Synopsis

This text covers all the major topics in LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE but in less detail. It provides an integrated approach that emphasizes solutions. This streamlined book distills the key concepts in environmental science and offers the student the basic material for a significantly lower price than other environmental science books. This book treats environmental science as an interdisciplinary study, combining ideas and information from natural sciences such as biology, chemistry, and geology and from social sciences such as economics, politics, and ethics to present a general idea of how nature works and how things are interconnected.
