The text offers a solid foundation in the science and demonstrates the role that science can play in influencing personal, community and global environmental issues. The new edition has added New Frontiers discussions that emphasize the interaction between new scientific discoveries, ethics, and policy; and Where You Live activities that invite students to use primary data sources to explore environmental principles and issues in their local community.  A new chapter organization also improves connections between chapters and integrates key concepts with relevant environmental issues.

The textbook is closely integrated with MasteringEnvironmentalScience to support instructors and students using a wide variety of engaging assignments that incorporate videos, current events, and interactive activities.
