Living in the Environment: Principles, Connections, and Solutions (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac)

Book Description

Miller's LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT, 14th Edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date environmental science text on the market. It has the most balanced approach to environmental science instruction, with bias-free comparative diagrams throughout and a focus on prevention of and solutions to environmental problems. Tyler Miller is the most successful author in academic writing on environmental science because of his attention to currency, trend setting presentation of content, ability to predict student and instructor needs for new and different supplements, and his ability to retain the hallmarks on which instructors have come to depend. The content in the 14th edition of LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT is everything you have come to expect and more. In this edition, the author has added the "How Would You Vote?" feature, which is an application of environmental science-related topics in the news. Students apply their environmental science knowledge from the book to a Web activity, which helps them investigate environmental science issues in a structured manner. They then cast their votes on the Web. Results are then tallied. Also found at the Miller website is the much used "Updates on Line." Updated twice a year with articles from InfoTrac College Edition service, CNNÂ® Today Video Clips, and Web links, instructors can seamlessly incorporate the most current news articles and research findings to support text presentations. This is a time saver for instructors and part-time teachers who can quickly determine what ancillary materials they want to utilize in just minutes. As with the last edition, this text is packaged with a free Student CD-ROM entitled "Interactive Concepts in Environmental Science." Organized by chapter, the CD gives students links to relevant resources, narrated animations, interactive figures, and prompts to review material and test themselves.

made me angry.......2007-09-23

I have not read the whole book yet, and I have the 2004 edition (#13). I truly hope the newer editions are better. This is a review of Chapter 1 only.

The chapter annoyed me. It even made me angry. It is milquetoast, unable to just say we, the human population, is depleting too many resources to be sustainable. Adding the statement "other analysts do not believe we are living unsustainably" to an Environmental Science textbook is like saying "some people believe the earth is flat," in a geography textbook, or, something that unfortunately seems to happen in some biology textbooks these days, "evolution is just one theory, there are other theories as well, some experts believe god created all life on earth as it is today." A similar statement was made in part 1-6, "Is our Present Course Sustainable?." "Are things getting better or worse? Experts disagree..." Experts paid by huge resource exploiting corporations? Experts who like to bury their heads in the sand?

There were a number of interesting facts in the text that the general statements did not reflect. These inconsistencies really got to me. It seemed as if it were trying to write about what was outside the box but writing from inside the box. I particularly disliked the sentence that included: "... how much more we need to do to help make the earth more sustainable..." Wait a second, if you were writing from a viewpoint that "Nature does not exist just for us and we only think we are in charge. We need the earth, but the earth does not need us," how can you talk about "making the earth more sustainable?" The earth is what it is and is bountiful, it is our resource exploitation and pollution that are not sustainable for human survival.

I found the first part of the side bar "Free-Access Resources and the Tragedy of the Commons" quite interesting, but the second part on solutions seemed to missing a lot. The first of the two listed solutions was: "Use free-access resources at rates well below their estimated sustainable yields or overload limits by reducing population, regulating access, or both." It then went on to say how this is rarely used since it means we would have to establish and enforce rules and regulations, and it is hard to figure out a sustained yield. But it doesn't mention that educating people about these resources that they take for granted could go along way. Also not mentioned is that regulating the devices that allow people to exploit these resources (such as clean air, the atmosphere, water and wildlife) so easily and unthinkingly would be much easier than regulating their actual use. A lot of the resources mentioned are being depleted by pollution not use in a strict sense. The other solution listed is: "Convert free-access resources to private ownership," since if someone owns something they will protect it, has so many problems which are not addressed. The books lists the problem with this solution as being that "it is not practical for global common resources (such as the atmosphere, the open ocean, most wildlife species, and migratory birds) that can not be divided up and converted to private property." What about the fact that people do exploit the resources that they do own, and the fact that it would no doubt cause even more problems with poverty, and sharing things in common is what brings people together as a community (e.g. they all go to the park and see each other), and so many other problems that I get overwhelmed just thinking about them.

There was a lot of talk about overpopulation as a major problem, but not so much talk about overconsumption by certain parts of the population, even though there were sections on this. There was a section on ecological foot print and how the people in the USA have such a large one, but this didn't seem to get integrated into the text. There was also the statement: "Thus poor parents in a developing country would need 70 - 200 children to have the same lifetime resource consumption as 2 children in a typical U.S. family," but there was a lot of emphasis on population as a major problem and how in underdeveloped countries populations are growing as such a fast rate, when slight rises in US middle/upper class populations can make so much more difference. It felt to me like too much blame poor people in poor countries when it is people in the US and corporations based in the US enriching people in the US who are causing so much of the problems, even exporting our TV and advertisements to other countries which makes people want our unsustainable lifestyle.

