Environmental Science: Sustainability for the 21st Century is a textbook that applies environmental science concepts to the assessment and solution of environmental problems. The target audience includes students of various majors. These graduates will direct this century's decision makers by molding public opinion, by comprising an informed electorate, and by community action in tackling societal problems of the environment. Such issues include: (1) sustainable and safe material and energy resources, (2) waste management, (3) poverty, (4) critical supplies of safe water, air, and food, and (5) inordinate population growth, all of which are interconnected.
Environmental Science: Sustainability for the 21st Century prepares these students to understand these problems, in the hope of relaying their informed concerns to our leaders. Chapters in each of seven units introduce and review scientific principles, discuss material and energy resources, and detail environmental problems and their solutions. The book emphasizes nature's repair and natural recycling of wastes, a role model for humans to follow. Numerous color photographs and diagrams illustrate the natural environment and sources of environmental hazards.
