Humanity and Environment: A Cultural Ecology Ian G. Simmons
A unique text which takes a holistic approach to human-environment relations. Draws out each process and problem and then considers the differring attitudes and resolutions offered by humans to themselves and to nature. Key topics questions include: A humanized world, is there still a natural environment? How have social sciences helped our understanding of the world? What are the impacts of laws and regulations on human activities? and What constitutes material resources, both renewable and non-renewable?
