eh...

I got this book as required for an environmental studies class. It may just be that I have taken an environmental science class prior to reading this text book, but the book seemed to lack new or interesting information that might be considered beyond common knowledge. At times the text even seemed excessively vague and repetitive. Some of the only new information I received from this book was the foundations and progressive development of the environmental movement in the United States. For somebody who lacks any real information about environmental matters- this book may be a good place to start, but if you have any background on the matter- I would recommend finding a more complex textbook.

Ughhh! Avoid this textbook!

If your college professor is planning to use this textbook, drop the class and find something else in which to enroll. Since enrolling in my Environmental Studies program, this has been the absolute worst textbook I have been required to use.The authors write the entire book in essay format and make far too many generalizations for a college-level textbook. Without more concrete examples, the material is extremely dry. Worse, much of the text contains the authors' opinions where they are trying to persuade the student to their line of thinking instead of allowing the reader to form his/her own opinion based on facts and science. Perhaps the most annoying thing about this textbook is the authors' repetitive use of terms such as "most successful species" and world without edges." The redundancy as you move from chapter to chapter is blatant and extremely annoying to read.In my opinion, this textbook is the product of three people with PhDs who perceive their education as a qualification to write a book and pass it off as a good piece of educational literature. They definitely prove one thing... just because you have a PhD does not mean you are qualified to write a book.Please professors, if you are considering a textbook for a sustainability class, steer clear of this one!

missing pages

Chapter 4 and part of chapter 5 were not there and the pages weren't ripped out. They were never put in the book for whatever reason. It just jumps from page 74 to 107.

It's about 2,100 words too long "In this book" repeats on almost every page, wonder who the proof reader was. It's was an interesting read but not worth $50+ dollars.

Great book but be aware of e-edition

Great book, wise book, best introduction to environmental studies around. But be aware: this edition is not a paperback, as Amazon suggests, but an e-book! If like me, you hate reading from a screen, order one of the other editions.
