Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint with Revised Index. Paperback. This book is concerned with the ways in which man had changed and is changing the face of the earth, and with the human component in natural processes and systems. It has been written in the first place for university students of geography and environmental science. The book opens with a consideration of the development of ideas about man-environment interaction, in particular those relating to population increase and technological change. Chapters are then devouted to the human impact on vegetation, animals, the soil, water and water resources, landforms, and climate and the atmosphere. During the course of the book, Dr. Goudie analyses the causes and consequences of environmental change associated with, for example, domestication agriculture, extinctions, erosion, salinization, deforestation and urbanization. he shows how these processes and phenomena may iterrelate and how the complex of relationshios changes with time. The book concludes with a disucssion of the difficulties of isolating the causes of change, and of determining how far these may be natural or man-made. The author looks at the problems of stability and resilience in natural systems and examines how far the reversibility or modification of environmental processes may be feasible or desirable.
