Quotes From Reviewers
Here's what people are saying about this book;
"I consider this approach to be an excellent way to present the varied concepts of environmental science to an undergraduate class and I feel that the author has succeeded in making his case studies interesting and informative. I highly recommend this book to teachers who wish to keep their students interested in the subject throughout their course."
Stephen Herr, Oral Roberts University
"I have used portions of this work in three classes. I've found the case studies to be very useful frameworks for discussions of environmental science. My students have been enthusiastic about the case study approach; they (and I) especially like the integration of history, science, natural history, policy, and economics."
Dennis Todd, University of Oregon
"The principle reason I like the text is that the story-style of presentation of the case studies provides so much more interest than the usual general-subject type of treatment. Second, it is very up-to-date. Third, it is non-biased; the author goes to quite some lengths to be fair, but does not omit pertinent information. And fourth, it is extremely well written. The coverage on global warming and the ozone hole were particularly outstanding-the best treatment I've ever seen on these subjects."
David Fisher, Maharishi University of Management
