Description: "World Resources presents information in a very balanced manner. Each section is well cited, providing follow-up reading for those wishing to pursue specific issues. Terms such as biodiversity and greenhouse warming are well defined, making the reports easily understandable by non-specialists.The various authors try to address issues from multiple angles, acknowledging economic motivations for land use while dispassionately calling attention to the plight f illiterate people, animals, and plants unable to speak in their own defense in the global politico-economical arena. The overallquality of the report is very high. World Resources is a highly informative publication that very ably reaches its goal of unbiased presentation of data for those wrestling with meeting the needs of the world's populations while also trying to protect the natural environment--the foundation forhealthy life in all its manifestations."--Betty J.
