The history of the twentieth century is most often told through its
world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic
upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our
first general account of what may prove to be the most significant
dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a
degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the
earth's air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are a
part. Based on exhaustive research, McNeill's story a compelling
blend of anecdotes, data, and shrewd analysis never preaches: it is
our definitive account. This is a volume in The Global Century
Series (general editor, Paul Kennedy)."
