[edit] GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE
This text provides a chronological review of the change in the Earth's surface during the last two centuries. It refers to the theory of environmental change, linking philosophies such as the Gaia. It also provides coverage of environmental research supported, with case-studies.
Extensively revised and rewritten to reflect the growth in environmental research during the last decade. Human-induced environmental change is occurring at such a rapid rate that, inevitably, the fundamental processes involved in biogeochemical cycling are being altered. Global Environmental Change considers alterations to the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and other elements as a result of industrial/technological development and agriculture, which have significantly altered the natural environment. The book adopts a temporal and spatial approach to environmental change. This edition continues to provide a chronological broad-based synopsis of the transformation of the Earth's surface during the last three million years. *Refers to the theory of environmental change, examining philosophies such as the Gaia hypothesis and placing more emphasis on issues such as biodiversity *Supported with new international case studies that provide a comprehensive global vision of environmental change *An extensive and updated bibliography and further reading suggestions *Contains over 70 illustrations
