This was the textbook for a Environmental Geology class I took and I actually read it cover to cover because it was so interesting. I thought the class, which seemed to be designed around the book as all the lectures went off of chapters from the book, was very interesting and was an excellent textbook.

I thought the class, which seemed to be designed around the book as all the lectures went off of chapters from the book, was very interesting and was an excellent textbook.

I learned a lot from reading it and it sparked my interest in environmental science. I love that this field, and this book, discuss not only the physical aspects of geology, but the cultural and social implications of geographic features. For example, it discussed Easter Island and the misuse of resources there that caused the civilization to resort to cannibalism. I also learned that there is evidence that Ancient Rome's fall may have been related to lead poisoning (they used lead in many of their everyday items and the upper class had water flowing through lead pipes into their homes). I love how connected geology to history and social issues. He also writes about how to keep yourself out of harm's way with regards to natural hazards, discussing the proper ways to react to natural disasters as well as how to escape from a rip current.I enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it. Although it is long, as textbooks usually are, I found all the information relevant and the writing interesting.

I think it is important to learn about environmental issues, particularly climate change, because we need to learn about the Earth in order to take better care of it. I think this was an excellent textbook and recommend it for anyone interested in an in depth exploration of environmental geology.

Introduction to Environmental Geology by Edward A. Keller Book Resume:

This text focuses on helping non-science majors develop an understanding of how geology and humanity interact. Ed Keller—the author who first defined the environmental geology curriculum—focuses on five fundamental concepts of environmental geology: Human Population Growth, Sustainability, Earth as a System, Hazardous Earth Processes, and Scientific Knowledge and Values. These concepts are introduced at the outset of the text, integrated throughout the text, and revisited at the end of each chapter. TheFifth Edition emphasizes currency, which is essential to this dynamic subject, and strengthens Keller's hallmark “Fundamental Concepts of Environmental Geology,” unifying the text's diverse topics while applying the concepts to real-world examples.
