REVAMPED OUTLINE AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES. This student-friendly reorganized outline includes revamped review questions for better retention of new information so students can master each chapter with ease.
INCORPORATES FIVE MAIN SUBTHEMES: (1) How sustainability relies on natural resources and ecosystem services that sustain life and economies, (2) How human activities can harm natural resources, (3) Solutions to environmental issues that encourage students to implore critical thinking, (4) The trade-offs that are involved when finding solutions and weighing pros and cons, and (5) 'Individuals Matter' boxes and case studies that highlight the sustainability efforts of both scientists and citizens alike.
GLOBAL ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE. The narrative emphasizes a global ecological perspective by revealing how life on Earth is connected and sustained within the biosphere. It incorporates information and imagery from all around the world, including over 40 maps that are featured throughout the text.
CORE CASE STUDIES. Each chapter begins with a Core Case Study that continues throughout the text. These case studies help students apply what they've learned to current, real-world issues. At the end of each chapter, students get to participate in a "Tying It All Together" box that connects the Core Case Study and chapter learnings to sustainability principles.
