this Potpourri Or Hodgepodge Of Information About Many Aspects Of Environmentalism, From The I Want To Be... Series, Is Fine For Browsing By Younger Students, But Less Useful For Those Seeking Specific Information Because It Lacks A Table Of Contents And Index. Types Of Environmentalists And Their Work Are Introduced Briefly. The Two-page Spreads Include Information About Recycling, Environmental Education Programs, High-tech Research Projects, El Niño, Endangered Species, And Efforts To Preserve Or Improve The Environment, Along With What The Reader Can Do To Help. There Is An Environmental Vocabulary, A Brief History Of Environmentalism, And Examples Of Famous Environmentalists. The Upbeat Message Is Supported By The Many Very Clearly Printed Color Photographs, Often Six Or More Per Double Page. Considerable Information Is Provided In Them, Along With Busy, Happy Youngsters. 2000, Maze Productions Inc./harcourt Inc., Ages 8 To 14, $18.00 And $9.00. Reviewer: Ken Marantz And Sylvia Marantz
