Dear Ecolog-Listers: I teach a one-semester course in environmental sciences for non-science majors. For a while, I have been toying with the idea of revamping the whole course.
One of those areas of likely change is changing the textbook we use into one that non-only emphasizes *science* in a readable way for intelligent people who want to learn that also incorporates a. a global perspective (= not only the USA) b. a diversity of perspectives (= not only, on the average, things are improving, in other words, a finer detail showing that still there is a lot to be done) c. non-(hard)science (e.g. the social sciences and the humanities) If any of you have experience using a book (other resources that are not books are also OK) and would like to recommend it (positively or negatively), please, feel free to send me an email off the list. blayjo...@gmail.com With gratefulness, Jorge Jorge A.
