These books offer information about the title subjects from the perspective of sustainability--using resources without depleting them or damaging the environment. Successful models are cited, and sobering facts are given about the deleterious effects many industries, from tourism to oil refining, have. Frequent boxed text inserts make for a busy layout, but plenty of photos add interest. Websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Development Without Damage titles: Building Homes for Tomorrow, Food and Water, Nature for People, Oil, Plastics, and Power, Trees and Timber Products, and Mining, Minerals, and Metals.
