'An excellent text... ample thought-provoking material to stimulate student groups, accompanied by clear and concise figures, diagrams and charts... I recommend it as a most useful addition to the introductory course material for environmental science students at a price accessible to most cohort groups.'
- Clive Roberts, University of Wolverhampton, UK

'Ideally suited to the student of the 21st century. It provides a cornucopia of environmental information that will both challenge and stimulate the reader. The principles underlying key issues are presented in a readable manner and are reinforced by the effective presentation of relevant case studies.'
- Jennifer Jones, Liverpool John Moores University, UK

'I find the content superior to virtually all I have seen on the market.'
- Beverley Wemple, University of Vermont, USA
