Features: This book is one of the achievements of the "Research on Establishing a Basic Theoretical System and Optimizing the Curriculum System for Environmental Science" project, a key project of the Ministry of Education's teaching reform and development plan in the early 21st century, and is a national-level planning textbook for the 11th Five-Year Plan. The authors have long been engaged in basic theoretical research and teaching practice in environmental science. The authors believe that the task of science is to reveal objective laws, and the task of environmental science is to reveal the basic laws of human-environment interaction. This book summarizes the basic laws of the environment as environmental diversity, harmony between humans and the environment, rules and laws, and the five-laws synergy, and proposes four basic principles of environmental science based on this. This book incorporates the research achievements of environmental science in recent decades, taking the revelation of the basic laws of the environment as the main line, and elaborates on the interaction between humans and the environment from aspects such as population and environment, atmospheric environment, water environment, soil environment, physical environment, biological environment, human settlements, landscape environment, and sustainable development. This book can be used as a textbook for basic courses in environmental science at colleges and universities, as a textbook for environmental education courses for non-environmental majors, and as a reading material for a broad audience to understand the basic knowledge of environmental science.
