Environmental Health...sans Science by H. R. Barrionuevo

1 Stars
August 26, 2008
I should not write the following, as I want to sell my copy, but here it goes: this book is, seemingly, written for a general "non-science" audience, or for (early) high school students. CERTAINLY, it is not appropriate for a university course. It is overtly simplified and unlike many books written for a general audience (i.e., science journalism), the prose in the book is horribly dull. EXTREMELY limited for a college public health course.
