There is more to "Environment, 4e" by Raven and Berg than what you see in this text. An enhanced book-specific Web site will help you further examine critical environmental issues. The Web site offers a variety of activities to help you succeed in your course and additional tools that will help you make environmentally responsible choices. Online resources include: Environmental Debates provide the opportunity to learn about two sides of a contentious issue affecting the environment; Activity Links identify the most useful Internet links related to the environment and present short exercises that invite you to use these links to increase your understanding of the material; Take a Stand activities encourage you to think critically and carefully weigh the short - and long-term advantages and disadvantages of a particular position relating to an environmental situation; Research Projects provide you with specific suggestions for topics, reading materials, research techniques, and activities; and Case Studies highlight key issues in environmental science and lead you to related Web sites for further information.
It also features: How to Make a Difference shows how to get involved in environmental issues and lists environmental organizations that you can join; Student Lounge offers valuable study tips and writing tips that will help you get a better grade; Quizzes and Essays test your understanding of each chapter with multiple-choice, true/false questions, and short-answer essay questions. You can email your answers and responses directly to your instructor.
