Product Reviews:
  Good book ( bethbaby_69 )
This book helped alot in my Envirnomental science class, I am glad that I had it, so I could survive this class.
  The best of the introductory environmental science texts ( ccbarron )
Of the half-a-dozen environmental science texts I read in preparing a 10th grade environmental science block, this is by far the best written, with the clearest figures. Highly recommended.
  Fantastic, educational reading+Dantes exam material 
I used this book for the DANTES test: Environment and Humanity, it covered everything that was asked on the test and I believe I passed because of it's great detail. It also changed the way I look at the world and how we treat it. Really really educational, I'm glad I was made to read it.
  AWESOME TEXT!! 
This is an awesome text especially for AP students and level 1 and 2 college students! It helped me score a 5 on the AP exam and test out of my first two semesters of Environmental Science.
  superb ecology intro.... ( chalquist )
....and a clearly written blend of ecology, systems theory, and environmental science, with interesting Enrichment sections and Guest Editorials by a variety of influential figures.

I like the "liberal" slant--in other words, the call to quit being the world's biggest consumer and polluter and create a sustainable society with more realistic values than the dream of unlimited expansion--but then I can't think of anything more insane than allowing the world to overheat so the oil empires can go on making money.

Anyway, major sections covered include:

Humans and Nature: An Overview
Some Concepts of Ecology
Population, Resources, and Pollution
Environment and Society

I'm glad I bought mine used; the publisher is nuts for charging this much money for a textbook, no matter how well-crafted.
