Coverage includes international treaties, movements, trusts and organisations, as well as biographies of key figures in environmental science. It also boasts wide coverage of terms relating to rural/community development and participation, an area with an increasingly key role in managing the environment and biodiversity.

    AS SHOWN/DESCRIBED. IT IS A GREAT BOOK WITH COLORED INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN. I ONLY SUGGEST THAT ALL SELLERS OF BOOKS WOULD SHOW 2-3 PHOTOS OF ITS CONTENTS. IN DOING SO IT MAY HELP WITH ANY QUESTIONS BUYERS MIGHT HAVE. SECURED PKG, SUPER FAST FREE SHIPPING, SUPER FAST DELIVERY. BOUGHT ITEM, IMMEDIATELY PAID FOR IT, WAS SHIPPED AND DELIVERED WITHIN 24 HOURS VIA AMAZON! I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS OUTSTANDING SELLER! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

    Item was exactly as described and packaged to protect it. Seller’s pricing was spot on and when I received it, it was in good condition. Seller actually messaged me when they shipped it (I really appreciated that). Overall I’m happy doing business with them!

    Very good customer service. Postage was very quick. Unfortunately the packaging wasn't enough to protect the item from a heavy blow and it arrived damaged, but zuber was responsive to the situation. Obviously I'd prefer if nothing had gone wrong, but the real test of customer service is how someone responds when things DO go wrong, and I've got nothing but praise for Katie's communication with me.
