Anyone involved in environmental protection, however indirectly, will at some
point in their career need this book. The World Who is Who and Does What in
Environment & Conservation (Earthscan, £50, ISBN 1 85383 377 0) gives
full biographical details—including addresses and telephone numbers and
notes on achievements, education, awards won and languages spoken—of 1300
leading specialists in this field. Journalists, NGOs, academics and
consultancies will be the more ignorant without it.
