This major new text provides an historical introduction to the evolution of the relationship between people and their environment from the last ice age to the present. Written clearly and accessibly, the book is aimed explicitly at introductory students who may come from a range ofdisciplines and presupposes no background knowledge. The authors explore a number of key themes on the interaction of society, culture and environment which they illustrate with carefully chosen case studies from around the world. These are sufficiently widely separated in space and time to givethe reader a sense of progression. The book is illustrated with photographs and diagrams and includes chapter summaries listing key ideas, and a glossary of terms.
