It is a workbook and not what I was attempting to order. I expected a reading/learning media. This is only for use in classroom setting.

This revision must have been specially produced just to include all the anti-Bush rhetoric. In nearly every chapter, responsibility for the current state of the environment is laid squarly on President Bush’s administration.
In addition, there are no references given for any of the information presented in the book. As a student, we are expected to take this author’s word for it that everything he has presented is true and accurate, and that he is simply a repository for all of this accurate information. In fact, the lack of references is absolutely striking when you consider this is a textbook that is supposedly presenting facts. The only references given are those for photo credits.
Unfit as a college textbook.

I was very impressed by the speedy delivery of this book! I had emailed the seller with my concerns on getting the book soon enough and I was assured there wouldn’t be a problem and there wasn’t. I was very impressed with the service!

Some legitimate ideas are indeed presented here- but with a thick left spin that makes it hard to see the truth- if there is any- in what the author is trying to get across. Dissapointing, considering its reputation as a good book to learn from.
