Library Journal Review

Environmental concerns have created a demand by the public for more information. To meet this need, the publisher has created the ``Environmental Library'' series, patterned after their ``Literature Criticism'' series. The volume contains reprinted, excerpted essays from 100 popular and professional journals. Entries such as global warming, population, and wildlife conservation are 15-20 pages in length. Each entry contains a brief overview of the topic, various in-depth commentaries from the reprinted articles, and a bibliography. The articles and bibliography are somewhat outdated, with most citations published in the 1980s and only a small number from the 1990s. Gale has plans to continue this series with volumes on new subjects and updates of previous topics. Public and undergraduate libraries that need a convenient source of environmental information may want to consider, but lack of timeliness rule this out as a necessary purchase.-- Eva Lautemann, DeKalb Coll.
