Courses which deal with environmental history have long lacked a
comprehensive overview. I. G. Simmons has made a significant
contribution with a book that looks at the long-term history of
environment and humanity from 10,000 BC to AD 2000. This
far-reaching text considers the global picture and recognises the
contributions of many disciplines including the natural sciences,
the social sciences, and increasingly, the humanities. As a
starting point, this book takes the major phases of human
technological evolution of the last 12,000 years and considers how
these have affected the natural world. It then considers the
response to conditions such as climate change, putting today's
preoccupations into a long-term perspective. This is a book of
history, not prophecy, and so makes no judgements on current
anxieties. Key features: *Includes a glossary of unfamiliar terms
*Notable in being a history and not a polemic *Examines the
interrelation of history and nature, drawing on many fields of
learning *Extensive coverage makes this ideal background reading
for more specialised treatments and studies
