Series Review: Green Careers"These well-conceived introductions focus on various jobs in each field, the education and experience required, and expected earnings. The books are well organized, making it easy to gain an overview of the major aspects of the work. By focusing on entry-level jobs and high-level professionals, and work requiring relatively little training, the authors provide well-balanced accounts of opportunities available to people at a range of educational levels and aspirations...these books will make good additions to career collections. Photographs from the field and website and contact information for professional organizations add value."

Series Review: Green Careers
"Each book in this series begins with a concise introduction, ensuring that students who are not familiar with the concept will have some background knowledge. Written in clear, concise language, each volume features color pictures and boxes with supplementary information. Chapters and sections are broken into reasonable lengths suitable for reluctant readers, but interesting enough for advanced students. All of the jobs include suggestions about appropriate degrees and levels of education necessary, as well as expected salaries. For More Information sections offer numerous additional resources. The interest in all things "green" combined with the natural desire for older students to begin thinking about career interests makes this series a current, valuable addition to secondary collections. RECOMMENDED."
