Synopsis

Provides students with an up-to-date introduction to the study of the environment

From two active scientists with decades of research experience comes a book that provides a non-quantitative approach that is based on principles, critical thinking, and the big questions that are driving the field today. Essential Environmental Science offers a condensed look at the subject of environmental science, covering topics in a way that will help readers answer the "big questions." It eliminates overly detailed and more advanced topics in order to make the material more accessible while also placing the focus on today's important issues. The book is an excellent learning tool for helping to educate the next generation of environmentally aware students.
