No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1978–79 (before that, 1970–71 to 1971–72 used the number for Man-Environment and Biological Perspectives on Man’s Function and Behaviour); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Survey and analyses of selected environmental issues drawing upon concepts and theories from the natural and life sciences. Content of course closely integrated with M Env 130 and organized into thematic units dealing with human and community studies, resource and environmental management, technology and society inter-relationships. To be taken concurrently with M Env 130
As printed in the 1975–76 to 1978–79 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Selected topics in biology will be studied in the context of some current problems facing mankind. Specifically, relevant aspects of genetics, evolution, embryology, reproductive physiology, and brain function will be applied to the problems of foreign substances in the body (pollution and drugs), the population explosion (birth control), and biological warfare. Critical evaluation of current research will be stressed. Prerequisite: Honours Man-Environment or consent of Instructor 3 lectures (Fall term)
