Synopsis

This concise, inexpensive text covers all major topics found in Miller's longer texts (Living in the Environment and Environmental Science) but in less detail. It provides an integrated approach emphasizing solutions and distilling the key concepts in environmental science to offer students the basic material for half the price of other environmental science texts. Miller treats environmental science as an interdisciplinary study, combining ideas and information from the natural sciences (including biology, chemistry, and geology), and the social sciences (economics and politics), along with ethical perspectives to give students a truly multidimensional picture of how environmental systems are interconnected. Miller's environmental science texts have been used by millions of students throughout the country and outsell all other environmental science texts.
