Synopsis: This fourth edition of BIOZONE’s Environmental Science combines the very best features of a light textbook with the utility of a workbook. This innovative hybrid, known as an interactive worktext, eliminates the need for a separate textbook, offering an all-in-one educational resource. It’s full color, highly visual content brings the subject to life in an engaging and thought- provoking manner. The four themes: Earth’s Systems, Living World, Global Resources, and Global Change introduce students to our planet’s physical and biological systems and the ways in which humans interact with them. This new edition includes engaging, real-world data on subjects relevant to students, such as fast fashion and mass travel. A chapter on climate change concludes the book and addresses the rapidly emerging and dynamic changes observed in the global environment. While many of the problems caused by human exploitation of Earth’s resources are highlighted, hope for the future features throughout via content that describes ways in which human induced issues can be mitigated.
