Leaving Eden is a wide-ranging survey of what is arguably the
greatest challenge facing humanity today: the preservation of the
natural environment. Nisbet discusses the primary physical,
chemical, and biological controls on the natural environment,
focusing on the complex interplay between atmospheric and
terrestrial elements such as the sun, the oceans, and the forests,
and is concerned with the effects of human disruption of these
natural systems. Integrating discussions of scientific puzzles with
problems facing humanity at large, the author addresses issues such
as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, deforestation,
chlorofluorocarbons, nuclear waste, agricultural subsidies, and
population management. The book also offers an extensive discussion
of the ways in which the environment can be protected. With its
particular emphasis on the interaction of human behavior and
nature, this book is suitable not only for individuals interested
in environmental studies, geography, economics, and earth science,
but for all those concerned with the future of the Earth.
