About this book
While there is a large and rapidly expanding literature dealing with how people affect the environment, less attention has been given in recent years to how the environment shapes human development, for example in the increased dispersal of diseases and pests or the vulnerability to natural disaster sometimes entailed by technological innovation. The book addresses the key issues and provides a valuable introduction to the major debates.
