Paul Fleischman offers teens an environmental wake-up call and a tool kit for decoding the barrage of conflicting information confronting them. We're living in an Ah-Ha moment. Take 250 years of human ingenuity. Add abundant fossil fuels. The result: a population and lifestyle never before seen. The downsides weren't visible for centuries, but now they are. Suddenly everything needs rethinking - suburbs, cars, fast food, cheap prices. It's a changed world. This book explains it. Not with isolated facts, but the principles driving attitudes and events, from vested interests to denial to big-country syndrome. Because money is as important as molecules in the environment, science is joined with politics, history, and psychology to provide the briefing needed to comprehend the 21st century. Extensive back matter, including a glossary, bibliography, and index, as well as numerous references to websites, provides further resources.Binding Type: Paperback

Size Up!
Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate, Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate
These are very comfortable! My only issue is that I'm a size 9, so I ordered the womens 9-10 and they are *almost* too small. My heel really wants to come out the back. I know the description says to size up, so you really should lol. They are also narrow, as I have wide feet! I will still wear them, just not if I have to walk too much

No more stubbed toes!
This is a very comfortable slip on shower sandal. The bowl design that makes it protect your toes and feet works like a champ! No more stubed toes !! They wore great to prevent that. And they have great traction in smooth wet surfaces. Even with soap on them.
Comfortable fit..
I would buy this product again. Thanks

Size up
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Black
I had another pair of a different style from the same seller that shrunk when left in the sun. That one wasn't available anymore, so I bought this one in the same size, and they are too small. They are comfy shoes but not true to size

Perfect for after knee surgery
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Blush
I ordered these after having knee surgery and they’ve been a god send. I wear them around the house and they help so much with knee pain. They’re great quality and sized as expected.
