From the Publisher
Meaningful, current data. Because political, economic, and social factors are critical components in environmental science, the authors expertly weave these issues throughout the text. The key is a balanced, up-to-date approach. With strong ethical considerations, Cunningham and Saigo present issues with a point/counterpoint approach. Environmental Science: A Global Concern helps your students learn and master the basics of environmental science, while encouraging them to ponder the implications.
Fascinating reading. Nearly all of the readings are new or significantly updated to reflect the most recent findings and issues in this ever-changing field of study. You'll find:
New "Ethical Considerations" questions summarize 17 interesting and relevant case studies. These unique summaries give students ideas for research and illustrate the complexity of today's environmental challenges. "China's One-Child Family Program" (chapter 7), and "Killing Baby Seals" (chapter 13).
25 introductory essays engage and draw the student into each chapter with real-life situations. "People or Wildlife in South Africa?" (chapter 2), and "Development at What Cost?" (chapter 8).
24 effective critical thinking boxes support chapter content. "What Do You Think? Environmental Estrogens" (chapter 12), "What Do You Think? Economic Aspects of the Endangered Species Act" (chapter 13).
10 In-Depth readings illustrate and illuminate important concepts. "Getting To Know Our Neighbors" (chapter 1), and "Personal Energy Efficiency" (chapter 22).
New, attractive design. To support the fourth edition's solid, current content, the entire art program has been beautifully enhanced.
Nearly half of the more than 250 full-color photographs are new to this edition. Many have been supplied by author William Cunningham-for perfect correlation between text and visuals.
The 155 diagrams and maps are designed in a functional, three-dimensional style. Informative tables include two or three columns of data-enabling students to analyze facts and draw their own conclusions.
To help put it all together, a new world map-with accurate sizes and up-to-date borders-is found at the front of the text.
