Living in the Environment, Fourth Canadian Edition, is designed to equip students with the inspiration and knowledge they need to make a difference solving today’s environmental issues in Canada and globally. The text is science based, solutions oriented, and provides an interdisciplinary study of how nature works and how things in nature are interconnected. The authors present fair and balanced presentations of opposing viewpoints, advantages and disadvantages of various technologies, and proposed solutions to environmental problems without injecting personal bias, allowing students to think critically and draw their own conclusions about important environmental issues.
