Environmental Science 14th Edition, by G. Tyler Miller and Scott Spoolman equips students to make a difference for the world. Featuring sustainability as their central theme, authors emphasize natural capital, natural capital degradation, solutions, trade-offs, and the importance of individuals.
As a result, students learn how nature works, how they interact with it, and how they can use various scientific principles based on how nature has sustained life on the earth for billions of years to live more sustainably. Engaging features like "Core Case Studies, and "Connections" boxes demonstrate the relevance of issues and encourage critical thinking. Updated with new learning tools, the latest content, and an enhanced art program, this highly flexible book allows instructors to vary the order of chapters and sections within chapters to meet the needs of their courses.
Two new active learning features conclude each chapter. "Doing Environmental Science" offers project ideas based on chapter content that build critical thinking skills and integrate scientific method principles. "Global Environmental Watch" offers online learning activities through the Global Environment Watch website, helping students connect the book's concepts to current real-world issues.
Three clearly explained principles of sustainability (solar energy, chemical cycling, and biodiversity) are integrated throughout every chapter and take students through the practical steps they can take toward more sustainable lifestyles. Icons highlight sustainability throughout the text. "What Can You Do?" boxes describe how students can make a difference.
A quantitative "Data Analysis" or "Ecological Footprint Analysis" exercises at the end of each chapter enable you to focus on human impact through analysis of emissions data, population data, and other current real-life statistics. New "Data and Map Analysis" exercises have also been added to the accompanying online resources. "Three Big Ideas" at the end of each chapter summarize the three most important ideas of each chapter.
"Doing Environmental Science" offers project ideas based on chapter content. The projects build critical thinking skills and integrate scientific method principles. "Global Environment Watch" offers online learning activities through the Global Environment Watch website, helping students connect the book's concepts to current real-world issues.
