FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ENVIRONMENT NEWS SERVICE LAUNCHES ENVIRONMENTAL BOOK REVIEW PORTAL SEATTLE, WA, December 6, 2005 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Books that explore environmental subjects are the focus of a new book review website opened today by the Environment News Service (ENS), the most trusted name in environmental news since 1990. Find the new ENS Books portal online at: www.ens-books.com. 
Both specialty and general publishers issue many books each year that illuminate environmental issues, but too often these exciting works are lost in the flood of other publications because there has not been a showcase dedicated especially to environmental books of all kinds - until now.
Reviewed by Seattle author, environmental eductor and former ENS columnist Jackie Alan Giuliano, Ph.D., ENS Books provides a new richness and depth to the Environment News Service online experience. Each month, books will be selected for review by the ENS editorial staff and Dr. Giuliano, who is well known to many regular ENS readers as the author of the commentary column, "Healing Our World," published on ENS for seven years. Many of Dr. Giuliano’s more than 250 commentaries are still available on ENS and are read all over the world. He is the author of two books and is a sought-after educator. ENS Books will review publications that probe issues of current importance. The ENS Books portal swings open with a review of the book, "Microbe: Are We Ready for the Next Plague?" offered by AMACOM, the publishing division of the American Management Association. Authors Alan P. Zelicoff, M.D. and Michael Bellomo address the crucial issues surrounding emerging infectious diseases and what is required to establish an effective disease surveillance system. Reviews of three important books published by New Society Publishers, based in British Columbia, also are featured. "The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies," by Richard Heinberg deals with what will happen when the peak of world oil production is reached. "Petrodollar Warfare," by award-winning author William R. Clark investigates the war to gain control over Iraq's hydrocarbon reserves and maintain the U.S. dollar as the monopoly currency for the international oil market. "EcoKids" by father and veteran author Dan Chiras demonstrates what works in raising children who appreciate the need to care for our Earth. The ENS Book Review website will have a mix of book reviews by major publishers, small presses, and self-published works, as well as books from researchers. Each book review will be accompanied by a press release from the publisher or author and a display ad linking to a website where the book can be purchased.
