Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "Understanding Environmental Issues provides an excellent foundation for developing critical thinking about contemporary environmental concerns and the ways in which these are debated, represented and managed. The book should achieve its aim of stimulating students to engage with how ideas of sustainability and environmental justice can be applied both in policy and in practical action." - Gordon Walker, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University "The arena of environmental issues is a minefield for undergraduate students seeking clarity about key problems and solutions. This is where Understanding Environmental Issues will play a major role, providing a stimulating guide through the wealth of material and complex ideas. In particular the unification of social and physical science in the case studies provides a holistic approach to the subject that is essential for students and a refreshing innovation for environmental textbooks." - Anna R. Davies, Trinity College, University of Dublin There is now an unprecedented interest in, and concern about, environmental problems. Understanding Environmental Issues explains the science behind these problems, as well as the economic, political, social, and cultural factors which produce and reproduce them. This book: Explains, clearly and concisely, the science and social science necessary to understand environmental issues. Describes - in section one - the philosophies, values, politics, and technologies which contribute to the production of environmental issues. Uses cases on climate change, waste, food, and natural hazards in section two to provide detailed illustration and exemplification of the ideas described in section one. The conclusion, a case study of Mexico City, draws together the key themes Vivid, accessible and pedagogically informed, Understanding Environmental Issues will be a key resource for undergraduate and taught postgraduate students in Geography, Environment, and Ecology; as well as students of the social sciences with an interest in environmental issues. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condizione: gut. Auflage: 1 (April 2004). Addresses the environmental impacts and management of computers through a set of analyses on issues ranging from environmental assessment, technologies for recycling, consumer behaviour, strategies of computer manufacturing firms, and government policies.Personal computers have made life convenient in many ways, but what about their impacts on the environment due to production, use and disposal? Manufacturing computers requires prodigious quantities of fossil fuels, toxic chemicals and water. Rapid improvements in performance mean we often buy a new machine every 1-3 years, which adds up to mountains of waste computers. How should societies respond to manage these environmental impacts? This volume addresses the environmental impacts and management of computers through a set of analyses on issues ranging from environmental assessment, technologies for recycling, consumer behaviour, strategies of computer manufacturing firms, and government policies. One conclusion is that extending the lifespan of computers (e.g. through reselling) is an environmentally and economically effective strategy that deserves more attention from governments, firms and the general public.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Lesson Plan from the year 2022 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Discussion and Essays, grade: 1,7, University of Trier, course: Technology supported language learning, language: English, abstract: The curriculum states that students should be prepared to develop techniques and strategies for the acquisition of knowledge. In the process, fundamental skills in working with texts, materials and learning objects are to be practiced. The online research task is based on this foundation. As students come across numerous articles, posts, pictures, videos, tweets, etc., they need to be able to gain a brief overview of the content of a text, filter the most important information and combine different information from several materials. They must actively acquire knowledge by working independently, thoughtfully and in a goal-oriented manner; different Internet or news sites are used according to their own goals and needs. In particular, the ability to use media critically is trained by instructing the students to use reputable and reliable sources. Since they already have prior knowledge, the Guideline for online research is meant to reiterate the necessary aspects. Berufsschulen in particular are directly affected by technological and economic changes brought by digitization considering their direct preparation for the working sphere, which emphasizes the importance of the skills taught in the lesson. Technology is becoming more advanced and is entering all areas of life, including the education system and teaching English a second or foreign language. As the daily use of online sources and media among adolescents has nearly doubled in the last ten years, from approximately 138 minutes in 2010 to 258 minutes in 2020, and continues to increase, it is essential to design English language teaching tasks more digitally oriented. Especially considering that English is the dominant language in media use alongside the respective native language. However, it is necessary to use digital media in the classroom not only as a means of including them, such as merely showing a video; it is crucial to use them in meaningful and effective ways that allow students to develop relevant subject-specific and cross-curricular competences. Traditional principles of English language teaching, e.g. action orientation, learner orientation, authentic communication and diversity of authentic texts, or the ability to critically use media are still as relevant, although new literacies have to be involved as well. This includes visual texts and communication and digital competences with a focus on language and forms of expression in digital communication.
