This book, one of a series of activity-based books for GCSE, covers various aspects of the environment and how people interact with it. It looks at ecology, pollution, conservation and management, taking examples from local to global level. The modules of work, suitable for all levels of ability, are designed to be of one term's duration. Each book in the "Humanities Insight" series is self-contained, but the texts inter-relate to give a coherent overview of contemporary issues.
