I have used this book in my Environmental Biology classes at Stanly Community College. It is well written, but at a reading level not beyond that of most high school graduates. It covers basic knowledge and current environmental problems. I really enjoy the Global Perspective sections. I highly recommend this book as a beginning environmental science book.

This book is a fascinating exspose of Heinrich Himmlers
youth. Padfeilds biography
shows Himmler to be Nationalist orientated from an early age and, at times, pedantic but in this book Smith gives a much sharper picture of Himmler as a young man. From his busy-body tendancies to his sexual insecurity, this book really brings the future Reichsfuehrer-SS to life. To those that are looking for demonisation of himmler, look elsewhere. The main point that comes across from this book is how "normal" he really was. A must for all those interested in the history of the Third Reich.

A hardcover with over 290 some pages full of artwork. From the bells found in tombs to more modern prints done in the early 20th century, this book is a must for either art lovers or lovers of Japan or both! The book not only shows you how the art changed, but how the lives of the Japanese people changed. Their ways of life ANd their beliefs. See prints and paintings and statues of street scenes and nobles and visions of hell. You can't get a better book and there are used ones for sale! BUY IT!

I had the pleasure to read this book in order to complete a requirement in my Soviet Political development class in college. The book did take some time to read but was well worth the time. Bradley beautifully put together rare information on the international intelligence trading of WWII. Based on information gleamed by both sides the Allies were able to position troop movements and attacks in order to better attack and defeat the armies of Nazi Germany. Suprisingly it lacks the "necessary" chapter on the Jewish extermination camps. All toghether the book is well written and proves an insight on a rarely discussed, or even known about, topic in our nations history.

The teacher who teaches this is an enviromentalist wacko and this book can be used solely for that purpose.

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!

This text is a clearly defined study of environmental science. It is full of content and each chapter offers extensional learning through the use open-ended presentations of current events applicable to the content. There are loads of interesting topics and there are also references to Online sources for additional information. This is an excellent book for the study of environmental science.
