An edition of Managing our natural resources (1988)

Managing our natural resources

5th ed.

Managing Our Natural Resources, fifth edition, was designed and written with people and the environment in which we live in mind. The original book was written specifically to meet the need for an up-to-date introductory level natural resources text for high school and postsecondary agricultural education students. It provides an overview of a wide array of topics in the broad area of natural resources management, ranging from forestry to air quality to wildlife management to solid waste management. Each chapter is built around specific learning objectives and includes numerous photographs and other graphic illustrations that provide a lively look at the topics being discussed. Case studies that address real-world and current issues are provided for each unit and are designed to promote lively classroom discussion and facilitate critical thinking. - Publisher.
