Environmental Issues: Measuring, Analyzing, and Evaluating

Abel, Daniel C., Ph.D.

Earth Sciences

The first book of its kind, the Electrical Engineering Design Compendium addresses a unique need in the electrical engineering community--the development of the critical skills necessary for the design process. McConnell, Cooley, and Middleton have met this need by writing a book that gives a complete overview of various design considerations. The book provides a wide range of problems, many of which involve true-to-life application. Readers may select problems from the areas of circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, controls, communications, and power and machines.

Environmental Oceanography: Towards a Sustainable Marine Environment is an interactive text and casebook designed to teach students about pressing marine environmental issues using critical thinking and basic math. The text uses an innovative approach to teaching environmental oceanography, consisting of marine environmental issues resented as self-contained analytical exercises, with information and questions on sustainability integrated throughout the text. Appropriate for a wide range of readers, Environmental Oceanography works well as a stand-alone text when supplemented with web-based activities, a lab-based course book, and as a supplement to main texts in oceanography and marine science for those instructors who would like to add an active learning focus to their course. Regardless of whether you are teaching a large or small course, Environmental Oceanography will engage and excite your students and prompt them to think critically about pressing environmental issues.

A Fresh and Modern Exploration of Environmental Geology Designed for the undergraduate, introductory environmental geology course for majors and non-majors alike, Environmental Geology Today presents the core geological principles and explores the effects of humanity on the physical environment. Contemporary case studies throughout encourage students to use their critical thinking skills to dissect the subject matter as part of their overall analysis. The numerous case studies are drawn from topical current events that relate to the chapter material and contain numerical data. Using simple math, graphing, and critical thinking, the authors challenge students to analyze aspects of the data, honing their basic math and analytical skills. With a focus on teaching students to think critically about our environment, Environmental Geology Today is a fresh and modern exploration of this ever-evolving field. Key Features: -Fosters students’ development of analytical and critical thinking skills through the use of numerous contemporary case studies designed to engage students in the material and maintain their interest. -Math is introduced in a non-threatening, step-by-step manner, allowing students to identify their own errors early in the process, thereby gradually building confidence in their own mathematical abilities. -Covers the core undergraduate introductory environmental geology topics, including earthquakes, population growth, floods and other coastal hazards, land use, natural resources, and more. -Features global, national, and regional issues, but also shows students how to retrieve and use information to address critical local issues like population growth and development, air and water pollution, land use and waste disposal.
