Environmental Science, Student Review Guide: Earth as a Living Planet

I purchased this book a few months ago, as a means of self studying for the AP Environmental Science exam. So far, this book has proved to be excellent in successfully learning the material, and emphasizes the everlasting dispute between science and values. I initially wanted to only take this test for some easy college credit; however, Environmental Science has now become a very interesting subject for me thanks to this amazing book. Through great pictures and maps, the reader can more thoroughly comprehend the material. I definately give this book 5 stars, as it is greatly written and has made me far more interested in the subject.

Perfect as promised. Arrived quickly. One item of note, it doesn't seem to come with the wileyplus online registration information for access to the additional learning material. The e-book (~$60) purchase would be one option for getting to that material. Still a great product and a great price. I need it for two classes,so I'm thrilled about the price.

Its a used book, but looks brand new. I got the book within 3-4 days after i ordered which was right on time and i saved at least $40 then i would have if i had bought it at the bookstore at my school.

I am using this book for a class in college and it is extremely informative so far (after reading about 6 of the chapters), has many ways to look at the information and issues surrounding it, and also maintains the central theme that is key in environmental science: the relationship between science and values. I really like it and will be keeping the book instead of selling it off to someone else.

Comprehensive and thorough, clear and understanable even for youth. Ilustrations contribute a lot to the overall picture.
