About the Course

Thank you for your interest in Cognella Active Learning materials for A User's Guide for Planet Earth by Dork Sahagian. The book is organized to provide students with an exploration of key background issues as a foundation for understanding the processes and drivers that control the behavior of the environment. It then delves into the main environmental systems of ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, water, agriculture, oceans, human health, energy, and climate, culminating in a discussion of the Earth system.
