Living in the Environment

Living in the Environment, 18th Edition, by G. Tyler Miller and Scott Spoolman, is an introductory environmental science textbook developed in partnership with the National Geographic Society. The volume explores pressing environmental challenges and evaluates balanced approaches to potential solutions.

Using sustainability as its central unifying theme, the textbook frames major issues such as pollution and sustainable development around key ecological principles. A concept-centered organization helps readers understand complex environmental topics through clearly defined concepts.
