Many titles provide tips on how to live in an environmentally responsible way. This book goes a step further, providing important ancillary information on the history and possible future of the green movement and a well-written chapter on the politics of environmental legislation. Additionally, tips for green living are offered, including sections on sustainable eating, building and construction, and personal transportation. The author writes from an environmentalist prospective but backs up most of her assertions with solidly referenced scientific evidence. The book is well organized and accessible, with an appropriate amount of background. Frequent references to the United Nations and the European Union, in addition to biographies of international environmentalists, provide a global perspective. Overall, this is an excellent primer for the green movement.-Lindsay Cesari, Baldwinsville School District, NY
