New to this Edition

The eighth edition has undergone a major revision and reorganization reflecting both the wealth of new information available and valuable suggestions for improvement by a large number of reviewers who have been kind enough to read the text carefully and offer their detailed comments. Among these changes are:

Updated art program with 129 new photographs and over 100 new or revised pieces of line art, including 50 new, beautiful, highly realistic, 3D drawings. Below are two samples.

New Key Concepts boxes to help students keep track of major points.

New Exploring Science boxes to emphasize important scientific questions and help students understand how science works.

New large fold-out piece featuring full-color physiographic and political world maps.

New bulleted list format for Chapter Summaries so that students will recognize major issues more clearly.

Updated graphs and tables with new data or better presentations.

Revised Chapter Objectives and Questions for Review and Discussion to reflect new and revised material. To help students study effectively, all these elements follow the chapter organization more closely than before.

New brief list of Selected Readings in each chapter to suggest some especially valuable sources for further study. There is also a much more extensive reading list on the Online Learning Center with roughly 100 citations from recent literature per chapter.

Moved chapters 8 (Ecological Economics) and 10 (Environmental Policy and Law) at the suggestion of several reviewers, from the middle to the end of the book. These chapters can now serve as a capstone for previous discussions.
