Do you think that the Ozone Hole is a

the Green Revolution happened in Greenland? Then you need The
Cartoon Guide to the Environment to put you on the road to
environmental literacy.
The Cartoon Guide to the

covers the main topics of environmental science: chemical cycles, life
communities, food webs, agriculture, human population growth, sources
of energy and raw materials, waste disposal and recycling, cities,
pollution, deforestation, ozone depletion, and global warming -- and
puts them in the context of ecology, with discussions of population
dynamics, thermodynamics, and the behavior of complex systems.
