by Walter K. Dodds

Published by Columbia University Press. 1st. 2008

Nearly fine condition. For the first time in history, humans have taxed the sustaining capacity of Earth's ecosystems. Walter Dodds depicts in clear, nontechnical terms the root causes and global environmental effects of human behavior. Trends in population growth, resource use, and global environmental impacts of the past two centuries, such as the greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, water pollution, and species extinctions and introductions. Pictorial cardwraps. xiv and 270 pages including index.

A lovely copy.
