Pollution : Earth's Conditions Series by Zachary Inseth
"Pollution is an overgrowing environmental nuisance, and noise
pollution is intruding life in every house of today's big cities. There
are several ways to confront noise pollution, like physical means, legal
ways, or educational efforts. This book deals with noise pollution by
teaching children how it is caused and created, how it affects people
and how it can be blocked and reduced. It also makes them aware to the
damage it may cause to any human being. In simple language, large fonts
and nice pictures, fact by fact, this book tells the nature of noise,
how it is caused, and the ways to fight it. Children, as we all know,
are tomorrow's citizens, and should better be ready to eliminate the
growing levels of pollution by every means, like reading such book. It
is highly recommended to every school library in the western world's big
cities." -- Shlomo Arad

The only organization in the world with a research program
dedicated to interfacing with wild animals (especially dolphins and whales) through music,
art, and ceremony. (IC is a US non-profit) founded in 1978 to promote a better
understanding of what is communicated between human beings and other animals. Our methods
focus an integration of the arts and the sciences with a strong emphasis placed upon
environmental preservation. This holistic approach seems especially important right now
because the environmental crisis we all face is largely crisis in how we humans perceive
our place within nature. The work of IC functions primarily to help people re-establish
their emotional, spiritual, and cultural ties with the natural world.
