Description
Investigating Australian Ecosystems analyses a wide range of Australian environments and looks at how they are managed. It considers how they operate, the flora and fauna that live in them, and how they have changed over time as a result of human intervention. It links the study of systems ecology with other scientific and non-scientific disciplines to set Australia's environments fully in context. Investigating Australian Ecosystems has been written for senior secondary students in Australia by the Victorian Association of Environmental Educators and other leading figures involved in environmental education. It makes extensive use of case studies, student activities and role play to fully involve the student.
