About this book
Examines how and why environments change as a result of natural and human-mediated processes. Considers the scales of time and space over which changes in our environments occur; how human use of the resources of energy, land, water and the atmosphere effect environments; the role of technology and economics in shaping human actions on our environments; and the use and limitations of different models for thinking about environmental change.
