In ancient Greece and Rome an ambiguous relationship developed
between man and nature, and this decisively determined the manner
in which they treated the environment. On the one hand, nature was
conceived as a space characterized and inhabited by divine powers,
which deserved appropriate respect. On the other, a rationalist
view emerged, according to which humans were to subdue nature using
their technologies and to dispose of its resources. This book
systematically describes the ways in which the Greeks and Romans
intervened in the environment and thus traces the history of the
tension between the exploitation of resources and the protection of
nature, from early Greece to the period of late antiquity. At the
same time it analyses the comprehensive opening up of the
Mediterranean and the northern frontier regions, both for
settlement and for economic activity. The book's level and approach
make it highly accessible to students and non-specialists.
