Entirely revised and streamlined for 21st century courses! The authors have revised this 8th edition from top to bottom, updating, improving readability, and providing today's Environmental Science student with the best and most current resources for developing critical thinking about the world around us.
A balanced analytical and interdisciplinary approach, coupled with a solid scientific background in environmental science, makes this a vital text for students.

- Six central themes woven through the text—Human Population Growth, Sustainability, A Global Perspective, An Urban World, People and Nature, and Science and Values—are reinforced via Closer Look boxes and Reexamining Themes sections.
- Students are encouraged to create their own solutions to the problems presented, giving them a hands-on opportunity to practice the scientific method.
