Although there are many books on environmental science and environmental geology, there are no comprehensive textbooks that deal specifically with pollution and pollution disasters at the appropriate undergraduate level, particularly engaging introductory and non-science majors for better applicability and understanding of the natural disaster science. The proposed textbook is a modern approach to teaching introductory and non-science major students about the importance of the Earth’s environment to human survival. The book will focus on current environmental issues and incorporate the importance of Earth science in their understanding and solution. The organization and presentation of the book will be focused on engaging these primarily non-science science majors using a new approach in presentation.

Some key highlights of this textbook include:

• Integration of geology into environmental concerns rather than the other way around
• Discussion of numerous case studies so non-science majors are more engaged by stories
• Focusing on actual environmental disasters as exciting case studies, that intrigues students
• Integration of science into case studies so students learn science
• Inclusion of methods of the environmental industry so students understand applied aspects
• Explanation of how environmental issues relate to other industries and areas of concern such as real estate, construction, insurance, waste disposal and manufacturing among others
• Inclusion of environmental justice to be more pertinent to current events and public concerns
• Usable in either Environmental Geology or newly developing courses in Environmental Disasters

Polluted Earth: The Science of the Earth’s Environment is a valuable resource for introductory level undergraduate students taking courses on environmental disaster, pollution, and sustainability.
