Somewhat Significant Sources

Well, I've been looking here and there, and have come up with a few good books pertaining to my position topic: the need for immediate harnessing and utilization of alternative energies. Here a a couple of sources I've scraped up...

Dominant Wave Theory (Hughes, Hines, Karliner, Lencek, Short, & Thompson)
This is a great visual and informational resource, containing thought-provoking essays and startling photography on the subject of the environment, especially with regards to the ocean and the effects of polluting - and how this would effect the world in which we all live. I hope to glean a good amount of material and insight from these pages.

To the Young Environmentalist (Leuzzi)
Yes, I admit, this book sounds a bit juvenile. The fact is, it contains a great deal of relative information on my subject. To the Young Environmentalist includes stories and essays from both environmentalists and opposers, sharing their experiences, ideas, learnings, and more. Focusing mostly on preservation and renewal of natural habitats and resources, this book provides some interesting tidbits and viewpoints from which to learn.

Civic Environmentalism -
Alternatives to Regulation in States and Communities (John)
A down-to-earth guide to the rules and regulations involved with the environment - past, present and future. The author, DeWitt John, takes his education and background on the subject and presents his findings with honesty, respect, and a willingness to solve problems such as energy and energy conservation, habitat degradation and restoration, and the use of harmful chemicals on our environment.

Well, that's all I have for now. I hope to gain a bit of knowledge from this assignment, and am excited to move forward in the class and learn more!
Thank you.
