Al Gore’s prizewinning documentary An Inconvenient Truth brought the environment back to center stage as a public concern―and just in time. The world faces grave ecological challenges that must be confronted before they can be dealt with, and that is what Everyday Ecology is all about. In clear, concise, natural English, and filled with quotes and insights from major science-news sources, this important new text takes an updated, unflinching (but ultimately optimistic) look at today’s most pressing environmental issues. In information- and idea-packed essays, Everyday Ecology presents the causes and consequences of global warming, air and water pollution, waste and resource depletion, loss of biodiversity, and other environmental phenomena, and then examines the practical, technological, and even philosophical solutions offered by scientists, activists, artists, and other concerned citizens. Everyday Ecology aims to familiarize students with the essential concepts and vocabulary they need to think about and discuss the environment in English. But the book has an ulterior motive: to raise ecological awareness and stimulate “green” action.
