Gr 10 Up-A college directory that's particularly well designed and user friendly, due (at least in part) to its narrow focus and input from specialists in the field. It should be examined cover to cover by any student who feels a pull toward an environmental career. The rigorous criteria for inclusion were established by members of the Alliance for Environmental Education and are spelled out in the opening pages. The collection of essays in the ``Career Watch 2000'' section makes a clear distinction between ``environmental studies'' and ``environmental science,'' establishing their interdependence and providing models for each approach. Careers and opportunities in teaching, government, the corporate world, and the private non-profit sector are discussed in general terms. The bulk of the volume is devoted to one-page profiles of individual programs at each institution, arranged by the major career fields. A glossary, an annotated bibliography, and two indexes (geographical and institutional) are also included. An excellent resource for all high-school libraries, college-admissions counselors, and science departments that seek to foster interest in environmental education.-Tess McKellen, Packer Collegiate Institute, Brooklyn (c) Copyright 2010.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
This specialized Peterson's guide lists more than 100 colleges and universities that offer programs in environmental studies. The book was published in cooperation with the Alliance for Environmental Education, an association of more than 240 business, labor, health, educational, and environmental organizations. Representatives from the alliance formed an advisory board that prepared minimum selection criteria for the programs to be included in the book. More than 400 programs were evaluated in order to choose the ones profiled here. "Career Watch 2000" consists of five essays discussing environmental careers in business, government, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions. "Program Profiles" comprises the bulk of the book. Five different sections--"Environmental Engineering and Design," "Environmental Health," "Environmental Science," "Environmental Studies," and "Natural Resources Management"--give one-page descriptions of each institution. The entries follow the same basic format of the larger Peterson's guides, containing specific facts about the school and the program, including areas of major concentration. The profiles include a brief summary of the most likely employment results for the graduating students, and some entries name employers that have recently recruited on campus. The guide provides a glossary, bibliography, geographic index, and an index to the listed colleges and universities. It does not contain information on special scholarships or sources of funding. For the price ($10.95), this small guide is a convenient ready-reference source that will supplement the larger Peterson's Guide to Four Year Colleges. The more comprehensive source does list all these colleges and universities but does not contain descriptive summaries of these specific programs. (Reviewed Mar. 1, 1993)

This directory profiles more than 100 undergraduate environmental programs offered at U.S. colleges and universities that meet criteria developed by the Alliance for Environmental Education. Program profiles are grouped into five chapters: Environmental Engineering and Design, Environmental Health, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, and Natural Resources Management. Precise one-page entries describe each program's objectives and special features, majors offered, and information about the career paths of graduates. In addition, a ``fast facts'' chart lists enrollment and faculty figures, number of degrees conferred, tuition, and a contact name for further information. Since many of the profiles contain technical terms, the book also includes a glossary of environmental terminology. Five essays by prominent environmentalists outline career opportunities in teaching, government, corporations, and the nonprofit sector. A useful bibliography of additional career-related resources, as well as geographical and college and university indexes, complete the volume. The directory should be very helpful to college applicants interested in pursuing environmental studies. Recommended for public and undergraduate college libraries.-- Barbara S.
