The environmental challenges that today’s students will face throughout their lives are characterized by a seeming paradox: They are both increasingly global and increasingly local. Threats to local food production include global climate change.
An energy resource can endanger a rare species when it is extracted and global public health after it is used, as when mercury from coal burning reaches the ocean. Improving the conditions of our environment requires that we understand how the choices we make impact air, water, soil, and organisms, as well as their interrelationships.
Science is the most appropriate and effective approach to gaining that understanding. It is therefore critical that students learn about the science behind energy, climate change, and other environmental issues that affect them, not only because they will make decisions about energy and climate change but also because they will experience the repercussions if these problems are not dealt with effectively.
The overarching concept of environmental sustainability has never been more important to the field of environmental science than it is today. Sustainability, a central theme of Environment, is integrated throughout the text. Yet the more we learn about the environment, the more we realize that interactions among different components of the environment are many and complex.
Therefore, a second important theme of Environment is environmental systems. Understanding how change to one component affects other processes, places, and organisms is essential to managing existing problems, avoiding future problems, and improving the world in which we live.
Raven, Hassenzahl, Hager, Gift, and Berg’s Environment, 9th Edition, is intended as an introductory text for undergraduate students, both science and nonscience majors. Although relevant to all students, Environment, 9th Edition, is particularly appropriate for those majoring in education, journalism, government and politics, and business, as well as the traditional sciences.
All of the chapters have been painstakingly researched, and extraordinary efforts have been made to obtain the most recent data available. Both instructors and students will benefit from the book’s currency because environmental issues and trends are continually changing.
Environment, 9th Edition, integrates important information from many different fields, such as biology, geography, chemistry, geology, physics, economics, sociology, natural resources management, law, and politics. Because environmental science is an interdisciplinary field, this book is appropriate for use in environmental science courses offered by a variety of departments, including (but not limited to) biology, geology,
geography, and agriculture.
New to the 9th Edition is an emphasis on food and the environment. This includes a substantially updated chapter on food by new team member Nancy Y. Gift, increased attention to food systems woven throughout the text, and a challenge in each chapter for students to think about food and environment in contexts that affect them.
Co-author Mary Catherine Hager likewise brings expertise in ecosystems, population biology, and water ecology. Together, their contributions deepen our ability to present the complex systems that make up our environment in a clear and compelling fashion.
