This book pulls together major critiques of contemporary attempts
to explain nature-society relations in an environmentally
deterministic way. After defining key terms, it reviews the history
of environmental determinism's rise and fall within geography in
the early twentieth century. It discusses the key reasons for the
doctrine's rejection and presents alternative, non-deterministic
frameworks developed within geography for analyzing the roles
played by the environment in human affairs. The authors examine the
rise in recent decades of neo-deterministic approaches to such
issues as the demarcation of regions, the causes of civilizational
collapse in prehistory, today's globally uneven patterns of human
well-being, and the consequences of human-induced climate change.
In each case, the authors draw on the insights and approaches of
geography, the academic discipline most conversant with the
interactions of society and environment, to challenge the
widespread acceptance that such approaches have won. The book will
appeal to those working on human-environmental research,
international development and global policy initiatives.
