In this volume the dynamic patterns of human density and
distribution are examined in relation to the viability of native
species and the integrity of their habitats. Social, biological,
and earth scientists describe their models, outline their
conclusions from field studies, and review the contributions of
other scientists whose work is essential to this field. The book
starts with general theories and broad empirical relationships that
help explain dramatic changes in the patterns of the occurrence of
species, changes that have developed in parallel with human
population growth, migration and settlement. In the following
chapters specific biomes and ecosystems are highlighted as the
context for human interactions with other species. A discussion of
the key themes and findings covered rounds out the volume. All in
all, the work presents our species, "Homo sapiens," as what we
truly have been and will likely remain an influential, and often
the most influential, constituent in nearly every major ecosystem
on Earth."
