A nice layout. Excellent summary and reference point for a range of important topics - a starting point for students with key readings that students can use as basis to develop their ideas / understanding of concepts.
This book appears to be glorified glossary. It provides concise descriptions of numerous topics, but did not go into sufficient details for it to be of use in my course. I had hoped for a more practical approach.
Excellent book to be used as background reading to get a feel for the subject area. The book is a very easy to read overview of what can be a complicated area (especially for new learners).
A fantastic compendium that offers a solid introduction to a huge range of topics within the field of environmental science.
Recommended as background reading to get a feel for the area of study. The book is a very easy to read overview of what can be a complicated area (especially for students with no previous experience of environmental sciences).
