Sustainability

Sustainability: A Reader for Writers, 1st Edition, is a thematic reader that introduces students to environmental questions through guided reading and writing. The text prepares students to enter academic and civic discussions concerning sustainability and resource stewardship.

The volume approaches sustainability by examining research across economics, society, resource planning, and the environment. Key subjects addressed across the selections include climate change, energy and resource management, trash, and the linked concerns of food, water, and soil.

Developed for freshman composition courses, the collection brings together an interdisciplinary mix of public, academic, and scientific texts. These selections help students cultivate the rhetorical knowledge and compositional skills needed to address environmental issues in speech and writing.
