Extremely fast shipping for cheap

I ordered this book on a Friday afternoon and it arrived at my house on the following Monday. The shipping was also very cheap. I think it was $6 total for the shipping and that was with Rush added on. I will be ordering from this company again. Wonderful service!

Not helpful...

I decided to self study AP environmental science, which I eventually received a 5 for. This was a textbook I was considering to use, but I found it to be difficult to read (not to mention a bit politically-oriented). I would recommend Raven and Berg for APES, which is more concise and...

Political brain washing

Some legitimate ideas are indeed presented here- but with a thick left spin that makes it hard to see the truth- if there is any- in what the author is trying to get across. Dissapointing, considering its reputation as a good book to learn from.

A Classic of the Genre

Dr. Wright's text has really become a classic of the environmental science field for good reason: it elucidates the basic principles of environmental science with depth and readability. This tome is not in its 10th edition because it lacks merit. On the contrary, this text presents the relevant...

Excellent overview for nonscience students

I have been using this book for an online environmental science class for six years and for in-person classes before that. The students find it to be very readable and engaging. I've reviewed many other books and found that they never measure up to this textbook. As another evaluator noted,...

Low on Up-to-date Information, High on Dogma

This book is sadly out-of-date and useful only to those new to biology. The concepts are questionable and Mr. Wright doesn't provide any factual basis for his opinions despite his own strong feelings about "sound science" versus "junk science." For example, most scientists have agreed for over a...
