Customer Reviews

Perfect. Exactly as promised

Perfect as promised. Arrived quickly. One item of note, it doesn't seem to come with the wileyplus online registration information for access to the additional learning material. The e-book (~$60) purchase would be one option for getting to that material. Still a great product and a great price. I need it for two classes,so I'm thrilled about the price.

Great price for this book!

:)

Its a used book, but looks brand new. I got the book within 3-4 days after i ordered which was right on time and i saved at least $40 then i would have if i had bought it at the bookstore at my school.

Science is awesome

I am using this book for a class in college and it is extremely informative so far (after reading about 6 of the chapters), has many ways to look at the information and issues surrounding it, and also maintains the central theme that is key in environmental science: the relationship between science and values. I really like it and will be keeping the book instead of selling it off to someone else.

Pretty good overview of environmental science

I took a class which used this textbook at the University of California, Santa Barbara, which was co-taught by one of the authors, Ed Keller. This is an introductory book that provides a decent overview of the problems we are currently facing in regard to the environment, what we can do to solve those problems, and other opportunities that our environment can give us.
