Humans versus Nature: A Global Environmental History,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Since the appearance of Homo sapiens on the planet hundreds of thousands of years ago, human beings have sought to exploit their environments, extracting as many resources as their technological ingenuity has allowed. As technologies have advanced in recent centuries, that impulse has remained largely unchecked, exponentially accelerating the human impact on the environment.Humans versus Nature tells a history of the global environment from the Stone Age to the present, emphasizing the adversarial relationship between the human and natural worlds. Nature is cast as an active protagonist, rather than a mere backdrop or victim of human malfeasance. Daniel R. Headrick shows how environmental changesepidemics, climate shocks, and volcanic eruptionshave molded human societies and cultures, sometimes overwhelming them. At the same time, he traces the history of anthropogenic changes in the environmentspecies extinctions, global warming, deforestation, and resource depletionback to the age of hunters and gatherers and the first farmers and herders. He shows how human interventions such as irrigation systems, overfishing, and the Industrial Revolution have in turn harmed the very societies that initiated them.Throughout, Headrick examines how humandriven environmental changes are interwoven with larger global systems, dramatically reshaping the complex relationship between people and the natural world. In doing so, he roots the current environmental crisis in the deep past.
