For students, faculty and professionals, Beacham's Guide unravels the tangled terminology, interrelated concepts, and vast sources on the environment. The most complete work available for developing research topics and identifying appropriate resources.

It is hard to imagine tackling the vast literature that has accumulated on a subject
like the environment....[This series] contains information and bibliographical entries
grouped into the following 39 chapters, such as: U.S. Environmental Policy and Politics;
Environmental Movement; Environmental Philosophy; Ethics and Economics; Animal Rights;
Climate; Agriculture; Third World Food Supply and Agriculture; Water Supply; Food Safety;
Health and the Environment; Population; Energy; Nuclear Weapons; Transportation; Air
Pollution; Acid Rain; Water Pollution; Groundwater Pollution; Ocean Pollution; Recycling;
Solid Waste Management; Hazardous Waste Management; Radioactive Waste Disposal...and much
more.
Chapters 2-39 are all arranged in similar fashion, so I have selected only one,
Biodiversity, to describe in detail. This chapter contains seven sections: Short List of
Sources, Introductory Sources, Extinction, Climate Change, Tropical Deforestation, Coastal
and Marine, and Politics and Policy. The table of contents for the chapter contains
several "see also" entries that direct the searcher to chapters containing
related material. Each section contain bibliographical entries for books (annotated),
books (unannotated), general interest periodicals (annotated and unannotated),
environmental and professional journals (annotated and unannotated), law journals,
reports, federal government reports, conference proceedings, and bibliographies.
The five-volume series should be placed on the shelves of every library in the United
States. Nearly everyone searching for information and references on most aspects of the
environment will want to consult this useful bibliographic resource. |
