Dear Ecolog-Listers: I teach a one-semester course in environmental sciences for non-science majors. For a while, I have been toying with the idea of revamping the whole course.
One of those areas of likely change is changing the textbook we use into one that non-only emphasizes *science* in a readable way for intelligent people who want to learn that also incorporates a. a global perspective (= not only the USA) b. a diversity of perspectives (= not only, on the average, things are improving, in other words, a finer detail showing that still there is a lot to be done) c. non-(hard)science (e.g. the social sciences and the humanities) If any of you have experience using a book (other resources that are not books are also OK) and would like to recommend it (positively or negatively), please, feel free to send me an email off the list.
