by William M. Marsh; John Grossa
First line
From the rear cover
Offering a true geographic approach to environmental issues, this Third Edition of William Marsh and John Grossa's ENVIRONMENTAL GEOGRAPHY: SCIENCE, LAND USE, AND EARTH SYSTEMS examines human-related environmental issues in the context of the processes and systems of physical geography.
Throughout, the authors emphasize traditional themes of geography, such as the concept of an integrated planet; the principles of space, scale, and distributions; the idea of landscape as a human-environmental interplay; and the perspective of earth as a dynamic planet with many environmental opportunities, constraints, and risks.
Now updated and revised, this Third Edition features:
- A continuing theme of sustainability, with more emphasis on efforts by governments, corporations, private organizations, and individuals that are showing promise in bringing us into balance with the planet.
- 16 new case studies, 12 of which deal with sustainability issues.
- A revised organization. The first five chapters have been rearranged to provide a better flow of topics from issues and perspectives, to environmental foundation material, to factual matter on the condition of earth and its people.
- New material in several chapters, including the increasing role of NGO's in working out solutions to environmental problems from the global to the local level.
- Thoroughly updated statistics on population, energy, and food production.
- Revised graphics, including dozens of new photos.
