Synopsis

Planet Earth is the only planet we can all live on so we must look after it. If we are to manage it well, we must:

 

• study Earth to see how it works;
• understand how we rely on environmental resources and services for our survival;
• understand that human actions are reducing the ability of Earth to support us and the other species with which we share the planet;
• develop sustainable lifestyles.

 

To achieve the above we must study how the Earth and human society interact to gain a better understanding on which we can make better decisions. Environmental Science A level and this book aim to do just this.

This book provides a thorough introduction to Environmental Science and detailed coverage of the AQA A level specification (7446). It:

 

• provides clear explanations of key concepts and scientific processes and insights into environmental events and cycles;
• describes environmental resources and services, our reliance, exploitation and impact on these, and discusses how the environment is affected by human activities;
• explains and assesses the strategies that individuals, business, industry, governments, and other organisations can implement to manage, minimise and reverse the impact of human actions;
• supports students in their study of Environmental Science, helping to enhance their understanding and skills to succeed in their A level examinations.

 

This book has been approved by AQA.
