Introduction

Welcome to Brooks/Cole's Environmental Updates. Here you will find monthly summaries of the latest news in Environmental Science. Because this is an interdisciplinary study, we will bring you information from both the natural and the social sciences. We'll report what's happening in the depths of the Amazonian rainforest AND on the floor of the United States Senate.

Each article will be accompanied by a list of places where you can find more information--both on the Web in Brooks/Cole's Environmental Science textbooks.

Be sure to check in regularly to keep up with the latest developments in this dynamic and challenging field.