There was also no mention of empowering women as a major tool to deal with high birthrates. There is overwhelming evidence that when you empower women to choses when they want to get pregnant and give them education and job skills birthrates do down. The paragraph on why poor people have so many children basically says the reason is to have their labor, with no mention of lack of birth control or power of women to make choices. It also seemed racist and disrespectful.

While we are on the subject of racist and disrespectful, what is with the developed and developing labels? The societies in all countries are developed, it is just industrial manufacturing and certain kinds of resource exploitation that are not as developed.

One last perhaps picky complaint. Figure 1-13 mentions "Traditional decision making" and "traditional societies" but it really does not mean traditional, it means modern industrialized hierarchical societies. This may seem picky but I feel it really does matter, we need to keep remembering that these societies we are living in are new, not traditional. True traditional societies did merge social, economic and environmental issues when making decisions, in fact, they did so in all aspects of living their lives. What we need to do is get back to them.

Policical retoric and not science.......2007-04-29

The state of Washington mails each registered voter a "Voter's Pamphlet" with statements for and against each initiative and candidate.

This book has the same format as a page for initiative X complete with rebuttals, but no page against initiative X.

This is completely one sided political rhetoric.

Why are high school students being given 815 pages of brainwashing?

I can understand some political extremest writing this book, but why would the Mercer Island school district buy this book?

I know science.
This ain't science.
Maybe political science.

Good Practical Book.......2007-04-20

Being a chemistry student, I've read this book as part of my classes. I've got to say, it's an excellent book, definitely worth reading by itself. It offers concrete, pragmatic solutions and an unbiased collection of scientificly supported descriptions of environmental problems and how to deal with them. It's also almost completely devoid of gloom and doom, as opposed to some of today's green movements. Very much recommended.

Schoolbook review.......2007-01-03

I found this book to be fairly well written with only a little bias toward evolution, an unproven scientific theory.

Reviews, anyone?.......2006-01-18

This is an excellent textbook, one that I have used in two of my Environmental Science classes (namely, Environmental Problems of Man [Bio 11], and Energy for the Future [Envi Sci 1].) While not completely without bias (which is mostly subtle, and not totally incorrect), the book offers a solid introduction to many environmental issues. The introduction chapter of the textbook states that environmental science is interdisciplinary, and the book is laid out accordingly. Chapters run the gamut from biology, chemisty, simple physics, and pure ecological common sense. An excellent purchase for any serious scientist and/or conscientious environmentalist.

Book Description

Miller's LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT is the book that defined the Environmental Science course. This significantly revised Twelfth edition incorporates the most talked-about and notable developments today, reflecting major shifts in environmental education and environmental policy.

Customer Reviews:

The best of the introductory environmental science texts.......2004-07-11

Of the half-a-dozen environmental science texts I read in preparing a 10th grade environmental science block, this is by far the best written, with the clearest figures. Highly recommended.

Fantastic, educational reading+Dantes exam material.......2004-02-10

I used this book for the DANTES test: Environment and Humanity, it covered everything that was asked on the test and I believe I passed because of it's great detail. It also changed the way I look at the world and how we treat it. Really really educational, I'm glad I was made to read it.

AWESOME TEXT!!.......2003-04-22

This is an awesome text especially for AP students and level 1 and 2 college students! It helped me score a 5 on the AP exam and test out of my first two semesters of Environmental Science.

superb ecology intro...........2001-11-11

....and a clearly written blend of ecology, systems theory, and environmental science, with interesting Enrichment sections and Guest Editorials by a variety of influential figures.

I like the "liberal" slant--in other words, the call to quit being the world's biggest consumer and polluter and create a sustainable society with more realistic values than the dream of unlimited expansion--but then I can't think of anything more insane than allowing the world to overheat so the oil empires can go on making money.

Anyway, major sections covered include:

Humans and Nature: An Overview
Some Concepts of Ecology
Population, Resources, and Pollution
Environment and Society

I'm glad I bought mine used; the publisher is nuts for charging this much money for a textbook, no matter how well-crafted.

Good Environmental Biology Text.......2000-04-29

I used this text book in my Environmental Biology course. I was prepared for another awful Science text book. The author of this book does a good job covering all the topics necessary. It is written well. The chapters are long, but that is because he doesn't leave out important material. It was expensive, but that's how text books are. And the cover is a nice bonus.

