Visualizing the Environment

by Linda R. Berg, Mary Catherine Hager, Leslie Goodman

"Visualizing the Environment," Canadian Edition follows a fresh approach to Environmental Science. Wiley, in partnership with National Geographic, has created a visually-focused text designed to uniquely address the processing style of today's student by making material accessible and engaging without sacrificing content.
"Visualizing the Environment" focuses on environmental sustainability and teaches students the principles of understanding the biological, physical, and socioeconomic attributes of the environment. It centres on problems that have resulted from human activities, and most importantly looks at a diversity of solutions and actions that can be taken to ensure the future well-being of our Earth.

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.
