Offering a more concise resource for environmental scientists, the seventh edition explores important environmental
issues and shows how to apply this information on the job. It focuses on a systems approach, presenting a framework
for thinking about environmental science. The recurring theme of global climate change as a system is integrated
throughout the chapters, uncovering both the positive and negative roles that people play in that system. Environmental
scientists will also benefit from the revised art program. New photos and illustrations help reinforce concepts
and make the material come to life.
