This innovative new text uses a distinctive combination of words, illustrations and photographs to convey information about environmental science in a dynamic way. Relying heavily on art, photographs and videos, this book is especially designed for visual learners.
When you open this page we ask eCampus, Amazon, Knetbooks, BiggerBooks, VitalSource and RedShelf for their current prices on ISBN 9780470304808 and sort every offer by its total with shipping. Rental rows show the term (semester, quarter or short term) and that term goes with you to the store's cart, and eBook rows link straight to the 180-day or no-expiry option you picked. Prices are rechecked at least every 30 minutes, so confirm the total at checkout.