Customer Reviews:

Strunk would approve.......2007-04-10

This well organized grammar is what it purports to be. Getting a high school student to use it is the trick. To my mind, it doesn't replace "Strunk and White," The Elements of Style: The Original Edition but it does the job.

Good resource!.......2006-08-19

Good resource for writing! Easy to locate topics and easy to understand!

NOT The Only Grammar Book You'll Ever Need.......2006-08-07

If you want information on how/when to use reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, etc), and when not to use them, this book won't help you whatsoever. It explains what reflexive pronouns are, but says nothing about usage.

Great for young and old.......2005-10-29

Being a native English speaker, my biggest concern about English grammar was during college when I was ensuring that my papers, exams, etc., were good enough to help me pull good grades. It wasn't until I began to pick up other languages, especially Spanish, that English grammar grabbed my attention.

Learning and teaching a foreign language, ironically, forces you to understand your native tongue better; if for no reason other than comparison's sake. I've occasionally used English grammar guides and books, but found Susan Thurman's to be surprisingly approachable. Grammar books often scare people away who are already nervous about learning the nuts and bolts of a language; not this book, though. Two of my favorite sections are, one, where Thurman compares/contrasts commonly confused words (then/than, etc.) and, two, her explanations about punctuation. Her examples are down-to-earth and drive each point home. Plus, it's small and easily portable. For these reasons, I rate this book 5 stars. If you are looking for a desktop reference for more professional needs, this MIGHT not be for you. However, I believe it to be sufficient for 90-95% of the time, depending on your needs. As I add more reviews, I will add one for a complete (though often unnecessary) book on grammar.

Book Title is Correct........2004-12-08

I agree with the book's title. This book just worked out fine for my needs. The language Susan used in this book is simple and easy-to-follow. The example sentences are good and this book covers many common written-English gotchas.

Customer Reviews:

Well-written, articulate; slightly unrealistic.......2005-12-03

Flour Babies is the story of fatherless Simon Martin, a teenager attending an unnamed boys' school in an unnamed part of what is obviously urban Britain. Owing to a series of unfortunate events (involving a clerical error), Simon is chosen to pick which activity his class will be doing for the Science Fair. The class lands up with Flour Babies, a parent-child experiment in which each boy in the class is entrusted with a six-pound bag of flour for four weeks.
That's the set-up for this bizarre tale.
I don't believe that books have age ranges per se, but I would definitely not recommend this book to young children or older teenagers. Young children will likely struggle with the range of vocabulary used (Anne Fine casually drops words such as "inoculation", "industriously" "maligned" and "colleague") and the discussions about parenthood scattered throughout the novel. Meanwhile, older teenagers may feel patronised by Simon's unrealistic musings on the grit and strength of teachers and parents; his contrived change from clumsy thug to sensitive, mature young man; and the way the characters speak. This in particular was odd.
To illustrate the unrealistic quality of the dialogue, here is a quotation from p56 (my edition):
"I thought my mother was a real MEANIE for not looking after [the flour baby] for a MEASLY two hours while I did my football. After all, she's had enough practise looking after people. She's looked after me for 122,650 hours, if Foster's calculator works all right".
In the book, Simon and his friends refer to geeks as "ear'oles" (?) sensitive people as "major wallies", and elderly ladies as "interfering old trouts". This bizarre slang reminds me of Just William and his contemporaries, although there is no indication in the book that the story is set in the Just William era (1920s to 1950s). Why Anne Fine chose to make the characters speak in the colourful, 50's-boarding-school way that they do is not clear - perhaps the use of slang stems from her love of Just William.
Otherwise, I enjoyed this story. Mainly the humour consists of caustic comments by the class teacher, and conversations between the boys and the staff. (One of the funniest bits of the book is when Sajid Mahmoud explains why he scraped his meat stew, made in Food Technology, into the bin - after three years he's still angry about the teacher's reaction to that.)This book would suit a person with an ear for dialogue and an interest in books about family relationships.

Okay.......2005-08-06

Flour Babies by Anne Fine was an okay book to read, but like other people say, I have read better, and anyways I rate this book four stars. It's about this boy named Simon Martin. He is in this class, and the teacher assigns them this assignment in which they have to take care of these sacks of flour as if they were babies for twenty-one days. He soon find out that the task indeed is quite hard. Taking care of the 'baby' makes him think about his own personal life, and why did his father leave the family when he was only six weeks old.

