Essentials of Environmental Science

by Andrew J. Friedland, Rick Relyea, David Courard-Hauri

At just 15 chapters, Essentials of Environmental Science is ideal for a one-semester course. It takes the same non-biased approach as its parent text, teaching students to think critically about data presented. In addition to being briefer, Essentials is even more accessible placing less emphasize on math calculations. The coverage of ecology, agriculture, energy, and water has also been streamlined to provide a more focused treatment of the science concepts.

I realized I basically already had an environmental science minor except for intro and so I’m taking intro and I’m counting this because I did have to summarize every chapter to pass it so. It might have been interesting for someone who didn’t already have most of a biology degree and most of an environmental science minor but that is not me so reading it was the bane of my semester.
