Revealed Biodiversity: An Economic History of the Human Impact aims
to show that for several centuries environmental conditions have
been substantially the product of economic fluctuations. It
contests the notion of perpetual decline in species composition.
The arguments are supported by far more precise historical detail
than is usual in books about ecology. The need to take the gains to
human society into account when assessing environmental change is
strongly emphasized. The book features case studies including
England, the Netherlands, USA, East Asia, Brazil, and the areas of
modern agricultural 'land grab'.This book is important for its
close attention to the documented historical record of
environmental change in several countries over several centuries;
for its demonstration of how much wildlife populations have been
influenced by fluctuations in market activity; for revealing the
need to be sensitive to historical baselines; and for emphasizing
the imperative of taking the gains to human society into account
when assessing environmental change. It, therefore, has
considerable significance for environmental and conservation
policies as well as for future studies in ecological history.
