内容説明
This full-colour, introductory environmental science text is known for being concise, conceptual and good value. The approach and reading level cover the basic concepts without overloading students with too much detail. The central theme throughout the text is interrelatedness. The authors identify major issues and give appropriate examples that illustrate the complex interactions that are characteristic of all environmental issues. - A new learning activity that involves the student in constructing a concept map has been added at the end of each chapter. This is designed to help students see how concepts and ideas are related. - As with previous editions, reviewers' suggestions are incorporated into the text, either through small changes in copy to improve clarity and accuracy, or by providing the most up-to-date information available. - Each Part Opener features a guest author's essay that describes an environmental issue in his own backyard. These essays help point out the different types of concerns developing in various areas.
