Environmental Science

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

Book Overview

Environmental Science: A Global Concern is a comprehensive presentation of environmental science for non-science majors which emphasizes critical thinking, environmental responsibility, and global awareness. 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. As practicing scientists and educators, the Cunningham author team brings decades of experience in the classroom, in the practice of science, and in civic engagement. This experience helps give students a clear sense of what environmental science is and why it matters in this exciting, new 13th edition. Environmental Science: A Global Concern provides readers with an up-to-date, introductory global view of essential themes in environmental science. The authors balance evidence of serious environmental challenges with ideas about what we can do to overcome them. An entire chapter focuses on ecological restoration; one of the most important aspects of ecology today. Case studies in most chapters show examples of real progress, and "What Can You Do?" lists give students ideas for contributing to solutions.

Customer Reviews

Environmental Science

Book arrived QUICK. Thank you for sending it so fast. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

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.
