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. This text is a
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; and "a
global perspective" - incorporating stimulating examples drawn from
around the world to illustrate broad global patterns and contrasts.
