Common Ground explores the shifting relationship between human
society and the landscapes that bear it. Examining the changing
understandings of the natural world and its management and
exploitation, environmental activist Mark Everard presents
solutions in the nature of ecosystem services. Notwithstanding our
total dependence on the Earth's natural resources, the relationship
between humanity and the land has shifted significantly and
frequently throughout our tenure, brief as it is relative to the
evolution of planetary life. Appropriating increasing proportions
of nature's resources to meet our shifting and growing demands, we
have been degrading the quality and extent of ecosystems, nearly
destroying their capacities to meet the needs of a burgeoning
population. The book offers a fresh and vital whole-system approach
to the key under-pinning the issue of sustainability. Everard looks
ahead to what is required to live sustainably, respecting the
central role of landscapes in supporting human wellbeing into the
long-term future.
