Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.

He holds memberships in many biological/educational societies and organizations and has received numerous honors and awards. Dr. Cunningham has devoted himself to education and teaching development at the undergraduate level in biology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentle on the issues but well written., August 20, 2004

By	B. Ames "Bariot" (Westchester, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Environmental Science: A Global Concern (Hardcover)

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.

This text is a clearly defined study of environmental science.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Environmental Overview, December 12, 2008

By	J. Dufour - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Environmental Science: A Study of Interrelationships (Paperback)

This text was decent as an intro to environmental issues but lacked depth on some things. In addition there were many typos and grammatical no-no's that were a bit aggravating. The easy practice tests that the publisher provides on their site is rather insulting and was of no value for study purposes.
