The very survival of the planet is at risk: human misuse of natural
resources and disturbance of natural environmental systems is
pushing the Earth to the limits of its capacity. The Environment is
a lively, comprehensive introduction for environmental study,
explaining how the environment functions, how environmental systems
relate, and the ways in which people and environment interact.
Focussing particularly on the environmental impacts of human
activities, the book explains the ways in which an understanding of
basic physical principles can help us to use the environment and
its resources. Three particular approaches are adopted throughout:
a systems approach - highlighting the interactions and
interrelationships between the environment's diverse parts an
interdisciplinary perspective - stepping back from individual
subject focus to examine the complex breadth of the environment's
diversity a global perspective - incorporating stimulating examples
drawn from around the world to illustrate broad global patterns and
contrasts. The Environment explains the principles and applications
of the different parts of the Earth's system: the lithosphere, the
atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and explains the interrelationship
across these systems. It explores the present environmental crisis,
examines how the planet Earth fits into the wider universe, and
explores human-environment interactions, to offer a clear
understanding of the diverse and complex environment we live in and
new ways of thinking about the way it is changing. Specific
features include: Lively, stimulating and accessible text Superb
illustrations: 4-colour plate sections Case studies drawn from
around the world, boxed within the text Chapter summaries Annotated
further reading lists A Lecturer's Manual is available to accompany
the text
