Louise M. Weber's textbook, "Understanding Nature: Ecology for a New Generation," claims to teach theory and applications that will heal the Earth and promote long-term sustainability practices. However, the book falls short of its promises. Indigenous knowledge is only briefly discussed, and the author misses opportunities to introduce new species and systems as examples. The book also lacks in-depth coverage of population growth and climate change, and the chapter on climate change is only three pages long. Overall, the book does not provide the diverse voices and hopeful outlook that students may be seeking. [Extracted from the article] |
