Reviewers
Here's what reviewers are saying about Environmental Science: A Global Concern:
"This text is excellent as it provides a balanced view of renewable energy sources, taking into account both the advantages and disadvantages of the available technologies." Lawrence Roberge Goodwin College
"Objectivity, readability, and visual presentations all combine to make this text stand out from all of the others out there. The authors' thoroughness and objective treatment of the topics are genuine strengths of this textbook." Ned Knight Linfield College
"The voice of the Cunningham text is more optimistic than the book we are currently using." Susan Brydon Golz Rockland Community College
"Seldom have I seen such a good, succinct explanation of historical trends in world temperature means and why Milankovitch cycles occur." David A. Francko Miami University (Ohio)
"What a novel idea [How to Study chapter]! Many of our students come into the course with a circumscribed background in science, and this section answers many questions that are foremost in their minds. I believe that this chapter does a wonderful job of opening the idea of active self-learners to them and importantly describes the techniques needed to make this transition." Glenn Wehner Truman State University
"The photographs are good and generally have short and to-the-point captions. There are a number of very good illustrations of which I have not seen this type of before in any other text." Patricia Smith Valencia Community College
"These are great illustrations, much improved over the common diagrammatic-flow representations used in most texts." David Johnson Michigan State UniversityA note from the authors:
We're indebted to all the students and teachers who have sent helpful suggestions, corrections, and recommendations for improving this book. Unfortunately, space doesn’t permit inclusion of all the excellent ideas that were provided. All have been saved, however, and will be helpful in future editions. We hope that those who read this edition will offer their advice and insights as well. Little of the vast range of material in this book represents our own personal research. All of us owe a great debt to the many scholars whose work forms the basis of our understanding of environmental science. We stand on the shoulders of giants. If errors persist in spite of our best efforts to root them out, we accept responsibility and ask for your indulgence.
We especially want to thank our distinguished panel of advisors who helped select this edition's cover, and more importantly, guided the amazing new art program through development. We're very grateful for their thoughtful and timely comments on such critical illustrations. Bill Cunningham
