Healthy Homes, Healthy Kids
Every day in every home, children may be exposed to hidden environmental hazards. But now, parents can do something to protect their children. Common toxins found in lawn pesticides and household cleaners, as well as radon and lead, are a serious threat to growing children. Healthy Homes, Healthy Kids will help you identify and eliminate these hidden hazards. Children are more vulnerable to toxins and hazardous substances than adults and may suffer, sometimes years later, serious consequences from exposure to common household hazards. The authors address the medical and scientific evidence behind their suggestions in brief, nontechnical explanations. This balanced approach, combined with guidelines about safe alternatives, provides the assistance parents need to create a safe family environment. This handbook guides you through a child's daily routine to identify hazards that often are overlooked. The authors provide specific, hands-on solutions for protecting children from even the most toxic substances. Following each chapter is a valuable information and resources section.

For the Wild Places
For the Wild Places profiles five of the unsung heroes of the new discipline of conservation biology -- the front-line soldiers of the conservation movement who have dedicated their lives to saving endangered species and habitats. In addition to describing the day-to-day activities of the scientists, author Janet Bohlen explores the wider issues that are ultimately responsible for the success or failure of conservation efforts. In the course of her travels, she came to appreciate the complex interaction of local and global needs, and the reality of the political and social context in which all such efforts take place. In describing the scientists, their lives, and their work, she effectively conveys the fundamental importance and ever-present challenge of a life devoted to protecting the environment.
