Review - What is Env.
Definitions range from activism to encyclopedic-academic knowledge.
Whatever you want to believe it is, in a world of superspecialization and lack of holistic views, this is a subject yet to be resolved. The current trend of hiring faculty more and more unidimensional in their scholarship in our colleges and universities, and to consider interdisciplinary studies as not truly robust academia, has led to the production of students that lack the necessary breadth to make the connections between ecology and economics, policy and ethics, history and land management. Appendixes include a Timeline of environmental history, web sites sorted by subject, a list of endangered species by state, a list of environmental organizations, and a bibliography. Actually Dashefsky s book contains 963 terms 2 . Yet, when we match the terms described in both books, the overlap is only of 293, which says a lot about the lack of intellectual unification in the field of environmental studies.
