"This book in the quiz series focuses on the field of environment, and seeks to equip the readers with an exhaustive, up-to-date book which concentrates on the various environmental issues and knowledge about this field in general. It includes questions based on the various processes sustaining the environment, the numerous changes taking place within it that have attracted attention and concern, and the eminent scientists working in the field. The emphasis is on the numerous issues which have prompted concern and action, and the latest in this regard, global warming, has been covered comprehensively.

The book now only fosters increased knowledge about the environment, but also encourages the readers to engage themselves in mitigating the problems related to it. The combination of quizzing and the environment should serve to make the book a stress-free, interesting mode of knowledge on the environment, and it is hoped that the readers find this true. Any suggestions to improve upon the content of the book is highly welcome." (jacket)
