Nature and Power – A Global History of the Environment
Häftad bok. Cambridge University Press – and German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C. 2008. xvii, (1), 430 sidor.
Mycket gott skick. "This book aims to demonstrate that the changing relationship between humanity and nature is key to understanding world history. Humans have been grappling with environmental problems since prehistoric times, and the environmental unsustainability of human practices has often been a decisive, if not immediately evident, shaping factor in history. The measures that societies and states have adopted to stabilize the relationship between humans and the natural world have repeatedly contributed to environmental crises over the course of history."
