Review: While looking for material on the basics of our environment and for definitions of various terms and words I've seen in newspapers and magazines, I came across the ABCS of Environmental Science. It was exactly what I needed - a clear, concise and basic text for a non-science person. Mr. Katz's book explains the various aspects of our environment and the interconnectedness of it all. Each brief chapter discusses and happily (for me) summarizes the topic with a What You Should Remember section at the chapter's end. This book was interesting and informative reading with the salient points clearly emphasized. I recommend it highly for anyone wanting a thorough but clear overview of our environmental resources and what's being done with them - a very relevant subject for us all.
