Visualizing Environmental Science

by Linda R. Berg, David M. Hassenzahl, Mary Catherine Hager

The new third edition provides environmental scientists with an approach that focuses on visuals rather than excessive content. The streamlined coverage discusses the basic science so students walk away with a strong understanding of the facts. New Think Critically and Data Interpretation features encourage them to analyse visuals and graphs to place information in context. The illustrations have been improved and additional opportunities to conduct real data analysis have been added. The What a Scientist Sees feature also gives environment scientists a real-world perspective of how a concept or phenomenon is applied in the field.

A really good book as far as textbooks go . . . this was interesting enough in the way that it presented the information that I wasn't dying of boredom and I learned quite a bit that I don't think I would have been able to get anywhere else. I can understand why some sort of Environmental Science class is becoming required in high schools all over now and I wish that I would have had to take one but I guess I'm just too old. Sad face.

The only thing that I'm truly not happy about is that it came as basically a bunch of pages that needed to be placed into a three ring binder in order to be functional as a book. That and I think that it would have really been about a 250 pages book if they took out all the chapter review things. Does anyone really ever read those or do those?

The physical book was okay, I didn't love that it's loose and needs a 3-ring binder to be used. But the digital copy makes this worth it.
