Ya está disponible
el capítulo sobre energía. Y se están programando webinars para futuros usuarios. Eso sí, la traducción al español creo que hay que mejorarla :)
It was a privilege to introduce our free online environmental science e-textbook, Healing Earth,
to the Jesuit university presidents at the 2015 Conference on Jesuit
Higher Education in Melbourne, Australia. As promised at the conference,
we are conducting free, live webinars to help inform the faculty in
your colleges/universities about Healing Earth for their
potential use in the classroom. We request that you please forward this
webinar invitation to the appropriate deans and faculty at your
institution.
Faculty Textbook Adopters: Healing Earth,
a Jesuit environmental science e-textbook was written by over 90
scholars from Jesuit colleges and universities worldwide. Scholars have
collaborated for over three years to write this textbook that calls
attention to the most pressing environmental issues of our time and
fully integrates the perspectives of ethics, spirituality and action.
Whether students explore the declining biodiversity in Kakadu or how climate change affects the Mongolian Herders,
they will learn environmental science through the Ignatian lenses of
ethics, spirituality and a call to action to steward our ever-changing
planet.
We’d like to invite you to join us for a free one-hour webinar on Healing Earth on October 15 or 16, 2015.
We will describe how a traditional environmental science course can be
transformed by the additional perspectives of ethical evaluation,
spiritual reflection and effective action. There will be ample time for
questions to be answered. For your convenience we will be offering the
webinar at two separate times and it will be recorded.
For a brief introduction to Healing Earth, check out the Welcome and Introduction sections and read our completed chapters on Biodiversity, Water and Global Climate Change.
Please forward this webinar invitation email broadly throughout your institution. Healing Earth
is ideal for Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Biology,
Ecology, Sociology, and Theology faculty. Parts or all of this textbook
can be used in first and second year university courses that focus on
the environment, environmental action, social justice, ethics,
spirituality or civic engagement.
Thank you,
