Customer Reviews

EVERYTHING makes a difference

The first time I read this book was May of 1976. The ideologies blew me away then, and 46 years later, they really rock me to my core. Stadler did a fabulous job of compiling stories “to entertain, instruct and disturb the reader.” (From the Preface)

An excellent choice for educational fiction

I found this book many years ago. It is a collection of many stories by great authors (Steinbeck, Bradley and others),each offering an environmental message in short story form. I use this book as a tool teaching science to middle school students and they all love it, although, many of the stories are targeted toward more mature readers. I'm sure that you will enjoy this book if you are lucky enough to find a copy.

A super collection of short stories with an ecological theme

One of the best collections I've ever read. Stories are by Poe, Bradbury, Vonnegut, Asimov, Agee, Steinbeck, E.B. White, du Maurier, Saroyan, and others. 20 years after I first read this collection for school I had long forgotton the authors, but could clearly remember the plots of each and every story.

thought-provoking collection of ecolological themed fiction

This book represented a collection from a variety of authors on ecological issues. As in any collection, some stories appeal to certain readers more than others. Personally, I found the collection to be well assembled and the stories to all fit the theme appropriately. It has been quite some time since my last reading, but I recall that Ray Bradbury was one author.
