Description
The first in a series of four books, this text aims to provide readers with some basic perspectives essential to an understanding of environmental issues. It moves from commonsense debates over (the use and abuse of) a national park, through geological and biological interpretations of the development of the biosphere, natural hazards and present-day ecosystems, to the history of society's growing impacts on environments and philosophical analysis of competing varieties of environmentalism.
