Taken from The New York Times' Science Times section, each entry is clearly written and easily understood by the layperson. The writers represented here include William K. Stevens, Jane Brody, and Natalie Angier. The essays, which are arranged in nine sections, cover everything from tiny denizens of tropical rainforests to entire ecosystems. Science Times editor Nicholas Wade also includes pieces on the politics and economics of the environment, providing a much~needed context for the issues raised in the body of the book. The New York Times Book of Science Literacy, Volume II, concludes with an introduction to a new school of ecologists who are determined to restore lost and damaged habitats. All in all, this is a fascinating, often disturbing, look at the present status of the globe and its inhabitants, and an important contribution to the growing field of ecoliteracy.
