The 16th Edition of ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE is "inspiring people to care about the planet."

I used this book for my Environmental Science college course.
Very helpful.

Miller and Spoolman's Environmental Science reads less as a textbook and more as environmentalist propaganda. A balanced approach would have been more appropriate.
