Summary: Good overview of environmental careers, I recommend it!
Comment: As Director of Environmental Studies I regularly recommend this book to students who come to see me about environment-related career possibilities.

The book is divided into 4 parts:

1) Job hunting in the environmental field. In this section readers are given hints about education, using volunteer and internship opportunities, and ways to break into the environmental job market.

2) Planners and communicators. In this section readers are provided info about jobs related to these two areas, including environmental education.

3) Environmental protection. In this section information about industries such as solid waste management, hazardous waste mgt, air quality mgt, and water quality mgt are outlined. There are opportunties in both private and public sectors for people trained in these areas.

4) Natural resource management. This section describes the kinds of jobs most people tend to think of for someone trained in the environmental sciences: land and water conservation; fisheries; wildlife mgt; park maintenance and mgt; outdoor recreation; and forestry.

All in all, this book provides a nice introduction to environmental careers. I know that students of mine have used this book to look for job directions, and to show their parents that choosing a major in environmental studies can lead to a wide range of viable career options.

Probably the best overview book on the market.

5 stars.
