Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 950 Pages Indexed. A used but not abused book that shows light wear to covers. A quick thumb-thru revealed that there is some yellow hi-lighting on a few pages on some of the early pages. For the most part the interior text pages are white and bright. This major anthology is the first to apply a fully interdisciplinary approach to environmental studies. A comprehensive guide to environmental literacy, the book demonstrates how the sciences, social sciences, and humanities all contribute to understanding our interrelationships with the natural world. Though not specialized, this is a book that even specialists can learn from. Ten innovative case studies--climate shock, species endangerment, nuclear power, biotechnology, sustainable development, deforestation, environmental security, globalization, wilderness, and the urban environment--are followed by readings from specific disciplines. These can be integrated with the case studies to shape individual interests and teaching strategies. The volume presents an imaginative array of texts, from scientific papers to poetry, legal decisions to historical accounts, personal essays to economic analysis. Taken together, these selections provide a balanced, authoritative, and up-to-date treatment of key issues in environmental studies. Contents in Two Parts: Concepts and Case Studies, and Foundational Disciplines and Topics. Shely, Erin - Illustrations Editor (illustrator).…
