GREAT Textbook!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
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.

This book was well priced (much lower than campus bookstores)and in near perfect condition. The only negative was that the book took awhile to ship and be delivered, but it was still a reasonable amount of time.

This book is more than enlightening in describing and explaining in detail how we have impacted and abused our environment and what we can do to counter act some of the damage. The one thing that I find ironic about preserving the "natural way" is that scientists in all of the science type books that I have read, want to stop the natural pro-creation of man, yet clone animals and man Wow! Wierd, isn't it?
