SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Biological Environmental Science is an introductory textbook for undergraduate students who desire a one semester course or, alternatively, a 'springboard course' for advanced environmental offerings. This book features timely issues such as global warming, energy, air, ground and water pollutions, population growth, species extinction and environmental policy."--Jacket.
