    About this ebook

    I Know About Environmental Science is designed to introduce someone, briefly, to the growing field of environmental science. It allows a person to research and do experiments in the fields of environmental science to develop an understanding of the field and all it has to offer. It helps to nurture an understanding of the need to take care of and protect our natural resources. At the end of the day too, it is a fun guide to go through.

    The I Know About... series is designed to give people a brief glimpse of the depth that can be taken in a wide variety of topics. They can help you gain new knowledge to prepare you for camping in the woods, saving a persons life, or knowing what someone is talking about when they want to discuss random topics that you normally would have no knowledge of. They can help you explore potential careers, making your decisions more informed. In all, they are full of little "nuggets" we hope you can enjoy.
