Energy, Environment, and Sustainability

Guide students to a better understanding of the environment, energy and sustainability and their critical importance today with Moaveni’s insightful ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, AND SUSTAINABILITY, 2nd Edition. As the effects of climate change make an increasing impact in current times, students learn to evaluate energy and environmental footprints to determine environmentally sound decisions and preserve natural resources. Students become aware of their own energy consumption as they study how much energy is required to manufacture, transport, use and dispose of products. A new chapter highlights evidence-based analysis and how this systematic approach to sustainability leads to reliable decisions. Relevant, everyday examples clarify concepts, while hands-on problems direct students in analyzing information, preparing reports and presentations and working as teams. WebAssign is available to customize your students' learning paths and manage your course.
