This text takes an experimental/discovery approach, allowing students to formulate their opinions about environmental science, rather than presenting pre-formed views. Each chapter begins with a case study and ends with a discussion of an environmental issue. Five key themes help students to draw connections between specific topics and their overall importance to environmental science: global perspective; human population; sustainability; the urban world; and values, knowledge and social justice.
