Available for the first time with Macmillan's new online learning tool, Achieve, Susan Karr's Environmental Science for a Changing World 4e uses an engaging, journalistic approach--real stories about real people--to show students how science works and how to think critically about environmental issues. Each module reads like a single, integrated Scientific American-style article with clear explanations of essential processes and concepts enhanced with beautifully designed infographics.

Emphasizing the interconnected nature of environmental geology and the multidimensional processes of the Earth, this highly anticipated new edition of Merritt's classic text provides a balanced approach to environmental issues and builds an informed student understanding with case studies, conceptual explanations, and relevant presentation of material. By far the most concise book for its course, it remains the only textbook to use an earth systems approach to exploring how the Earth works, the human impact on the environment, and the characteristics of different natural hazards.
