"If only one text in the field could be used, this book would be my choice." -- C.P. Wolf, "Science Books and Films" Like the earlier editions of this now-classic geography text, this new edition is global in scope, written with a meticulous eye for detail and a concern for the overarching concepts. It covers all areas of the complexity of human- environment interaction. The fourth edition has been substantially updated to take into account the increasing emphasis on environmental impacts, particularly deforestation, desertification, ecological invasions such as marine pollution, climatic change, and the climatic future. New suggestions for further reading and 128 additional references are also included.
