This introductory level text explores various theoretical approaches to human-environment geography, demonstrating how local dynamics and global processes influence how we interact with our environments.





Introduces students to fundamental concepts in environmental geography and science Explores the core theoretical traditions within the field, along with major thematic issues such as population, food and agriculture, and water resources Offers an engaging and unique view of the spatial relationships between humans and their environment across geographical locations around the world Includes a variety of real-world policy questions and emphasizes geographys strong tradition of field work by featuring prominent nature-society geographers in guest field notes

Recenzijos

"This is a great textbook, which introduces students to fundamental concepts in environmental geography and science. . . It is warmly recommended to bachelor students in human ecology and to master degree students in environmental sciences and geography." (International Journal Environment & Pollution, 1 October 2014)

"Contributes a much-needed geographic perspective to the burgeoning, interdisciplinary field of environmental studies.... Where many environmental science texts operate from the assumption that nature is a place without humans, this book demonstrates that even forests and soils have a human history.... Well-suited to beginning undergraduates. Chapters contain clear learning objectives, summaries, and end-of-chapter questions. Scientific and social scientific concepts are explained with a minimum of technical terminology. Geography students will find it provides a solid foundation for future studies in human-environment interactions... fills an important niche by adding a distinctly geographical voice to the environmental studies conversation." (Journal of Geography, September 2014)

"As a primer on the sort of ideas that should be considered, this is a useful addition." (Ecogeog, 1 May 2014)

"Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduate and graduate readers." (Choice, 1 May 2014)
