Paul Fleischman offers teens an environmental wake-up call and a tool kit for decoding the barrage of conflicting information confronting them.

We're living in an Ah-Ha moment. Take 250 years of human ingenuity. Add abundant fossil fuels. The result: a population and lifestyle never before seen. The downsides weren't visible for centuries, but now they are. Suddenly everything needs rethinking - suburbs, cars, fast food, cheap prices. It's a changed world.

This book explains it. Not with isolated facts, but the principles driving attitudes and events, from vested interests to denial to big-country syndrome. Because money is as important as molecules in the environment, science is joined with politics, history, and psychology to provide the briefing needed to comprehend the 21st century.

Extensive back matter, including a glossary, bibliography, and index, as well as numerous references to websites, provides further resources.

Light weight, not thick or bulky, versatile, and perfect!
Color: White, Size: Small
Throw out all the tank tops you own cause this is the only tank top you will need from here on out. It is absolutely perfect. Let’s just say they understood the assignment. It is form fitting and pairs perfectly with lightweight sweaters that might be slightly sheer or even the new crochet type of open sweaters that need a tank underneath. It is the perfect stretch, perfect material and dressy enough to be worn on its own and upgraded with some jewelry and some classy jeans and has just enough sheen to look dressy and not like you’re wearing a workout top. I love , love this and it is my go to tank!

Comfortable, flattering wardrobe staple
Color: White, Size: Small, Color: White, Size: Small
I’ve tried a lot of basics, and this ANRABESS sleeveless scoop neck tank exceeded expectations. The fabric feels soft and breathable with a nice amount of stretch, and it has a flattering fit without being too tight or restrictive. The scoop neckline is classic and versatile, making it easy to layer or wear on its own. Stitching and construction appear well made, and it held up nicely after washing with no shrinking or loss of shape. Great quality for a basic essential, and a piece I can see reaching for often. Highly recommend.

The length is perfect. Nice and long.
Color: Yellow, Size: X-Large
These tanks are the perfect length. I love how they fit and feel. I bought these in 5 colors. Although, if you want to keep them long, I suggest hanging them to dry. Putting them in the dryer shrinks the length about 2 inches.

Great Tank Top
Color: White, Size: Large
I love this top. It fits snug and is comfortable. The length is perfect. I especially like the wide shoulder straps which hides my bra straps. I’ll order more of these in different colors.
