Ecology, Development, & Sustainability is a thoroughly illustrated environmental science lab manual that incorporates policy evaluation and cost analysis.

To facilitate balance, the manual is organized into four sections that are summarized in the title; the natural environment (ecology), quality of life (development), pollution mitigation (sustainability), and energy (sustainability).

Each lab has a corresponding "instructor's guide" with tips, sample data, logistical recommendations on how to use the class time, and a difficulty rating scale for each lab.

In addition to the table of contents, free excerpts can be downloaded at the bottom of the page, and many of the activities are summarized in short videos that are currently open to the general public. Instructors can share these videos with their students to help them follow the written instructions.

In order to encourage more widespread distribution my terms of use allow instructors to make photocopies for their students. This gives instructors the option of purchasing in order to supplement their regular environmental science schedule. Current users are encouraged to follow the Science Blog to keep up with new ideas for optimizing your laboratory experience.

If you already bought the first or second editions and want to follow up with the third edition, contact me directly and I will provide (at no cost to you) a CD containing a pdf file of the second edition with updated spreadsheets.
