In our everyday lives, our actions and the decisions we make have both direct and indirect effects on the environment. Our World Today introduces students to a variety of contemporary environmental issues and encourages them to think how their everyday actions can have either positive or negative impacts on the environment. Each unit is written in accessible English, making Our World Today a suitable textbook for not only science majors, but also for those who study humanities and social sciences. It features a range of topics such as climate change, deforestation, and population. Our World Today not only helps students improve their language skills, but also encourages critical thinking while discussing important environmental topics with their classmates.