Take one fatherless boy. Add one sack of flour. Stir........2004-08-03

Books concerning teenage fatherhood have blossomed over the last few years. I'm not certain what the cause of this trend is, and I don't know where it will end. Certainly some fabulous books have resulted, of course. The multi-award winning, "First Part Last", is probably the best known of these adolescent daddy stories. Lesser known, and far cheerier, is the delightful "Flour Babies" by Anne Fine. Taking a concept that has been used in everything from an episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to an episode of "The Cosby Show", this story concentrates on a boy, his adorable sack of flour, and his attempts to come to terms with his own absentee pop.

When Mr. Cassidy gets stuck with the worst possible students in Room 8 he isn't surprised. When he is stuck giving these same students a lame project for the upcoming Science Fair he remains unsurprised. But when the project turns out to concern Flour Babies, he's livid. In this project the teacher must hand a six-pound burlap sack of flour to each of his students. Over the course of several weeks these lagabout kids must take extra special care of their new babies. Of course, Cassidy is convinced that this project will only lead to flour exploding in his classroom at the hands of his rowdy kids. When the biggest toughest underachiever of them all, Simon Martin, misunderstands and thinks that the end of the project will result in a grand flour baby kick-off, he throws himself headlong into his baby's care. As time goes by, Simon begins to care deeply for his baby and his thoughts turn to the father that abandoned him when he was a babe. Through his own slow thought processes, Simon learns to understand what fatherhood entails and what it truly means to be unencumbered and young.

This book was originally published in Britain and as such I initially assumed that it took place overseas. But about the time Simon's mom comments that his deadbeat dad took off for Chicago when he left, I came to the horrific realization that this book was trying to be American. Trying and failing. I mean, honestly. This is the kind of book that contains sentences like, "his dad was a duffer" and has characters that say "Sir" all the time and have names like "Simon". Also, the book kind of decomposes towards the end. While the storyline up until the last 2 or so chapters has been fine, suddenly Anne Fine tacks on a Mel Brooks type of let's-make-everything-crazy finale. You've got a previously sympathetic teacher giving a ridiculous (and increasing) number of detentions, a crazy escape via running along the tops of the school's desks, and a grand finish of thick floating flour everywhere. I only wish the writing could have kept up, but it didn't.

Which isn't to say there isn't a lot going for this book. Admittedly, the students keep breaking into bizarre non-teenage sentences from time to time but they're enjoyable characters. For his part, Simon is a kind of relief to read. I was convinced that this book would turn out to be another tale in which a wise but crazy teacher gives his tough students a true challenge and at the end they all beat the science nerds because someone actually took the time to believe in them. Not a chance. Simon Martin is a good example of that. He's unrepentantly thick at the beginning of the book and though he's worked out some issues by the end, he's unrepentantly thick there too. And finally, the biggest and best reason to read this book; it's darned funny. I think I was officially won over when the teacher watching the detention students found herself hoping that Simon would entertain her that day with the Bloodied Tongue. This is where Simon empties surreptitiously an entire cartridge of red ink from a pen onto his tongue and then, "let this gory-looking monstrosity out of his mouth for the whole rest of the detention, rendering her incapable of eating her sandwich but amusing her mightily". Any book that uses humor correctly has my love already.

"Flour Babies" apparently won the British Carnegie Medal (which corresponds to our Newbery Medal over here stateside) which surprises me a little. I think it's great but I wouldn't necessarily cover it with awards. Still, if you're looking for a fun read that's not only amusing but also great to pick up and reread, I think this book's for you. Three cheers for those little sack o' flours and the boys that love 'em so.

Katie Caines Review.......2004-03-26

4c`s science project is on Flour Babies.The pupils have to look after a Flour Babie for 4 weeks and soon Simon Martin takes a liking to his baby.However the main thing on his mind is the Glourious Expiosion at the end of the project.

Simon Martin gets all serious about looking after his Flour Baby taking it everywhere and everyone thinks he is mad.They are only looking after their Flour Babies waiting for the time to come for the Glourious Explosion.

My favourite part was the ending because Simon Martin did not listen to anyone and just had the most exciting Explosion on his own in the middle of the hall.

i really enjoyed this book but i have read better

Does not transalate.......2003-12-30

I think the biggest problem I had with this book was the fact that my copy was published in the US, and the publishers, or possibly the author herself, made a few stupid changes to make the story take place here. The kids do not speak like American kids and the problems of the American delinquent are badly missed in the story. My other problems with this book, ones that should be problems on either side of the pond, are the timelines in the flashback scenes, and the round and overly aloof way everyone's problems are solved or forgotten in favor of a dramatic and prophetic conclusion. It's a good idea, it just not a great execution.
