Updated throughout with the latest environmental information, issues, and facts, the new Eighth Edition of Environmental Science provides a clear introduction to the environmental topics facing society today and offers many possible solutions on how we can move towards a more sustainable way of life
The author focuses on the root cause of many environmental problems and takes care to presents both sides of the issues. Every chapter emphasizes critical analysis to teach students how to approach these complex topics and determine the merits of the debates for themselves. New Go Green tips offer suggestions for how students can be more environmentally conscious in their daily lives.
This is probably the best written, most easy to read, and most enjoyable to read textbook I have ever purchased. (Being a graduate student, I have certainly purchased my share of textbooks!) It is comprehensive and instead of just talking about environmental problems, it offers suggestions on what we have to do as a civilization to be more sustainable and turn the planet around. It is obvious that Daniel Chiras was once a student and knows how to engage students and keep us interested in a textbook.
