A great hands-on book is "Consider a spherical cow". Best way to add some back of the envelope calculations to environmental science.If the students are hungry for more, then you can go to the much feared sequel, "Consider a cylindrical cow".Here are the Amazon links http://www.amazon.com/Consider-Spherical-Cow-John-Harte/dp/093570258X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313180931&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Consider-Cylindrical-Cow-Adventures-Environmental/dp/1891389173/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1313180961&sr=8-2 Sarah Frias-Torres, Ph.D. Schmidt Ocean Institute Postdoctoral FellowOcean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA) 1420 Seaway Drive, Fort Pierce, Florida 34949 USA Tel (772) 467-1600http://www.teamorca.orghttp://independent.academia.edu/SarahFriasTorres
