I guess the title says it all 'Great Read (for a school text book)'

This was a book that was required for a class I took. I read it from cover to cover. I have to say - each chapter was well written and interesting. Each chapter addressed a different natural resource (for example air, freshwater, etc) including many I never considered (like top soil).

There is a newer edition out there. I contacted the publisher about an update. In hindsite I cannot believe that I, a simple minded student, would ask a publisher for an update! I guess that's just a testament to how interesting the book was, I was thinking perhaps maybe a pdf containing the 2 new chapters. The response I got was NO!

Now that the stink eye has been focused on the publisher, there was one point in the book that was a bit annoying. I did not like how the text kept refering to a picture or figure or graphic that almost always was on the next or the previous page turn. I guess that's the challange of the publisher and will always be a problem with the published medium.

OK ... so maybe I dont particularly care for the publishers, but it wont stop me from buying another book from them and this is still a great book.

I bought this as a textbook for a class. I'm finding it well organized and thoughtful with a good amount of detail in each chapter.

This book does a wonderful job covering all aspects of conservation of natural resources from economics to ethics. It gives a very complete view of all the factors to be considered when you desire to conserve a resource.

This book was in great condition for a used book, and so much cheaper than what my university bookstore wanted. Great buy!

I ordered a book and was sent the wrong book, It has been five weeks and Book Byte has not refunded my money. Won't use them again

Just what I needed for my class and in excellent condition as represented. Fast shipping
