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

Cute sky blue linen suit for toddler!
Size: 3, Color: Sky Blue, Size: 3, Color: Sky Blue
I got this Trasign Kids Linen Suit in sky blue for my 2 year old, thinking my wife said “blue” (turns out she meant navy or something darker 😅). I actually really like the light, airy sky blue. It’s fresh, summery, and looks adorable on him for photos or special occasions. My wife? Not so much. She immediately said “baby blue ugly” 😅😅
On the plus side:
• Soft fabric – linen blend feels gentle and breathable on little skin, no itchiness or stiffness.
• Nicely packaged – arrived with very little wrinkling (barely needed steaming), which is a win for linen.
• Good fit for a toddler – true to size, easy to button, and the shorts/pants have adjustable waist for growing kids.
• Looks sharp once on – the set gives that classic little gentleman vibe without feeling over the top.
It’s a quality piece overall, just a classic case of “what one spouse loves, the other doesn’t” on the color. If sky blue works for your family (or you’re shopping solo like me 🤣), it’s a solid buy.

Sharp and goes well with fancy, or jeans. Looks great for the price.
Size: Large, Color: Black
As tweed Herringbone vests go, this is rather nice and fits well. I'm 5'10", medium build and the Large fit nicely. I ordered it to go with my Oktoberfest Lederhosen outfit (worn to Oktoberfest in Munich), and it worked well. It'll also work with jeans. It's not some high quality piece, but for the price, appears more expensive than what it costs.

Nicely made
Size: XX-Large, Color: Burgundy
Good vest, nice material, good stitching, not too warm. I like it for over a button down shirt.

Nice Qualtiy for the Money
Size: Large, Color: Light Blue
I originally ordered this vest in XL based on other reviewers' suggestions to up size, but I returned it for a large. Vests should fit snugly and not be loose. I'm 5"9" and 175lbs and the large was a good fit for me. The material is not as heavy as I expected based on the photos but it is not flimsy. It is well constructed with a nice liner. For the money it is a really nice item. I have nicer vests but then they cost several times what this one did. Overall, I am very happy with it.
