Lorey, David E., ed. Global Environmental Challenges of the Twenty-First Century: Resources, Consumption, and Sustainable Solutions. Wilmington: Scholarly Resources, 2003. The most serious environmental problems of the twenty-first century have the potential to alter the course of life on this planet. Global Environmental Challenges provides important information and gives us hope for the environment. This book collects some of the best essays and articles on environmental matters by Paul Ehrlich, Robert Boyle, and Jared Diamond, among others. Five major sections investigate the interaction of population growth, consumption, and environment; the emerging crisis in freshwater around the globe; global climate and atmosphere (including global warming); biodiversity loss; and the concept of sustainable development. The final section reveals how we can take action. (Text adapted from Rowman and Littlefield website.)
