This book hopes to fill the current gap in the market.\u003cbr\u003eINTERDISCIPLINARY APPEAL: Written in an accessible and engaging style to appeal to undergraduate students looking for an engaging overview of this important field. Will appeal to students within Geography, Environment Studies as well as other related fields.\u003cbr\u003eCLEAR AND ACCESSIBLE STRUCTURE: Clearly structured into three core sections to enhance student understanding with human and physical geography approaches thoroughly integrated throughout the text.\u003cbr\u003eILLUSTRATED IN FULL COLOUR THROUGHOUT \u003cbr\u003eCASE STUDIES: Includes numerous illustrative case studies throughout the text to ensure students are able to understand both the social and natural science approach to each issue. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis textbook explores the growing area of human-environment interaction. We live in the Anthropocene, an era dominated by humans, but also by the positive yet destructive environmental feedbacks that are poised to completely reset the relationships between nature and society. Modern and historic political, social, and cultural processes and physical landscape responses determine the intensity of these impacts. Yet different cultural groups, political and economic entities view, react to, and impact these human-environmental processes in spatially distinct and divergent ways. \u003cbr\u003eProviding an accessible, up-to-date, approach to human-environment interactions with balanced coverage of both social and natural science approaches to core environmental issues, this textbook is an integrative, multi-disciplinary offering that discusses environmental issues and processes within the context of human societies. The book begins by addressing the three most pressing issues of our time: climate change, threshold exceedance, and the 6th mass extinction. From there the authors identify within chapters on resources, population, agriculture and urbanization what precipitated and continues to sustain these three issues. They end with a chapter outlining some practical solutions to our human-environment crises.\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be a valuable resource for interdisciplinary environment related courses bridging the gap between the social and natural sciences, human geographies and physical geographies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark R.
