Do you mean textbooks or what?

I'm a layman and looking for anything to get me thinking about the subject. Textbooks are too expensive for me, unfortunately.

You might try Silent Spring. It's what sparked the environmental movement.

Isnt ddt an obsolete problem? What about current books on current problems?

Well seriously check out that book in the image. It's a good read on the past and current situation of the world's fisheries.

Not a book but I found it interesting that even with all the robots we send into space, we still haven't found a way to make a robot that can handle the radiation at fukushima.

Thanks for all of the (few) posts guys. Reporting that I've found two cheap textbooks on ecology and they're here now. I'm also waiting for a book specifically relating to behavioural ecology.

Which textbooks did you get?

There are robots hardened against radiation. Tepco just didn't have any on hand for the cleanup. It's actually pretty simple to shield against radiation: light hydrogen for neutrons, alpha, and beta and lead for gamma (full spectrum). It does add some cost and weight but it protects electronics very well. Dedicated anti-radiation bots will be able to survive indefinitely.

As I said, I had to get what was cheapest (17 yr old NEET pride) which inevitably forced me to get older editions.
