The resulting work could be useful either in a reference collection or as a primary text for an undergraduate seminar on environmental topics.  Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and general readers.  --Choice, September 2007

This is one of a 10-volume set, all in the format described in the introductory matter: 'Each entry will include...key facts about the author; an introduction placing the piece in context; the full or excerpted document; a discussion of the significance of the document and related events; and a listing of further resources' (p. xxiii).  Overall, the selection of documents for inclusions appears thoughtful, and the analyses are cognet and well written.  Supplementary material includes a chronology, a general bibliography, and a good index.  The level of treatment makes this work most suitable for academic libraries serving undergraduate environmental studies programs, but larger public libraries should also find it useful.  It is also available as an e-book.  --ARBA, March 2007

This resource for students and researchers contains selected primary source documents that shed light on a diverse array of envirnomental issues.  In addition to bibliographical information, each entry begins with an introduction that summarizes the source's historical background and concludes with a discussion of its signifcance and list of additional resources.  Entries are arranged in rough chronological  order within each of eight thematic sections.  --Booknews.com, May 2007
