About The Book
The Environment in World History by Stephen Mosley takes a unique approach to global history by focusing on the environmental changes that have shaped human civilization over the past five hundred years. This thought-provoking book examines how human actions have transformed the Earth and placed increasing pressure on its natural resources.
The book explores a wide range of significant environmental issues, including:
-
The hunting of wildlife and loss of biodiversity across the globe.
-
The clearing of forests and the development of strategies to halt their decline.
-
Soil degradation, one of the most profound and unnoticed ways humans have altered the planet.
-
The impact of urban-industrial growth and the growing "ecological footprints" of cities worldwide.
-
Pollution of air, land, and water as a trade-off for continued economic growth.
Mosley offers a fresh environmental perspective on familiar world history narratives, such as imperialism, colonialism, trade, commerce, technological progress, and the advance of civilization. This book is essential reading for anyone studying world history, environmental studies, or the intersection of the two.
