内容简介 · · · · · ·

Rather than the 25 to 30 chapters found in most environmental science textbooks, the authors have limited Principles of Environmental Science: Inquiry and Applications to 15 chapters--perfect for the one-semester, non-majors environmental science course. True to its title, the goal of this concise text is to provide an up-to-date, introductory view of essential themes in enviro...

William Cunningham is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Minnesota where he taught for 36 years in the Departments of Botany and Genetics and Cell Biology as well as the Conservation Biology Program, the Institute for Social, Economic, and Ecological Sustainability, the Center for Environmental Learning and Leadership, and the McArthur Program in Global Change. He received his Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Texas in 1963 and spent two years at Purdue University as a postdoctoral fellow. At various times, he has been a visiting scholar in Sweden, Norway, Indonesia, and China, as well as several universities and research institutions in the United States.. . Dr. Cunningham has devoted himself to education and teaching development at the undergraduate level in biology. He began his educational career in structural biology but for the last 10-15 years has concentrated on environmental science, teaching courses such as Social Uses of Biology; Garbage, Government, and the Globe; Environmental Ethics; and Conservation History. Within the past four years, he has received both of the two highest teaching honors that the University of Minnesota bestows -- The Distinguished Teaching Award and a $15,000 Amoco Alumni Award. He has served as a Faculty Mentor for younger faculty at the university, sharing the knowledge and teaching skills that he has gained during his distinguished career..

Mary Ann Cunningham teaches geography and geographic information systems (GIS), and environmental studies at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY. Her research involves using GIS to assess landscape-level problems in conservation and biodiversity. In particular, she is interested in understanding the nature of fragmentation in grassland environments and the effects of fragmentation on the make-up of bird communities. The agricultural landscapes where she has been working represent a complex and fascinating interaction of issues concerning working landscapes, resource use, remnant wildlife habitat, and landscape aesthetics. It is at the intersection of these issues that she likes to try and understand the geography of physical environments. Mary Ann earned a PhD in Geography at the University of Minnesota, an MA in Geography at the University of Oregon, and a BA in Geology at Carleton College.. . . .

环境与保护不只是一句口号，而是涉及广泛的综合学科

在人类近几个世纪的快速发展中，对环境造成了恶劣的影响，环保一词也逐渐成为了人们探究可持续发展的新概念。然而，前有环保人士借环保之名大肆破坏，后有环保少女的无知咆哮，让人们对环保产生了某种抵触心理。其实，环境保护并不是几句口号和盲目游行就能够实现的，需要我们... (展开)

想了解环境的科学，读这一本就大满足！

有时候想对某一方面的知识做比较系统全面的了解，于是需要搜寻一些完整的课程书籍。这个时候我推荐后浪这一个系列的丛书：后浪大学堂。说来惭愧，虽然是推荐，事实上我两年来也只入手了一本《做哲学 : 88个思想实验中的哲学导论》，已经在手中两年了，依然感觉还没有读透彻； ... (展开)

尽管她静默不语，我们仍为在此间流连而深感着迷

《环境的科学》是William Cunningham和Mary Ann Cunningham合著的一本环境科学教材。封面上是蓝色海洋上逐渐破裂融化的冰盖和冰盖上依偎着的无所适从的北极熊们，仅是关乎全球变暖就已经可以在流媒体上看到诸多争吵和不同立场，我们大多数人都对环境保护其必要性有所认知，但对... (展开)
