MP : Environmental Science: A Global Concern with Online Learning Center (OLC) Password Card

Summary: Horrible.
Review: Any text that advises poverty-stricken Africans to use solar-powered stoves as opposed to wood-burning fires to cook their food in attempt to lower energy consumption has gone too far off the deep end as to be a suitable college source.

Too many typos, too opinionated in the wrong places, not opinionated enough in the right places, just horrible. Wretched book. And to think, my family spent over $100 on the package. Ack!

[Ask your prof to use one of the labs to research better textbooks if this is all he/she can come up with.]

Rating:
Summary: Well-researched and thoughtfully presented
Review: The authors obviously put a lot of work into making science accessible and interesting! The information in the book is up-to-date, and the approach is balanced. Great text!

Summary: Tree-hugger only
Review: The teacher who teaches this is an enviromentalist wacko and this book can be used solely for that purpose.
