Boxes highlighting 'green' issues - the impact of pesticides; the plight of vulnerable species; and the search for renewable energy - appear throughout; as do profiles of influential figures - Charles Darwin; Carl Linnaeus; Rachel Carson; and James Lovelock - which place their ideas in their historical context. Whether you're new to ecology; a science student; or simply concerned about what's happening to our planet; this is a comprehensive introduction to the environment and climate change - arguably the most important subjects of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60279889428814,"sku":"SNW5862","price":28.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0902\/9022\/5486\/files\/image_143597.jpg?v=1785591246","url":"https:\/\/narcomics.net\/products\/dealman-u3-theecologybook-0386","provider":"Narcomics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
