Princeton's study guide for AP Environmental Science is the best. Before buying this one, I considered Barron's and REA's. After taking a Barron's practice test, I realized Barron's is overly complex and their practice questions were not realistic. And REA's test contained too many trivial facts.
Princeton's AP Env Sci guide is split into 8 different "content" chapters: "Earth's Interdependent Systems", "The Inhabitants of PLanet Earth and Their Relationships", "Population Ecology", "Resource Utilization", "Energy", "Pollution", "Culture, Society and Environmental Quality" and "AP Environmental Science in the Lab". This guide does a good job of going into enough detail without overdoing it. And the author writes in a comprehensive style and doesn't fill the pages with corny jokes (a problem with many study guides out there). Overall, after reading this guide and taking a practice exam from the College Board site, I realized how much I've learned from this book alone. My teacher, although a nice guy, didn't teach much. So I was flustered before reading this, but Princeton really prepared me. Of course, some summaries didn't make sense to me so I had to review some things from the text book. All the Acts that need to be memorized (i.e. Clean Air Act, The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) are in here and the diagrams make the summaries easier to absorb. Although a few of practice questions at the end of the summaries can include subjects not "discussed" in the summaries, the answers can be implied from critical thinking or process of elimination. And these questions are similiar to real AP Environmental Science questions.
There are some flaws to this book though.
