Description
Visualizing the Environment, Canadian Edition follows a fresh approach to Environmental Science. Wiley, in partnership with National Geographic, has created a visually-focused text designed to uniquely address the processing style of today?s student by making material accessible and engaging without sacrificing content.

It centres on problems that have resulted from human activities, and most importantly looks at a diversity of solutions and actions that can be taken to ensure the future well-being of our Earth.
