Environmental Change and Challenge: A Canadian Perspective

by Philip Dearden, Bruce Mitchell

Offering a thought-provoking and intelligent look at the earth's ecosystems and the changes that affect us all, Environmental Change and Challenge covers both environmental science and environmental management from a uniquely Canadian focus. Chapters explain how marine and terrestrial
ecosystems work, how predator-prey relationships form part of the intricate web linking all species, how the survival or extinction of one species affects the survival or extinction of other species in the food chain, and how we must now learn to manage the resources we depend on in much more
effective ways, and how we can take a proactive approach to minimize our personal impact on the environment.

As someone who took the science stream in high school and continued to take science-based courses in university, this book is very basic. If you have a science background/are strong in the discipline, I would recommend looking for a more in-depth/challenging book.
