This is a history of the impact of humankind on the natural
environment from earliest times to the present. The first edition
has been widely adopted in universities, acclaimed both for its
wide scholarship and its author's readable style. The new edition
is fully revised throughout and takes account of comments and
suggestions received from all over the world. It has been
restructured into a form appropriate for new methods of university
teaching, the diagrams have been clarified, and references and
sections of further reading provided at the end of each chapter.
To the underlying argument that access to energy is a crucial
influence on the use and exploitation of nature, the author has now
added a revealing perspective drawn from a critical understanding
of the evolution of world systems. In a new and thoughtful
conclusion he considers the variable rate of environmental change,
the problems of prediction, and the complex issues surrounding the
formulation and implementation of national and international
policy
