What is new to this third edition:

 Eight new chapters focused mainly on public policy.

 A new theoretical chapter by the author, “What is ‘Nature,’ and Why Should I Care?”

 The inclusion of Garrett Hardin’s “The Tragedy of the Commons” in the theoretical section.

 The inclusion of Steve Vanderheiden’s “Globalizing Responsibility for Climate Change” in the Sustainability section.

 A new student feedback piece in the online instructors’ manual that will assist professors and students in achieving the skills to address challenging cases that correspond to the sections of the book. This includes the new public policy section that guides students into creating a personal manifesto that they can share with policymakers.

I am hoping that this third edition will be even more action-oriented and meet the needs of “active education.” As time goes on, we must heed the cries of Greta Thunberg seeking action on the frontlines of environmental change. Perhaps, this book will nudge students forward in seeking action in this critical area of public policy that aims at saving the planet.
