Ace your environmental science class and get smart about the environment.

Environmental Science For Dummies is a straightforward guide to the interrelationships of the natural world and the role that humans play in the environment. This book tracks to a typical introductory environmental science curriculum at the college level―and is great as a supplement or study guide for AP Environmental Science, too. Uncover fascinating facts about the earth’s natural resources and the problems that arise when resources like air, water, and soil are contaminated by pollutants. If you’re in need of extra help for a class, considering a career in environmental science, or simply care about our planet and want to learn more about helping the environment, this friendly Dummies resource is a great place to start.

Environmental science is the study of Earth’s environment. To study the environment, scientists draw from many other disciplines, including chemistry, geography, economics, and everything in between. No wonder students new to environmental science often find themselves dizzy at the breadth of information needed to study and solve environmental problems.

Fortunately, you’ve found Environmental Science For Dummies! Regardless of whether you picked up this book to help you through a science class or to begin an independent exploration of environmental science, I hope it’s a useful reference for you, providing an introduction to the most important concepts and issues in modern environmental science.

I’ve written this book to cover as many environmental science concepts as possible, while at the same time helping you understand how these concepts apply to your life. If you’re already familiar with some of the topics explained in the book, perhaps this book will help renew your interest in environmental studies and sustainable living. If these topics are completely new to you, I hope it helps you realize that you can take action daily and make choices that affect your environment in a positive way.

A solid foundation in environmental science is essential for anyone looking for a career in the field―and is important knowledge for all of us as we work together to build a sustainable future.
