Environmental Science: A Global Concern

By William P. Cunningham, Mary Cunningham, Eldon D. Enger, et al.

Book Overview

This book is intended for use in a one- or two-semester course in environmental science, human ecology, or environmental studies at the college or advanced placement high school level. Because most students who will use this book are freshman or sophomore nonscience majors, the authors have tried to make the text readable and accessible without technical jargon or a presumption of prior science background. At the same time, enough data and depth are presented to make this book suitable for many upper-division classes and a valuable resource for students who will keep it in their personal libraries after their formal studies are completed.The goal of this book is to provide an up-to-date, introductory view of essential themes in environmental science along with emphasis on details and case studies that will help students process and retain the general principles.

Great Buy! Awesome Condition! Speedy Delivery!

The book was in really good condition. I might be able to resell it at one of the bookstores around campus and make some money!!! Highly recommend!

Good Job

Book is for a college course. But the seller did a great job of sending this book to me at my deployed location. Thank you NASHbookseller for your prompt service.

Gentle on the issues but well written.

I am an environmental science teacher who chooses to use this book. I agree with the long winded reviewer that this book is gentle on the issues, but believe this approach to be important in an introductory course. As the teacher, I make it my job to color the issues I find important. The 8th edition is out, so this version will become less popular.

A clearly defined study of environmental science

This text is a clearly defined study of environmental science. It is full of content and each chapter offers extensional learning through the use open-ended presentations of current events applicable to the content. There are loads of interesting topics and there are also references to Online sources for additional information. This is an excellent book for the study of environmental science.
