Our Environment: A Canadian Perspective, 2nd Edition

by Dianne Draper

The fourth edition of Our A Canadian Perspective continues to provide a contemporary introduction to the social issues behind the scientific concepts that are important to the study and understanding of the ecological functioning of our global environment. The book also aims to present current information on environmental issues we face in Canada from the perspective of sustainability. If Canadian efforts to resolve environmental issues are to succeed, we need to think critically and in an integrated fashion about them and about the relationships between people and Earth’s ecosystems. Thus, information presented in the fourth edition integrates physical and human dimensions fully and reflects a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the study of global and local environments.
