Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Several environmental dictionaries have been published in recent years, some with a particular emphasis such as engineering, technology, or law. This one is intended to satisfy the needs of a wide range of users, including nonspecialists. However, a basic knowledge of biology, geology, and chemistry is needed for readers to get the most out of this dictionary. Over 8000 entries dealing with the environmental sciences and ecology are included, with definitions that are for the most part clear and concise. There are some entries for environmental laws and organizations but none for individuals, and the numerous See references are helpful. Only a few illustrations are provided. Appropriately, this book has been printed on acid-free recycled paper. For public, academic, and high school libraries.-- William H. Wiese, Iowa State Univ. Lib., Ames
Booknews
For professionals, students, researchers, and the environmentally committed and/or curious at any level of sophistication, this dictionary presents concise and accessible explanations of some 8,000 terms and concepts used in the study of ecology and environmental science. It also defines policies and laws as well as environmental organizations, and includes such diverse entries as the International Monetary Fund, judicial review, urbanization, migration rate, and holoparasite. Includes some 100 drawings, charts, and diagrams. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
