From the reviews: "This book fills an important niche as a text for introductory courses on environmental management in a number of disciplines ... . To aid student learning, each of the chapters is preceded by a list of key questions and an abstract. There is a study guide at the end of each chapter comprising a chapter summary and discussion questions. The list of references at the end of each chapter provides a good guide to recent literature."
