Carbon is chemically versatile and is thus the body and soul of
biological, geological, ecological and economic systems. Its
appropriation by humans through diversion of its biogeochemical
cycle has been a mainstay of development. This domestication is
characterized by a number of thresholds: control of fire,
development of agriculture, expansion of Europe, fossil-fuel use
and biotechnology. All have exacted an environmental toll, not
least being climatic change and biodiversity loss. Carbon
management now and in the future is a hot' political issue.There is
no existing book which focuses on the pivotal role of carbon in the
environment and society and the ways in which carbon has been
domesticated in time and space to generate wealth and political
advantage. Students of environmental science, geography, biology
and general science will find this work invaluable as a
cross-disciplinary text.
