Cambridge International AS Level Environmental Management Coursebook with Digital Access (2 Years)

Description

Help your students uncover methods of sustainable development and explore the impact humans can have on complex ecosystems. This coursebook supports you and your class through the Cambridge International AS Level Environmental Management syllabus (8291). Hone learners' analysis, evaluation, and problem-solving skills through enquiry-led tasks and critical thinking opportunities, enabling them to consider environmental impacts over time at both a local and global scale. Review: At last! - This is a great book and the first text provided for the AS student studying Environmental Management. It's pricey but I'd say it's worth it - and of course it comes with an online version accessible for 2 years. First the good points. The case studies are clear and well-researched, relevant and up-to-date. If students took the IGCSE they will already be familiar with the Australian cane toads etc. but the first chapter is 'revision' for anyone who launches straight into AS. I would advise students to take the IGCSE first. There are a few typos in the text, however the diagrams showing data collection techniques are excellent and clearly explained. There are worked examples of the Lincoln Index and Simpson's Index of biodiversity. My only real criticism: I have struggled to explain to my students why it has only appeared now, long after the start of the school year. One student obtained his copy four days before his resits! Review: Great supplemental text - This is a useful book to help support an AICE student, review concepts outside of the classroom.
