[Lauri Aesoph]

Hello Everyone, 

Happy 2019 to everyone. Below is the latest for BCcampus Open Education. 

New textbook 

[ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=1ff23e21-e22d-482d-9fc5-6ec698b6817e&contributor=&keyword=&subject=Earth,%20Ocean%20&%20Atmospheric%20Science | Environmental Science: A Canadian Perspective ] 
This is the first open textbook published by Dalhousie University. It has been used for many years and underwent five revisions. When the author and Dalhousie faculty member, Bill Freedman, passed away, his widow agreed to publish the newest edition as an open textbook. This textbook is intended to provide the core elements of a curriculum for teaching environmental science at the introductory level in Canadian colleges and universities. This book is suitable for students beginning a program in environmental science, environmental studies, or sustainability .
