From the Publisher:
This text helps students to see that their knowledge of basic chemistry can be used to understand the nature of the Earth and the impacts that humans are having upon it. Spiro and Stigliani identify major environmental issues in the areas of energy, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, then analyze the chemical basis of those issues. The text is compact, yet comprehensive, connecting (1) basic chemical understanding to environmental issues and (2) the links between socio-economic indicators and impacts on the environment. Incorporating the newest developments in environmental science, Chemistry of the Environment is the most up-to-date and thorough analysis of Environmental Chemistry.
From the Back Cover:

Concise, comprehensive, readable, and current, Chemistry of the Environment, Second Edition, is the most thorough, up-to-date, and user-friendly treatment of environmental chemistry available. This book, designed for students who have taken or are taking general chemistry, explores and discusses topics such as energy flow through nature, the greenhouse effect, climate modeling, chemistry of the ozone layer, air pollution, redox potential and water pollution, toxic chemicals, and acid rain. Featuring an unsurpassed marriage of chemical principles with issues of environmental concern, this book is unrivaled in terms of its ability to explain the chemistry behind the headlines.
