Features: To express these viewpoints more comprehensively and effectively, they need to be organized within a system, enabling readers to approach sustainable development issues from a more complete background. For this purpose, a concise introduction to the biosphere, the world, and major environmental issues in China is essential. These materials are all derived from existing research findings at home and abroad. The contribution of this book lies in organizing these materials into an outline, allowing readers and students to grasp the key points. The remaining chapters are supported by objective evidence to delve into the relationship between humans and nature. Regarding environmental issues, we must not only know what they are but more importantly, understand why they exist. In other words, simply memorizing words, phrases, or slogans is not enough to grasp a concept; what matters more is understanding the stance, perspective, and methodology of the concept when viewing issues. Similarly, recognizing environmental issues is not enough to merely memorize data and charts; what matters more is mastering the stance, perspective, and methodology for understanding environmental issues. Briefly, this book takes a Chinese perspective, adopts the historical viewpoint of Western civilization's expansion, and employs the method of examining whether the speed of economic growth is harmonious with the rhythms of ecosystems to understand environmental issues. The main purpose of this book is to form a distinctive green perspective.
