Rezension

"I can strongly recommend this book as a basic text for all thosewho wish to gain an initial understanding of the chemistry of theEarth and the way humans are interacting with their environment."
Peter O Neill, University of Plymouth, Progress in PhysicalGeography, June 2005

"Overall, this book is a valuable addition to reading lists forstudents taking undergraduate level courses primarily inEnvironmental Science, but also in Physical Geography, EarthSciences and Environmental Chemistry. It is very readable and wellwritten."
International Journal of Climatology, April 2006

"If I had to recommend one single textbook for courses inenvironmental science to students and all those interested fromother fields, it would be this one. It is an excellent introductoryreader and learning aid."
Environmental Biology
