Purchased as a gift
I purchased this book as a gift for my sister-in-law who is studying for her Environmental Science degree.
Given that the book was not for me I can only review the basics.

I have given the book 4 stars purely because I cannot confirm the adequacy of it's content, though it appears very good to the layman's eye:

- Nice, strong binding.
- Attractive and well presented.
- Perfect palm size
- Appears very thorough in content
- Great price

I'm happy with my purchase - and so was my S.I.L.
