1.0 out of 5 stars Teachers should not use this book!
The book, although it gives a valiant effort in promoting new approaches to chemistry, is a poorly put together piece of work. The appendix is oddly organized and the format of the problems is jumbled into a mess that leaves one feeling frustrated instead of inspired. As a chemistry lover, this book was a HUGE disappointment.

This book provides an excellent viewpoint on physical problem solving by "thinking outside the box". I provides great approach to setting up all types of physical problems. I found the book very useful to all types of science. You don't have to be an environmental scientist to benefit from this text. The example problems are very good and the examples stand out in my memory for a long time -- very helpful for future challenges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, July 26, 2006
This review is from: Consider a Spherical Cow (Paperback)
The book does an excellent job of teaching quantitative thinking skills and posing interesting problems. Also, it has a terrific appendix with all sorts of interesting data related to biogeochemistry.
