.Bush Versus the Environment

by: Robert S. Devine

June 08, 2004
The title says most of what you need to know. But unlike many political works, it does not simply focus on "Bush-bashing", but rather looks at the report card for the current administration (at least up to summer 2004). Mr. Devine does point out that there are some successes by Bush et. al., but brings an environmental reporter's skill in digging into the minutae of all the reports, good and bad.

And what he finds is truely terrifying if you enjoy clean air and water. Rolling back the last few decades worth of environmental protections and progress, the Bush administration seems to be more interested in the quick, short-term buck than future health of people and well being of the planet. I know that sentence, ending with "the ... Read More:

.Alien Invasion: America's Battle With Non-Native Animals and Plants

by: Robert S. Devine

1998-06
The scope of this book, for reasons of practicality, is limited to the United States but the problem is undoubtedly endemic to the entire planet. Still the coverage is sufficient to recognize the root causes and these are described. Understanding is the only hope. If humanity can not see these "canaries in a coal mine" then we will see great suffering. So far the battle of reason and understanding against the psychosis that seems to plague humanity has yet to be turned. This book helps to turn us from a dash to oblivion.
