Environmental Science: Society, Nature, and Technology, 1st Edition, examines environmental issues through the perspective of chemical processes. Written by Takashiro Akitsu, the textbook explores the interactions connecting modern technology, human society, and the natural world.
The volume organizes its analysis around two primary dimensions: natural sciences and social sciences considered alongside chemistry. Topics include environmental economics and policy, green chemistry, ecological concepts, and natural resource systems.
Originally conceptualized as e-learning lecture presentations with explanatory notes, the text supports undergraduate college courses. Chapters incorporate discussion topics suited for liberal arts students alongside active learning problems with solutions.
