This major, definitive anthology of writings is a complete and up-to-date guide to environmental literacy.

This major anthology is the first to apply a fully interdisciplinary approach to environmental studies. A comprehensive guide to environmental literacy, the book demonstrates how the sciences, social sciences, and humanities all contribute to understanding our interrelationships with the natural world. Though not specialized, Environment is a book that even specialists can learn from. Ten innovative case studies--climate shock, species endangerment, nuclear power, biotechnology, sustainable development, deforestation, environmental security, globalization, wilderness, and the urban environmentâ"are followed by readings from specific disciplines. These can be integrated with the case studies to shape individual interests and teaching strategies. The volume presents an imaginative array of texts, from scientific papers to poetry, legal decisions to historical accounts, personal essays to economic analysis. Taken together, these selections provide a balanced, authoritative, and up-to-date treatment of key issues in environmental studies.
Industry Reviews
"The particular strength of this book is its inclusion of many writings from significant or 'classic' sources and its strong effort to span the disciplines."--Deborah Dalton, University of Oklahoma

"This book should alleviate a lot of stress and hassle for Environmental Studies teachers. It's a streamlined volume of the must-reads throughout the history of this important subject."--Margaret Lowman, author of "Life in the Treetops" and co-author of "It's a Jungle Up There: More Tales from the Treetops"

"This superb collection contains a comprehensive yet highly selective set of environmental writings. The book contains many classics as well as more recent pieces that are destined to become classics. "Environment" crosses over among environmental literature, science, technology and policy . . . often in the same section and sometimes within individual articles. Highly recommended for any student or scholar of environmental studies."--Professor Andrew Friedland, Dartmouth Environmental Studies Program
