Although the organizing principle of virtually every world history
text is "development", the editor of this volume maintains that
this traditional approach fails to address the issue of
sustainability. By adopting the ecological process as their major
theme, the authors show how the process of human interaction with
the natural environment unfolded in the past, and offer perspective
on the ecological crises in our world at the beginning of the 21st
century. Topics range from broad regional studies that examine
important aspects of the global environment that affect nations, to
a study of the widespread influence of one important individual on
his nation and beyond. The authors take different approaches, but
all share the conviction that world history must take ecological
process seriously, and they all recognize the ways in which the
living and non-living systems of the earth have influenced the
course of human affairs.
