Environmental Science (Cunningham)
©2007
Hardcover
Table Of Contents
Environmental Science: A Global Concern is a comprehensive presentation of environmental science which emphasizes critical thinking, environmental responsibility, and global
awareness. The goal of this book is to provide an up-to-date, introductory global view of essential themes in environmental science along with emphasis on details and case studies that will help students process and retain the general principles. The authors made the text
readable and accessible without technical jargon or a presumption of prior science background. At the same time, enough data and depth are presented to make this book
suitable for many upper-division classes and a valuable resource for students who will keep it in their personal libraries after their formal studies are completed.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
• Every chapter now opens with a Case Study, introducing students to real-life applications of environmental science like: the IPCC report on climate change, the
Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, genetically modified organisms (GMSs), the explosion of urban geese populations, and the recent earthquake in Gujarat, India. Many more Case Studies can be found on the text's website.
• New and updated content throughout ensures that the most recent data in environmental science are included. Expanded coverage of evolution is found in Chapter 4.
• New Instructor Media! Upon adoption of the text, instructors will have access to over 200 engaging video clips to integrate into their lectures for more visually stimulating presentations. For example, new Discovery Channel EducationTM Video Clips on DVD cover topics ranging from ecology, evolution, chemistry, and energy, among several others. These short, 5-minute video clips include an easy-to-use search function for quick access.
• New, more contemporary design throughout makes the textbook more visually
appealing and inviting than ever before.
• New Website Index found on the text's website provides students and instructors with quick links to the wealth of content within it. The topics are listed alphabetically for quick and easy searches.
