What’s New in the 7th Edition?

his 7th edition includes    many    new and important   changes:

■ The   entire  book    has been    updated to  reflect new environmental

developments    and laws.

■ Great care    was taken   to  correlate   the type    and format  of  the questions   and

answer  explanations    found   on  actual  AP  Environmental   Science exams

over    the last    20  years   to  the present with    the information presented   in  this

edition.    For example,    there   are now many    more    PROS    and CONS

throughout  the book.

■ Many  of  the Free-Response   Questions   (FRQs), and their   respective

answer  explanations,   have    been    updated to  better  reflect the current AP

Environmental   Science (APES)  test.

■ All   of  the review  chapters    have    been    completely  reorganized to  present

the content in  a   more    logical and consistent  manner.
