More about the book

One of the major goals of environmental science is to understand and solve environmental problems. To accomplish this goal, environmental scientists study two main types of interactions between humans and their environment. One area of study focuses on how we use natural resources, such as water and plants. The other area of study focuses on how our actions alter our environment. To study these interactions, environmental scientists must gather and analyze information from many different disciplines. - p. 6.
