Living in the Environment

In the new edition of LIVING IN THE ENVIRONMENT, authors Miller and Spoolman continue partnering with National Geographic Learning to deliver a text that equips students with the knowledge and inspiration they need to make a difference in solving today's environmental issues. Using sustainability as the integrating theme, the 20th Edition provides clear introductions to multiple environmental problems and balanced evaluations of potential solutions. Core Case Studies spotlight important real-world issues, exercises throughout help students sharpen their critical-thinking skills and a continuing focus on learning from nature highlights principles and applications of biomimicry. MindTap's wealth of anywhere, anytime digital learning tools includes Debate and Defend activities that help students practice evidence-based decision-making, concept animations and conceptual learning activities.
