COPY ISBN
Drawing from the Berkshire Encyclopedia of Sustainability (Vol. 4 was reviewed in LJ 8/12), these concentrated excerpts from that larger reference provide welcome glimpses of the expansive world of sustainability studies. Ecosystem Services outlines the many benefits people obtain from nature and the policies and initiatives used or needed to manage these resources. Energy Industries puts renewable energy in relief, focusing on mining, nuclear power, and conservation incentives. Both guides convey their narrative via essay chapters and include further reading lists and limited but effective black-and-white illustrations.
VERDICT Accessible, quick-shot primers on key sustainability subjects.
