Humanity's future may rest on how we deal with climate change,
environmental problems, and their impacts on society. Terrestrial
Transformations: A Political Ecology Approach to Society and Nature
recognizes that such problems have social, political, and cultural
contexts, and that politics, money, and power have physical impacts
on nature and society that cannot be ignored. This book brings
together a set of chapters that provide an overview of the
political ecology approach, illustrating its theoretical
underpinnings, central concepts, methods, and major interests. The
authors examine the political contexts of a broad range of
environmental and social problems, drawing attention to the
political and economic forces driving environmental and ecological
problems, how societies are transformed as they attempt to cope and
adapt to a changing nature, and who pays the price.
