The book was in good condition when received. It was used as the description indicated it was. It was the exact book I needed for my college class.There was no online code included. I did not need one for the class so this was no problem. I included this note as often I find myself searching to see if it is or is not included with textbooks.
We purchased this for a college student who loves any thing or book the deals with the environment. She loves this book, I am sure we will be looking for other books on . We will be purchasing more. Thank you
This has been my go to reference book for ecology for 40 years since my first Human Ecology class in 1974 (first edition). It is not only accurate and informative but inspirational. This book was and still is one of the most important books on my library shelf.Easy to understand ecological principles are illustrated throughout with charts, graphs, photos, side bars. Thank you G. Tyler Miller for all your years of dedication and scholarly achievement.You have certainly helped this planet and created awareness of our intimate connection and dependence on and with nature and all the earth system.Considering the environmental crisis we now find ourselves in and the relative lack of meaningful reporting in the popular media, this book and a class around it should be a mandatory course and reading for all high school kids in America!Teri Underwood, RD, MS, CDFounder, Sustainable Diets[...]
Excellent environmental studies book. However most recent edition (since the collaboration with Cengage) does not have the punch of earlier editions. It concedes too much to living with pollution, less than clean water and such.
I was able to rent this book for class rather than pay $250-$300 like some other students did. I was also able to rent the book for the time I needed. When class is over, I'll mail it back.
Clear, concise and the information I need to know for the courses, as well as, in depth information about the environment that I personally want to know..
I like the rental aspect. Book is ok but Its not my ideal topic it is for a course I have to take to get my degree
loved the textbook. it was used to teach an environmental studies class.
