    Daniel Botkin is a scientist who studies life from a planetary perspective, a biologist who has helped solve major environmental issues, and a writer about nature. Well-known for his scientific contributions in ecology and environment, he has also worked as a professional journalist and has degrees in physics, biology, and literature. A Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Daniel's books and lectures show how our cultural legacy often dominates what we believe to be scientific solutions.

    In addition to his career as an ecologist, Dr. Botkin has maintained a lifelong interest in folklore and folkmusic, serving on the board of directors of the Folklife Center of the Library of Congress from 2004 to 2010. “There is a connection,” Botkin explains of the seemingly disparate worlds. “For starters, a lot of what is said about nature is folklore, not science.”

I stumbled upon this book as a resource while teaching a high school internship for a conservation organization, and was so enthralled with it, I bought my own copy. Awesome critical thinking practices and does a great job providing well rounded views and examples of solutions for really big issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great textbook

I purchased this book a few months ago, as a means of self studying for the AP Environmental Science exam. So far, this book has proved to be excellent in successfully learning the material, and emphasizes the everlasting dispute between science and values. I initially wanted to only take this test for some easy college credit; however, Environmental Science has now become a very interesting subject for me thanks to this amazing book. Through great pictures and maps, the reader can more thoroughly comprehend the material. I definately give this book 5 stars, as it is greatly written and has made me far more interested in the subject.

I am using this book for a class in college and it is extremely informative so far (after reading about 6 of the chapters), has many ways to look at the information and issues surrounding it, and also maintains the central theme that is key in environmental science: the relationship between science and values.

I really like it and will be keeping the book instead of selling it off to someone else.
