'Inspiring people to care about the planet '' In the new edition of ENVIRONNMENTAL SCIENCE, authors Tyler Miller and Scott Spoolman have partnered with the National Geographic Society to develop a text designed to equip students with the inspiration and knowledge they need to make a difference solving today's environmental issues. Exclusive content highlights important work of National Geographic Explorers and Grantees and features over 180 new photos, maps, and illustrations that bring course concepts to life. The text's concept-centered approach transforms complex environmental topics and issues into key concepts that students will understand and remember. Using sustainability as their central theme, the authors emphasize natural capital, natural capital degradation, solutions, trade-offs, and the importance of individuals. As a result, students learn how nature works, how they interact with it, and how humanity has sustained'and can continue to sustain'its relationship with the earth by applying nature's lessons to economies and individual lifestyles. Engaging features such as 'Core Case Studies' and 'Connections' boxes demonstrate the relevance of issues and encourage critical thinking. Updated with new learning tools, the latest content, and an enhanced art program, this highly flexible book allows instructors to vary the order of chapters and sections within chapters to meet the needs of their courses.

About the Author

G. Tyler Miller has written 65 textbooks for introductory courses in environmental science, basic ecology, energy and environmental chemistry. Since 1975, his books have been the most widely used textbooks for environmental science in the United States and throughout the world. Translated into eight languages, they have been used by more than 3 million students. Dr. Miller has a professional background in chemistry, physics and ecology. He taught college for 20 years, developed one of the nation's first environmental studies programs and created an innovative interdisciplinary undergraduate science program before deciding to write environmental science textbooks full time in 1975. Now Dr. Miller is president of Earth Education and Research, which is devoted to improving environmental education. He has a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia and received two honorary doctoral degrees for his contributions to environmental education.

Scott Spoolman is a writer with more than 30 years of experience in educational publishing. He has worked with Tyler Miller since 2003 as a co-author on editions of LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE and SUSTAINING THE EARTH. With Norman Myers, he co-authored ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS: A MODULAR APPROACH. Spoolman has authored numerous books and articles in the fields of environmental science, geology and natural history, politics and business. In addition, he has worked as a consulting editor in the development of over 70 college and high school textbooks in fields of the natural and social sciences. He earned a master's degree in science journalism from the University of Minnesota. In his free time, Spoolman enjoys exploring the forests and waters of his native Wisconsin along with his family -- his wife, environmental educator Gail Martinelli, son Will and daughter Katie.

I received my rental text yesterday and I was surprised that it was brand-new! (First time renter here). I quickly read through the first chapter and it was surprisingly very interesting. I'm hoping the rest of the text is the same! It's also filled with beautiful photos, graphs, and illustrations making it nice to look at, too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle version is useless
Reviewed in the United States on 14 May 2017

DON'T BUY THE KINDLE VERSION!

I am 2/3 of the way through the semester and I've decided to rent the paperback. The Kindle version is useless for anything except simply reading text without taking notes.

The Kindle apps are clumsy. You can never fit a whole page on your screen (table or computer) unless you make the font very small. The bookmarking feature is clumsy. It's easier to just use little post-it flags and notes or take notes while you read a paperback or hardback version.

I should have switched to renting the actual book two months ago. For studying and learning the Kindle versions are a waste of time.
