This textbook explores the growing area of human-environment
interaction. We live in the Anthropocene, an era dominated by
humans, but also by the positive yet destructive environmental
feedbacks that are poised to completely reset the relationships
between nature and society. Modern and historic political, social,
and cultural processes and physical landscape responses determine
the intensity of these impacts. Yet different cultural groups,
political and economic entities view, react to, and impact these
human-environmental processes in spatially distinct and divergent
ways. Providing an accessible, up-to-date, approach to
human-environment interactions with balanced coverage of both
social and natural science approaches to core environmental issues,
this textbook is an integrative, multi-disciplinary offering that
discusses environmental issues and processes within the context of
human societies. The book begins by addressing the three most
pressing issues of our time: climate change, threshold exceedance,
and the 6th mass extinction. From there the authors identify within
chapters on resources, population, agriculture and urbanization
what precipitated and continues to sustain these three issues. They
end with a chapter outlining some practical solutions to our
human-environment crises. The book will be a valuable resource for
interdisciplinary environment related courses bridging the gap
between the social and natural sciences, human geographies and
physical geographies.
