This approach has proven so effective, that instructors using the book report a dramatic increase in the number of students who read the assignments and come to class ready to participate.This updated new edition features new stories, updated scientific coverage, and enhanced Infographics—the book’s signature visual study tool that combines memorable images, step-by-step callouts, and now, questions that foster scientific literacy. This edition also has its own dedicated version of Macmillan’s online course space, LaunchPad, which is filled with Video exercises, animations, graphing exercises, and assessments, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing that help students apply the science, debunk misconceptions, and prepare for exams.

Very convenient to use the e-book. The last time I used an e-book for school it was so-so. But now you can copy and paste for note taking, also highlight. Easy to find things. Really happy with the way that /Kindle has responded to feedback. The book itself, fine. A bit cluttered, but the chapters are small and focused. There was an effort to keep the material interesting.
This book, Scientific American Environment Science for a Changing World, has been one of the most informative, enlightening, eye opening, mouth dropping, reading experiences in my life. This is not an exaggeration by any means. So much has been done to 'our' planet with unintentional, yet disregarded results. Many of the inhabitants who live here on Earth suffer dearly while others go about their happy go lucky lifestyles without a clue as to what is really going on across a sea, river, ocean and/or continent. It has opened my eyes and put tears in them. This book should be a required reading for all students and all people. Thank you.
Bought Kindle version and great book but only available up to 25 chapters. You need to access LaunchPad (requires access code which doesn't come with Kindle version) for chapters 26 through 30. No mention of this in product description.
This is by far one of the best text books I have ever run across. It lays everything out well and relates the topic of the chapter to a relevant story to help carry what might otherwise be very dry contents.
Fast shipping. Wasn't too keen on the cover saying "complimentary copy not for sale". Hopeful it won't cause an issue for me in the future.
Awesome. I got good value of it anyway. Buy in your own risk. Renting is better. Thanks you .ðalright. That's it
Just what I needed for my environmental science class!
Loved it so much I bought it after my rental was due
