As an envirnmental science undergrad pupil, I actually enjoyed this book. The textual content does a wonderful job of explaining the ideas with examples. The pictures are beautiful and insightful, and the graphs and asides add additional, clarifying information. I discovered myself actually having fun with reading this ebook before class, and it really supplemented the typically hasty lectures given by my professors.
