Environmental Science - Toward a Sustainable Future (9th Edition) Description:

Environmental Science : Toward a Sustainable Future (9th Edition) review:
4 stars (One of the Best) - This is one of the most readable environmental texts I've seen.

It is very comprehnsive and the coverage of the newest scientific results in the science of resource conservation is simply excellent. The content is oriented around a group of themes and applied to the concept of ecosystems and their management. Is almost as if the author has takrn the first halting steps toward a unified environmental theory.



Two negative points though. Coverage of forest resources is a little thin, and like most textbooks, the price is way too high.
5 stars (Making environmental science relevant) - Professor Richard Wright has succeeded where so many others have failed, by creating a textbook that makes the subject of environmental science relevant. After all, most students taking a course that uses this book are doing so because it's required, rather than as an elective.

As an adjunct professor of environmental science at Endicott College, I have reviewed many textbooks for possible use in introductory courses. This one is a standout, and based on feedback from students over the past four years, they, too, agree.

The text is easy to read, and enhanced by many graphs, charts and photographs.
