| Summary, etc |
"We wrote this book to help you achieve three important goals: first, to explain to your students the basics of environmental science; second, to help your students in using this scientific foundation to understand the environ-mental problems that we face and to evaluate possible solutions to them; and third, to inspire your students to make a difference in how we treat the earth on which our lives and economies depend, and thus in how we treat ourselves and our descendants.<br/><br/>We view environmental problems and possible solutions to them through the lens of sustainability-the integrating theme of this book. The ever-evolving nature of our planet's environmental challenges compels us to provide your students with the most current and relevant knowledge to become informed stewards of the Earth, while inspiring students to engage with critical environ-mental issues and find sustainable solutions. We believe in empowering your students to become catalysts for a more sustainable world because people can live comfortable and fulfilling lives when sustainability becomes one of the chief measures by which personal choices and public policies are made.<br/><br/>For these reasons, we are happy to be continuing our partnership with National Geographic Learning. One result has been the addition of many stunning and informative photographs, numerous maps, and several stories of National Geographic Explorers-people who are making a positive difference in the world. With these tools, we continue to tell of the good news from various fields of environmental science, hoping to inspire young people to commit themselves to making our world a more sustainable place to live for their own and future generations." --Preface |
