�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The purpose of this book is to document the changes in the biosphere that have taken place over the last 300 years.

Cr�ticas

'Collectively, this is a superb and comprehensive volume.' Geology

' ... a landmark study, which will undoubtedly be a valuable reference and source of information for many years to come.' Geophysics

' ... an impressive and highly laudable undertaking by geographers to 'put it all together', that is, to establish a theoretical framework for assessing the environmental changes wrought by modern societies in the past three centuries, and to document these changes in detail. As such, the tome will serve as an indispensable reference and resource on global change. It will be used by all scholars, teachers and students concerned with the increasingly pressing issue of the environment and its management - or mismanagement - by humans everywhere on our planet.' Nature

'Despite the large number of authors and the enormous amount of information presented in each chapter, individual chapters read well, and the book as a whole is well-organised. The editors have produced a book with a clear conceptual theme and conformity of style among chapters; the tables and figures are exceptional. An important reference on human ecology that belongs in the library of every environmental scientist ...' Choice
