Environmental Science and Sustainability by Daniel J Sherman
More than ever, students are thinking about their choices in a changing environment. Environmental Science and Sustainability gives students a scientific understanding of the environment while helping them practice decision-making. The Second Edition now integrates the role environmental justice plays in decisions, and new insights gained from the pandemic and IPCC Sixth Assessment. The Norton Illumine Ebook, InQuizitive, and What Would You Do? decision-making activities build a learning pathway of interactive reading and practice at one low price.
