Description

Global environmental change often seems to be the most carefully examined issue of our time. Yet understanding the human side--human causes of and responses to environmental change--has not yet received sustained attention. Global Environmental Change offers a strategy for combining the efforts of natural and social scientists to better understand how our actions influence global change and how global change influences us.

Reviews

"Many books have been written on the human dimensions of global environmental problems, but none has attempted as broad a survey as Global Environmental Change. For this reason, the book likely will become a benchmark to which future surveys will be compared." --Forum for Applied Research and Public Policy, Winter 1993
