Environmental Science
by Wright
Environmental Science: Toward A Sustainable Future, 9/e focuses on the question, "What will it take to move our civilization toward a long-term sustainable relationship with the natural world?" Its goal is to engage and inform students so they can critically evaluate environmental issues and make informed decisions about their environment. Three main categories define how the author works to achieve this goal: Critical thinking Applications Resources for instructors and students Critical Thinking: An essential part of teaching environmental science is helping students distinguish sound science from junk science. it becomes increasingly important as students learn to evaluate scientific information and begin to make informed decisions about the environment. Environmental Science employs the Strategic themes of sound science, sustainability, and stewardship to help students conceptualize the task of forging a sustainable future for the environment. Applications: Environmental science is more than just knowing information about the environment; it's about how students should act toward the environment. Environmental Science employs the new Global City CD-ROM, Environment on the Web Exercises, and Making a Difference Exercises to provide tangible, assignable activities that students can use to apply the information they are learning and to put their critical-thinking skills into practice. Student Resources: To fully support students in their learning efforts, this book is accompanied by a strong set of student resources to support students' efforts to learn the material. These resources include an online study guide ( www.prenhall.com/wright ), a printed study guide, and the student lecture notebook note-taking guide. Please see the book's preface for more information about any of these study aids.

Being Human
by Anna Lisa Peterson
BEING HUMAN examines the complex connections among conceptions of human nature, attitudes toward nonhuman nature, and ethics. Anna Peterson proposes an "ethical anthropology" that examines how ideas of nature and humanity are bound together in ways that shape the very foundations of cultures. Beginning with Western interpretations, Peterson examines the Christian and Enlightenment based attitudes that assume an unbridgeable gap between human and non human aspects of nature. She goes on to explore challenges to these models posed by Asian worldviews; by Native American traditions such as the Navajo and Koyukon cultures; and by feminist ethics concerned with the narrative and relational quality of human and nonhuman nature as well as of ethical theory itself.
