Rather
than the 25 to 30 chapters found in most environmental science
textbooks, the authors have limited Principles of Environmental
Science: Inquiry and Applications to 16 chapters - perfect for the
one-semester, non-majors environmental science course. True to its
title, the goal of this concise text is to provide an up-to-date,
introductory view of essential themes in environmental science along
with offering students numerous opportunities to practice scientific
thinking and active learning.
