How often in today’s environmental debates have you read that 鈥渢he science is in dispute鈥�-even when there is overwhelming consensus among scientists? Too often, the voice of science is diminished or diluted for the sake of politics, and the public is misled. Now, the most authoritative voice in U.S. science, Science magazine, brings you current scientific knowledge on today’s most pressing environmental challenges, from population growth to climate change to biodiversity loss.

Science Magazine’s State of the Planet 2006-2007 is a unique contribution that brings together leading environmental scientists and researchers to give readers a comprehensive yet accessible overview of current issues. Included are explanatory essays from Science magazine editor-in-chief Donald Kennedy that tie together the issues and explore the relationships among them. Each of the book’s 18 chapters is written by the world’s leading experts, such as:

Joel Cohen on population
Peter Gleick on water
Daniel Pauly on fisheries
Thomas Karl on climate change science
Paul Portney on energy and development
Elinor Ostrom and Thomas Dietz on commons management

Interspersed throughout are Science news pieces that highlight particular issues and cases relevant to the main scientific findings. An added feature is the inclusion of definitions of key terms and concepts that help students and nonspecialists understand the issues. Published biennially, State of the Planet is a clear, accessible guide for readers of all levels-from students to professionals.
