Inhaltsangabe

An accessible introduction to themes and issues within the field of environmental geography, to some of the human practices and systems that sustain the anthropocene. This book combines accounts of the carbon cycle, global heat balances, entropy, hydrology, forest ecology, and pedology, with theories of demography, war, industrial capitalism, urban development, state theory, and behavioural psychology. Beyond the broad focus of this volume on human-environmental relations, the book is primarily devoted to understanding the particular role that geographers, and a geographical point of view, can play in the critical analysis of the anthropocene.
