AQA ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AS/A LEVEL (ISBN:9781912190072)

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).
