Reader reviews for Environment

From the publisher

Covering the enormous environmental challenges facing our world today, this Third Edition helps readers think critically about these challenges and understand the concepts that underlie environmental problems. Rather than telling readers what to think, the book provides the information and tools they need to reach their own conclusions.

First line

Cargo-carrying ocean vessels carry ballast water from their ports of origin to increase their ships' stability in the open ocean.
