Reviews
'This would be a good textbook for an experiential learning course or a helpful project guide. Institutions with environmental science teaching programs would be especially well advised to acquire the volume, and it may also be of interest to general readers and advanced homeschoolers ... Highly recommended.' R. C. Hedreen, Choice Magazine
'a valuable accessory resource for both upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in ecological or environmental science' Christopher J. Whelan, The Quarterly Review of Biology
