TAKING SIDES: Clashing Views on Controversial Environmental Issues This debate-style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in environmental policy and science. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading environmentalists, scientists, and policymakers, reflect a variety of viewpoints and are staged as "pro" and "con" debates. Issues are organized around four core areas: general philosophical and political issues, the environment and technology, disposing of wastes, and the environment and the future.

SOURCES: Notable Selections in Environmental Studies This volume brings together primary source selections of enduring intellectual value--classic articles, book excerpts, and research studies--that have shaped environmental studies and our contemporary understanding of it. The book includes carefully edited selections for the works of the most distinguished environmental observers, past and present. Selections are organized topically around the following major areas of study: energy, environmental degradation, population issues and the environment, human health and the environment, and environment and society.
Student Atlas of Environmental Issues The Student Atlas of Environmental Issues is an invaluable pedagogical tool for exploring the human impact on the air, waters, biosphere, and land in every major world region. This informative resource provides a unique combination of maps and data helping students understand the dimensions of the world's environmental problems and the geographical basis of these problems.

You Can Make a Difference: Be Environmentally Responsible. This book is organized around the three parts of the biosphere: land, water, and air. Each section contains descriptions of the environmental problems associated with that part of the biosphere. In the section on the atmosphere, for instance, such problems as acid rain and the greenhouse effect are discussed. Immediately following each problem or "challenge" are suggested ways that individuals can help solve or alleviate them. This book has been written to provide the reader with some easy and practical ways to protect the Earth and to help understand why the task is so important.

Films for the Humanities & Sciences Video Collection. A limited quantity of videotapes are available for the following topics:

• Fighting Pollution
  The war on pollution in all its forms is a pressing priority that brooks no delay. Although much remains to be done, the technology to restore our environment is already in existence. This program describes three examples of such technology: The purification of drinking water; urban and industrial sewage treatment; and vacuum pyrolysis, a revolutionary procedure that makes possible the total recycling of troublesome waste products such as tires. (23 minutes color)
• The Environment
  Every day, in every way humans seem to find new ways to despoil our planet. This program takes a global look at such problems as PCBs and acid rain. In the end, breathtaking imagery enables us to visualize the meaning of the greenhouse effect and depletion of the ozone layer. (23 minutes, color)
• Waste Disposal
  Household waste can cause pollution of all kinds, but more and more of these wastes can be recycled effectively and economically. The result is reduced pollution and a useful new source of raw materials and energy. Hospital waste disposal presents the additional problems of contaminated waste, which is a series of problems depending on the nature of the waste, contaminated blood waste. For example, requires different treatment from radioactive waste. Finally, there is animal waste, which is natural enough but nevertheless the cause of pollution if it is not properly treated. The program also shows how pig waste is treated. (23 minutes, color).
• Fragile Ecosystems
  This program looks at three fragile ecosystems, all in danger of destruction from human activity: marshes, the implication of whose destruction on wildlife, water tables, and an increasing number of other aspects of the entire biosphere is only beginning to be understood; soils, where greater understanding is contributing to more protection; and the atmosphere, which we have allude managed to alter to such an extent that the climate of the planet may have altered.

• Paul Ehrlich and The Population Bomb
  The human population is likely to double by the middle of the 21^st century, soaring past 10 billion people. How will all these people survive? Will there be enough resources to meet everyone?s needs or will there be massive social upheaval, famine, and rampant pollution? These questions have been consuming passion for biologist and environmental pioneer Paul Ehrlich, who nearly 30 years ago first set out to persuade the world that continued and unchecked population growth would upset the balance of nature and further widen the gap between developed and developing nations. Based on Ehrlich?s best-selling book, The Population Bomb, this program features compelling archival footage from around the world, as well as interview with Ehrlich, is colleagues and his critics.
