Product Description
Do you reflect that the Ozone Hole is a grunge rock club? Or that the Food Web is an online restaurant guide? Or that the Green Revolution happened in Greenland?
Then you need The Cartoon Guide to the Environment to place you on the road to environmental literacy.
The Cartoon Guide to the Environment covers the main topics of environmental science: compound cycles, life communities, food webs, agriculture, human population growth, sources of energy and raw materials, waste disposal and recycling, cities, pollution, deforestation, ozone reduction, and global warming — and puts them in the context of ecology, with discussions of population dynamics, thermodynamics, and the behavior of complex systems.

Fantastic disappointment… particularly on Global Warming. The leader should drop the cheap quasi-scientific bubbles of the conservative anti-GW establishment and go read some real science. Less science should not “balance” excellent science merely to serve petty political correctness. I recommend to the leader attention to the frequent publications of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It has been customary by WMO and UNEP to assess scientific, technical and socio- economic information significant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.
1 star for the cartoon work.

THIS BOOK DEALS WITH FACTS, NOT FICTION. One of the people wrote in the review:” disappointed that it doesn’t deal with any issues today that are killing the planet. it should focus more on the effects of global warming, destruction of our rain forests, killing off of our animals and plants, and the new technologies we have…”
I am glad it does not deal especially with global warming. As many scientists that support it are against it. The more I read about global warming the more I judge that it is a political agenda rather than a fact. Any books stating Global warming is a fact is same as stating with a fact that we were made by God. Nobody knows where we came from. Was it evolution or was it God? Do not get me incorrect, I do judge in preserving and saving and trying not to polute and in doing our part. But no one can tell me that Global warming is a fact. Even Gore does not judge it or he would not be driving large SUVs and flying on private jet planes that polute more than any SUV will during a year. Just one flight across the country will cause as much polution as 100s of SUVs will in a year. I AM GLAD THIS BOOK GIVES FACTS NOT FICTION.

this is a excellent guide to the environment. the cartoons are very well drawn. i do have to agree with the additional writer in the fact that it doesn’t deal with any issues today that are killing the planet. it should focus more on the effects of global warming, destruction of our rain forests, killing off of our animals and plants, and the new technologies we have.
additional than that, its a excellent book.

Very soon now I will have Larry Gonick’s entire collection. While some people may look down on cartoons I find they are very useful in helping to form and cement learning. Larry has a fantastic sense of humor as well as a levelheaded understanding in how to communicate science and the social impact of its application.

I recently rented this cartoon book from the school library in hopes of learning more about ecology. The book did an brilliant job giving simple-to-know definitions, and the illustrations really boosted my comprehension. Though the book did not detail global warming and additional “huge” issues in our society, it was a fantastic teaching tool for the basics. It was a fun read, and it got me thinking about how minor changes can affect the way the world works.
