| Description: | Select Guide Rating For those who think the Ozone Hole is a grunge club, or that the Green Revolution happened in Greenland, this helpful book introduces the world of environmental literacy. Chemical cycles, life communities, human population growth and global warming are all translated into cartoons. Do you think that the Ozone Hole is a grunge rock club? Or that the Food Web is an on-line restaurant guide? Or that the Green Revolution happened in Greenland? Then you need The Cartoon Guide to the Environment to put you on the road to environmental literacy. The Cartoon Guide to the Environment covers the main topics of environmental science: chemical cycles, life communities, food webs, agriculture, human population growth, sources of energy and raw materials, waste disposal and recycling, cities, pollution, deforestation, ozone depletion, and global warming—and puts them in the context of ecology, with discussions of population dynamics, thermodynamics, and the behavior of complex systems. |
