Earth Matters, now in its third edition, continues to explore some of the most pressing environmental, social and economic issues of our time on an easy to use CD-ROM.

Through 32 readings and 42 innovative teaching activities, secondary students can begin to understand the complexities of population pressures, climate change, natural resource use, wildlife endangerment, distribution of wealth and food, urbanization, public health, gender equity, economic progress and how all these issues are interrelated.  Each unit also contains a glossary and lists of suggested books and websites for further research.

Most importantly, Earth Matters helps prepare students to be "global citizens," using critical thinking and creative problem-solving techniques.
