Summary

The Streamlines series of brief, inexpensive single-theme readers is designed to help students write increasingly thoughtful, analytic essays as their understanding of a subject grows. The Natural World offers extended exploration of environmental issues and includes an introduction to the topic, headnotes, questions, and writing assignments. The reader begins with an introduction to the variety of issues surrounding "nature," to the collected essayists' approaches to these issues, and to possible student approaches.
