Environment In World History

by Stephen Mosley

Covering the last five hundred years of global history, The Environment in World History examines the processes that have transformed the Earth and put growing pressure on natural resources. Chapters and case studies explore a wide range of issues, The Environment in World History offers a fresh environmental perspective on familiar world history narratives of imperialism and colonialism, trade and commerce, and technological progress and the advance of civilisation, and will be invaluable reading for all students of world history and environmental studies.

Very, very dense - took me a long time to get through this barely-over-100 pg. book. Still, it was highly informative and does a relatively good job of condensing a whole lot of environmental issues and connecting them to the history of human life.

Bu konunun cok eski ve orjinal olmayan bir ornegi bu kitap. Env. Historyi hunting, irragation, deforestation ve cities olarak bolmus. Aralarindaki bagi kuramamis, tekrar edip durmus.
