic environments worldwide.
- Our Stolen Future. By Theo Colborn et al. With more than 75,000 chemicals currently in use and 20 new chemicals added to the market each week, the authors make excellent points about the toll these largely untested chemicals have on our health.
- Bush versus the Environment. Robert Devine shows how the White House is quietly undermining the entire system of environmental safeguards that has developed over the past 30 years.
