Ah, this is my QueenTrained as a marine biologist (see the next book listed), Rachel Carson wrote one of the most important books ever in the field of environmental and naturalist literatureAs the cover of a new commemorative cover states, this book is "the cornerstone of modern environmentalism"It is one of four or five books every naturalist should read, by one of the most courageous writers of all.

<br><br>
If a separate Appropedia content page or entry, or other related website refers to the Resource entry, please provide a link.  This alone should validate entries to the list for most people using Appropedia.  And do just the reverse--when adding content pages using references to publications, add the publication here, too, to increase availability.

If the entry has easy sources to acquire/read the entry, please include those.  Websites for books/articles, for either physical purchase, reading, or download, are always helpful.   
<br><br>
Though this is not purely a review space, since some would prefer just to provide information without comment, everyone can offer/add reviews at the prompt "''Review:...''" whether negative, neutral, or positive, but please do so after reading the publicationIf practical, an "appropriateness" gauge or voting process will be set up to validate or cull entries.

Carson, R.L.  1951.  The Sea Around Us.  Oxford Univ.  230 pp.
This is an earlier, lesser known title from Miss Carson, but the scope of her knowledge and the strength of her prose conveys the beauty and subtlety of the marine environment like no one else, and provides a sample of what "Silent Spring" would convey 12 years later.  A newer (2003) commemorative edition is beautiful.  [[User:SustainableDavid|SustainableDavid]] 18:20, 13 August 2008 (PDT)

Revision as of 20:01, 19 August 2010

Let this be the best guide to helpful literature for our use in learning and spreading knowledge. This is both a listing of written and printed resources, and reviews and recommendations of those resources.

Add publications, whether brand new, or items around forever, in the appropriate groups and alphabetically by author(s) in the group. Please use a format as close as possible to the existing entries, which is similar to formats used everywhere. Author, year, title, publisher, number of ages, and ISBN is for books. Article format is similar, but uses volume and number, and ISSN if available. Periodicals should include ISSN as well. If some information for an entry is unavailable, please just include what is. Better to be incomplete, and someone can complete it, than not to share knowledge. Don't know the author? Use "Anon." He/She is the most prolific author the world has ever seen. No year? Use "XXXX." And so on.... Use Bold for all main entries.

If a separate Appropedia content page or entry, or other related website refers to the Resource entry, please provide a link. This alone should validate entries to the list for most people using Appropedia. And do just the reverse--when adding content pages using references to publications, add the publication here, too, to increase availability.

If the entry has easy sources to acquire/read the entry, please include those. Websites for books/articles, for either physical purchase, reading, or download, are always helpful.

Though this is not purely a review space, since some would prefer just to provide information without comment, everyone can offer/add reviews at the prompt "Review:..." whether negative, neutral, or positive, but please do so after reading the publication. If practical, an "appropriateness" gauge or voting process will be set up to validate or cull entries.

This should be a resource for substance, for the highest, most appropriate value, and not just advertising space.
