Library Journal (12/15/2008)
This collection of questions and answers centering on environmental issues is just what the subtitle indicates: a simple, straightforward series of answers to common questions posed by readers to "E/The Environmental Magazine"'s (www.emagazine.com) nationally syndicated Q&A column "EarthTalk." Broken down into ten palatable chapters on topics ranging from organic veggies to organic undies, global warming, and transportation, this handy paperback covers a wide range of environmental topics. Specific questions ("toothpastes without artificial sweeteners?") are answered with names of sources, whereas more obscure questions like "Is the world running out of oil?" are answered with facts and statistics without any sense of hysteria or pandering. The "E" editors' answers are succinct, informational, and followed by contact information specific to each topic. This contact informationnames, phone numbers, and web addresses of important resourcesis a wonderful resource, which may be difficult to navigate without an alphabetized list. The book's index was unseen by this reviewer, and may remedy this issue. Recommended for public libraries.Jaime Hammond, Naugatuck Valley Community Coll.
