Environmental Science: A Need for Living Sustainably is appropriate for courses called Introduction to Environmental Science, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Environment and Society, Human Impact on the Environment, Resources and Environment, Sustainable Development or similar titles taught at the undergraduate level in two- and four-year colleges and universities.
Environmental Science: A Need for Living Sustainably offers an appealing and contemporary approach to understanding environmental science in today’s rapidly evolving global context. Captivating narrative stories, plentiful critical thinking and experiential activities, and compelling examples pulled from around the world complement solid coverage of key foundational concepts. Early chapters are structured around core environmental themes, ethics, matter, and energy to set the stage for the remainder of the book. Subsequent chapters efficiently address complex topics that are often covered over two or more chapters in the leading competitors. This fresh and up-to-date approach encourages students to focus on the main issues, enabling faculty to cover more content in less time while improving student learning retention.
