Rosenblum’s Global Change Biology (PDF) is now exclusively available in an engaging e-book format in a PDF. However, for those who prefer the traditional print format, we are pleased to offer print-on-demand service upon request. Bree Rosenblum’s Global Change Biology is more than just a textbook; it is a comprehensive guide that illuminates the fascinating field of Global Change Biology and paves the way for designing thought-provoking courses in this rapidly growing area of biological study.
Unlike other texts that narrowly focus on climate, Rosenblum takes a broader approach by presenting a conceptually integrated perspective on the profound impact of human activities on life on Earth. This groundbreaking textbook encourages students to think critically about change across different spatial and temporal scales, bridging the gap between ecology and evolution. It is a unique educational resource that fills an important niche in the field.
The textbook follows a well-structured conceptual arc built around four fundamental learning objectives, which span the past, present, and future. Students will delve into the complex history of planetary change, explore the multifaceted impact of contemporary stressors on life, examine the dynamic interactions and responses of living systems to global change, and discover opportunities for preserving resilient ecosystems in our rapidly changing world.
To ensure a comprehensive learning experience, the textbook includes enriching features such as Core Concepts boxes that review foundational material, Meet the Data boxes that provide hands-on experience in interpreting global change biology data, and Taking a Closer Look sections that allow students to explore intricate biological responses in complex systems. Pre- and post-assessment tools, such as The Blank Page and reflection questions, encourage students to reflect, self-assess, and deepen their understanding.
While the primary intended audience for Global Change Biology is upper division undergraduate students who are ready to apply their knowledge in ecology and evolution to the field of global change biology, the textbook also has the power to captivate other audiences. It serves as a valuable roadmap for instructors looking to develop courses that enlighten and inspire students about the study of life on our rapidly changing planet.
