501			_aOver view: Using sustainability as their central theme, the authors emphasize natural capital, natural capital degradation, solutions, trade-offs and the importance of individuals. In return, you learn how nature works, how you interact with it and how humanity can continue to sustain its relationship with the earth by applying nature's lessons to economies and individual lifestyles. Features: The book includes more than 40 additional case studies on environmental problems and their solutions, in addition to the 17 core case studies. "Thinking About" exercises encourage critical thinking about environmental issues and possible solutions. End-of-chapter materials include review questions, critical thinking questions, environmental science exercises, and data analysis and ecological footprint analysis problems. The book emphasizes a global perspective with information and images from around the world and includes Global Environment Watch exercises. The concept-centered approach focuses on key questions and concepts in each major chapter section. The new "Learning from Nature" feature discusses specific applications of biomimicry in various industries and fields of research, and the principles of biomimicry are explored throughout the book.
