There is a new textbook in Environmental Science that has come out in 2011 by Friedland et al.: "Environmental Science: Foundations and Applications"
This book is unique in that it emphasizes critical thinking and quantitative reasoning, takes a balanced approach to environmental issues, and inspires students with the progress of environmental science instead of completely depressing them with gloom and doom. Armed with a solid understanding of the science, students are objectively presented with the most current data on environmental topics and allowed to draw their own conclusions.
