I just finished reading "The Complete Guide to Environmental Careers in the 21st Century." As an author & consultant in the green work field, I attempt to read everything I can get my hands on that is related to green issues. Clear? I would rate this book as average at best, it is a good book, but it does not stand out among the many books on this topic.

The book highlights ten major fields that are in the environmental realm. The authors provide very help-ful information like salary ranges, what a "day in the life" looks like & what educational paths you should take to prepare yourself for these careers. The book also offers some really good advice on interviewing & writing your resume & other things that will often help you during the job search phase.

The book is a bit dated, as it was written over 5 years ago. It was interesting though to read the predictions & trends & see where they were right & see where they were wrong. Do you follow? They severely underestimated the growth of the green collar industry & hardly touched on the subject of alternative energy & sustainable energy.

In closing, I think this book was average & I would rate it a 6 out of 10. I would not recommend it at all & the reason is because it does not talk about what's relevant right now. I would suggest you look for a book that specifically focuses on the green collar industry or the growing green jobs movement
