Scientists and policymakers are beginning to understand in
ever-increasing detail that environmental problems cannot be
understood solely through the biophysical sciences. Environmental
issues are fundamentally human issues and must be set in the
context of social, political, cultural, and economic knowledge. The
need both to understand how human beings in the past responded to
climatic and other environmental changes and to synthesize the
implications of these historical patterns for present-day
sustainability spurred a conference of the world's leading scholars
on the topic. "The Way the Wind Blows" is the rich result of that
conference.
Articles discuss the dynamics of climate, human perceptions of
and responses to the environment, and issues of sustainability and
resiliency. These themes are illustrated through discussions of
human societies around the world and throughout history.
