It is an expression
to call a book or writing “the textbook version”. It means in-depth analysis of
the subject based only on facts. That is why reading a textbook about some
serious subjects that may keep future life on earth in suspense, due to nuclear
or environmental dangers, is the best way to get a clear understanding of the
problem. A text book titled “Contemporary Environmental Issues” written by Professor
Michael C. Slattery is one of such books. This book explores every
environmental issue facing us in the twenty first century, and discusses it
from human aspect and scientific view point. Although it contains a few
formulas and parameters, it is easily readable by a lay person. From the first
page, it creates curiosity about the subject being discussed.
