Outlooks: Readings for Environmental Literacy, Second Edition is an anthology of recent articles covering diverse viewpoints on environmental issues and solutions. The articles, collected from a variety of general interest and science magazines, are organized into five major sections: The Environment and Humans; The Environment of Life on Planet Earth; Resource Use and Management; Dealing with Environmental Degradation; and Environmental Issues: Social Aspects and Solutions. This organization is the same sequence used in Environmental Science: Systems and Solutions, Third Edition, by Michael L. McKinney and Robert M. Schoch. However, Outlooks provides tangible examples for the breadth of material students typically encounter when using any environmental science text. Each article is prefaced with a brief overview from the editor and questions at the end of the articles help the reader focus on the main points of the discussion.McKinney, Michael L. is the author of 'Outlooks Readings for Environmental Literacy', published 2004 under ISBN 9780763732806 and ISBN 076373280X.
