1. A "Resource Locator" that pulls together appropriate material from numerous sources to help instructors get the most out of every chapter.
2. Activities. You’ve asked for them; we’ve provided them! Lecture Activities, Small Group Activities, Lab Activities, Semester/Quarter Projects, and more! All of the activities are cross-referenced in the Resource Locator and include assessment guides for grading.
3. Guidelines for constructing a good test
4. Bloom’s taxonomy for identifying levels of questions
5. Objective test questions with answers
6. Short answer/essay questions with assessment guides

• OnLine Learning Center. No environmental science text on the market offers such an extensive website and many of its features are new to the sixth edition:

1. Chapter URLs. Linked to the textbook, these regularly updated URLs provide additional learning opportunities for research, writing papers, or tutorial purposes.
2. World Map with Current Environmental Concerns. Click on the spinning globe and discover an entire planet of hot issues in environmental studies. Updated every three months, these articles are complete with photos, references back to the text, and additional links to appropriate Internet sites. Past issues are indexed in a convenient chart for easy access.
3. Interactive Lecture Notes. Keyed to each chapter, this remarkable presentation will add pizzazz to your lecture and offers additional resources for study and research.
