Environmental Science Book a Good Buy for
All. The author explains environmental science with almost complete objectivity, instead
of the left-leaning, ax-grinding approach seen in so many books supported by environmental advocacy
groups. She brings together the basic disciplines of biology, geology, chemistry, and physics
to bear on the interdisciplinary fields of hydrology, climatology, oceanography, meteorology,
and soil science.
A
Moment on the Earth : The Coming Age of Environmental Optimism by Gregg
Easterbrook. A Newsweek reporter discusses with unabashed optimism virtually
every environmental issue, from water pollution to the World Bank. His contention
is that technology, or nature itself given sufficient time, will negate any
environmental calamity--only extinctions are irreversible, and they are part
of nature's design.

The False Prophets of Ecological Apocalypse by Ronald Bailey. This
book is overflowing with heavily footnoted evidence that we are being
bamboozled by a few groups of zealots out to change the political landscape,
even if it means fudging the truth a little here or there. The text is
sometimes hard to follow, but only because he throws so many facts at the
unsupported arguments of scientists and pseudo-scientists, and especially
at scientists operating outside their fields. Butterfly scientist Paul Ehrlich
and his wife show up several times, first bemoaning the man-made return of the
ice age, then warning us about global warming with equal gravity. Bailey not
only shows the illegitimacy of the science used by these apocalyptics, but he
exposes their motives as well. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone
wishing to ask, "Are you sure? How do we know? Are there no other alternatives?"
when confronted with the bewildering plethora of supposedly man-made disasters.
