ISE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Libro digital para leer en línea o en app móvil

Descripción:
Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field. Because environmental
problems occur as a result of the interaction between
humans and the natural world, we must include both scientific and
social aspects when we seek solutions to environmental problems.
Therefore, the central theme of this book is interrelatedness. It is
important to have a historical perspective, to appreciate economic
and political realities, to recognize the role of different social
experiences and ethical backgrounds, and to integrate these with
the science that describes the natural world and how we affect it.
Environmental Science: A Study of Interrelationships incorporates
all of these sources of information when discussing any environmental
issue.
