Scientific American: Environmental Science for a Changing World

Following real people and real science, Environmental Science for a Changing World provides a unique context for showing students how science works and how to think critically about environmental issues. Chapters donâ€™t merely include interesting storiesâ€”each chapter is an example of science journalism at its best, combining Scientific American-style writing, layout, and graphics to tell one compelling story that exemplifies important concepts and issues. This approach has proven so effective, that instructors using the book report a dramatic increase in the number of students who read the assignments and come to class ready to participate.

This updated new edition features new stories, updated scientific coverage, and enhanced Infographicsâ€”the bookâ€™s signature visual study tool that combines memorable images, step-by-step callouts, and now, questions that foster scientific literacy.
