<br/><br/> "Covering the past 500 years of global history, The Environment in W orld History examines the processes that have transformed the earth and have put growing pressure on natural resources." "The Environment in W orld History also examines how European expansion overseas brought abou t a fundamental reorganisation of the world's ecology as contact betwee n long-isolated continents was re-established. It offers a fresh enviro nmental perspective on familiar world-history narratives of imperialism and colonialism, trade and commerce, and technological progress and th e advance of civilisation, and will be invaluable reading for all stude nts of world history and environmental studies."--BOOK JACKET.
