Product Description
The seventh edition of this classic student text explores the multitude of impacts that humans have had over time upon vegetation, animals, soils, water, landforms and the atmosphere. It also looks into the future and considers the ways in which climate changes and modifications in land cover may change the environment in coming decades. Extensively re-written, it contains many new statistical tables, figures, and references. It is essential reading for undergraduates in geography and environmental science, and for those who want a thorough, wide-ranging and balanced overview of the impacts of humans upon natural processes and systems from the Stone Age to the Anthropocene and who wish to understand the major environmental issues that concern the human race at the present time.

Customer Reviews
If you have to use this book for your Human Ecology class, I hope you have a good instructor. While my comprehension skills are typically very high, the book was very difficult to sift through. It seems to be written at a graduate level, but contains undergraduate level learning. Although I believe the author attempted humor at least once when he said that nitrous oxide is no laughing matter. I don't know if it was intentional, but I found it amusing.Either way, I learned more from class discussions and projects than I did from actually reading the book.
