Purchased as a gift

I purchased this book as a gift for my sister-in-law who is studying for her Environmental Science degree. Given that the book was not for me I can only review the basics. I have given the book 4 stars purely because I cannot confirm the adequacy of it's content, though it appears very good to the layman's eye: - Nice, strong binding. - Attractive and well presented. - Perfect palm size - Appears very thorough in content - Great price I'm happy with my purchase - and so was my S.I.L.
